1. In onCreate() method of MainApplication, add following line of code

class MainApplication : Application() {

    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()

        BelivePlayerUtil.initWorkspace(this)
    }
}

2. Initialize BeLive SDK in MainActivity of your app

private fun initBeliveSdk() {
        val userId = "userId"
        val username = "userName"
        BeliveSdkInitialization.Builder(this)
            .setUserId(userId)
            .setUsername(username)
            .setUserDisplayName(username)
            .setUserAvatarUrl("profile.jpg")
            .setInitCallback(object: BeliveSdkInitialization.BeliveSdkInitCallback{
                override fun onFinished(status: BeliveInitStatus.Status, message: String?) {
                    when(status){
                        BeliveInitStatus.Status.INITIALIZATION_SUCCESS -> {

                                doUpdateUI()
                                canStartLive = true
                        }
                        BeliveInitStatus.Status.INITIALIZATION_LOGIN_FAILED -> {
                            
                            // failed to login
                        }
                        else -> { }
                    }
                }
            }).build().init()
    }

3. Start Live stream or watch live stream using following lines of code

btnGoLive.setOnClickListener {
            val customShareTextAndUrl = "custom share text and url" // optional. Leave it empty for default behavior
            BeliveSdkNavigator.instance().goLive(this, StreamQualityOptions.STREAM_QUALITY_SHOW, customShareTextAndUrl)
        }

btnJoinRoom.setOnClickListener {
            val slug = "stream_slug" // leave it empty if you want title and password screen
            val customShareTextAndUrl = "custom share text and url" // optional. Leave it empty for default behavior
            BeliveSdkNavigator.instance().joinRoom(this, slug, customShareTextAndUrl)

        }

SDK provides join live or go live navigation controller out of the box. See the below code for navigating user to host or viewer controller.

class MainViewController: BaseViewController {

    let goLiveAndJoinRoom = GoLiveAndJoinViewController()
        fileprivate var shoul_rotate: Bool = false
        var isStatusBarHidden: Bool = false {
            didSet{
                UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5) { () -> Void in
                    self.setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate()
                }
            }
        }
        override func viewDidLoad() {
            super.viewDidLoad()

            self.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(true, animated: true)
            isStatusBarHidden = true
            self.addChild(goLiveAndJoinRoom)
            addChildToContainer(parent: self.view, child: goLiveAndJoinRoom.view)
            goLiveAndJoinRoom.didMove(toParent: self)
            
            }
   }
