Direzione di ricerca

Start with the Spectacles Mobile Kit getting-started documentation and the repository's sample projects, then check whether any documented SDK entry point covers media transfer. Done would require a confirmed supported API and example, or a clearly documented feature request if the capability is unavailable.

Descrizione

Hello Team 👋

I’m currently exploring the Spectacles Mobile Kit SDK and reviewing the documentation here:
https://developers.snap.com/spectacles/spectacles-frameworks/spectacles-mobile-kit/getting-started

My use case requires retrieving videos and images captured by Spectacles directly into a custom mobile application.

While going through the SDK and sample projects, I wasn’t able to find any exposed API or module that allows access to or transfer of media (photos/videos) stored on the Spectacles device.

I noticed that the official Spectacles mobile app (available on the Google Play Store) already supports importing videos and images from the Spectacles device into the phone.
This confirms that the functionality is technically possible through a communication interface between Spectacles and mobile devices.

I’d like to understand whether the same capability can be accessed (or extended) through Spectacles Mobile Kit, or whether it is currently restricted to Snap’s internal applications only. Like this highlighted in rectangles.

Questions

  1. Is it possible (via Spectacles Mobile Kit SDK or any related Snap SDK) to programmatically access or download media files (photos/videos) from Spectacles to a custom mobile app?
  2. If not, is there any recommended approach or roadmap for exposing this functionality to developers?
  3. Could you please share any code snippet, sample, or documentation demonstrating how media retrieval is handled through the SDK (if supported)?
  4. If this feature is not currently part of Spectacles Mobile Kit, would it be possible to request it as a feature enhancement for future SDK releases?

Environment Details
SDK: Spectacles Mobile Kit
Platform: Android (Kotlin) [Android 16]
Spectacles Device: Spectacles'24 (v5.064.0399)
Use Case: Retrieve captured photos/videos from Spectacles to a mobile app for local display and processing

Expected Behavior
Ability to download Spectacles-captured media into a custom mobile application — similar to how the official Spectacles app imports media.

Actual Behavior
Could not find any API, class, or example in the Spectacles Mobile Kit SDK that exposes access to Spectacles media storage or transfer.

Alternatively, any guidance on integrating with the Snapchat import/export flow or a potential partner API for this functionality would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and for maintaining such a great developer ecosystem around Spectacles and Snap’s SDKs! 🙏
Looking forward to your insights.
