Introdution to Texting Story Video Maker

In this site I will share you how I build this android application, Texting Story Video Maker. Texting Story Video Maker is an android application which can run whatsapp conversation like automatically. I will share about the application, architecture, code, database, monetization, etc. So I hope articles on this website can give you benefits.

Texting Story Video Maker is my first Android Apps. It is simply a web view to a dynamic website. I ask someone on fiverr to make the apps with admob. I meet Usman, his work is outstanding. He create the apps only in 2 or 3 days. Amazing.  Why webview? Because I don't really know android programming. Also we can easily change the content, no need to deploy new APK.

Next I build the core. It is a JavaScript, HTML, CSS combination. No server side processing, why? Because I don't want to spend money too much on it. Typically I spend around $10 to pay a hosting and domain in a year. If I using static website, I can cut the cost to $0 by using firebase hosting :)

Yes, I deploy all the program in google firebase hosting. Very cheap and reliable. The cost is based on usage and have free tier if the traffic and usage is below specific threshold. Totally fair for me. Traffic and usage of my apps still low. Last month billing is only Rp. 200 (equal to $0.0138).

I will give you all the technical details in this website. So stay tuned on this website!

Technical Details on Android Application of Texting Story Video Maker

 I don't create android apps, I ask Usman on fiverr to do that. But I add some JavascriptInterface to show Android Native Share Dialog and minor modification :) If I see the code, It only has 1 activity, MainActivity. All the logic reside in that java class. It initialize UI, prepare web view, do logic, etc. I added 1 java class to handle JavascriptInterface. MainActivity handles several things: Keep open Play and Share page in the apps (doesn't go to browser), show admob banner ads. & admob interestial ads. The web page URL that opened on the first screen is loaded from firebase realtime database. So If I decide to rename the page then simply change in the firebase. Admob Id for banner also stored in firebase realtime database. There is no sophiscated things in this apps. Simply a webview.
