Background:

Problem Statement:

Currently knowlg block doesn't provide pdf player experience for the mobile device (Experiencing Pdf player in mobile device)

Key design problems:

• How can we extend to add for another player

• How to test with different sizes of contents

• Where we need store this application code

• How to handle portrait and landscape mode

• How to distribute APK to tester/adapters

Design:

Solution:

• We are using the ionic framework to render the player and its link.

• using ionic version of 6.1.9 and node js version is 14 onwards

• We can have players like pdf ,video and epub and we can implement different components each.

• In the players list component we can have the list of the players

• In the content list component we can have hardcoded list contents as of now , based on player selected in player list component

• The player component will load the player with selected content from the list.

• The player component will be integrated with respected players and the pdf player will be integrated in the pdf player component and follow the steps.

• We are handling landscape mode only , not supporting the portrait mode.

• As of now we can have one individual repository to store code or we can get details of new repo and store code.

• We can have an apk link in the microsite so that it will be accessible to testers and adopters.

Pros:

• Its easy to implement

• we can have different components for different players
