ENABLE ANIMATED STICKERS #661

HOW DO I ENABLE SUPPORT TO ADD ANIMATED STICKERS
Animated stickers are enabled on whatsapp, but the app still doesn't allow me to add them

UdeeshaInduwara · 2020-07-12T11:45:43Z

Same problem here.

For developers who are preparing their application for animated stickers, they can start doing it but they need a rooted phone. I indicate the steps with which I have managed to install third-party stickers:

1.- Make sure you have a file explorer that supports the root. If you don't have much idea about this, please download the * Solid Explorer File Manager * from the Play Store. Now when you open the app, grant it root access.
Open File Manager and go to the root partition.
Then go to Data> Data and navigate to the com.whatsapp folder.
Go to the shared_prefs folder and find the file com.whatsapp_preferences.xml

Now add the following lines to that xml file, anywhere inside the tags

<map> 
<boolean name="third_party_animated_sticker" value="true" />
 </map>

In ContentProvider add:


    private val ANIMATED_STICKER = "animated_sticker_pack"
    private val STICKER_FILE_ANIMATED = "is_animated_sticker"

private fun getStickerPackInfo(uri: Uri, stickerPackList: List<StickerSet>): Cursor {
   val cursor = MatrixCursor(
            arrayOf(
                 ......................
                 ......................
                 ......................
                IMAGE_DATA_VERSION,
                AVOID_CACHE,
                ANIMATED_STICKER

            )
        )
      for (stickerPack in stickerPackList) {
            val builder = cursor.newRow()
            ......................
            ......................
            ......................
            builder.add(stickerPack.isAnimated)
        }
        cursor.setNotificationUri(Objects.requireNonNull(context).contentResolver, uri)
        return cursor
}
private fun getStickersForAStickerPack(uri: Uri): Cursor {
        val identifier = uri.lastPathSegment
        val cursor = MatrixCursor(arrayOf(STICKER_FILE_NAME_IN_QUERY, 
             STICKER_FILE_EMOJI_IN_QUERY, STICKER_FILE_ANIMATED))
        for (stickerSet in stickerPackList()) {
            if (identifier == stickerSet.id.toString()) {
                for (sticker in stickerSet.stickers) {
                    cursor.addRow(arrayOf<Any>(sticker.fileName, sticker.emoji, sticker.isAnimated))
                }
            }
        }
        cursor.setNotificationUri(Objects.requireNonNull(context).contentResolver, uri)
        return cursor
    }

3.- If you use the code of StickerPackValidator.java also remove the lines

 if (webPImage.getFrameCount() > 1) {
                    throw new IllegalStateException("sticker should be a static image, no animated sticker support at the moment, sticker pack identifier:" + identifier + ", filename:" + fileName);
                }

Verify that each animated sticker is not greater than 300Kb

Para los desarrolladores que estén preparando su aplicación para las pegatinas animadas, pueden comenzar hacerlo pero necesitan un teléfono rooteado. Indico los pasos con lo que he conseguido instalar pegatinas animadas de terceros:

1.- Asegúrese de tener un explorador de archivos que admita la raíz. Si no tiene mucha idea sobre esto, descargue el * Solid Explorer File Manager * desde Play Store. Ahora, cuando abra la aplicación, concédele acceso de root.
Abra el Administrador de archivos y diríjase a la partición raíz.
Luego vaya a Datos > Datos y navegue a la carpeta com.whatsapp .
Vaya a la carpeta shared_prefs y busque el archivo com.whatsapp_preferences.xml

Ahora agregue las líneas siguientes a ese archivo xml, en cualquier lugar dentro de las etiquetas
<map> 
<boolean name="third_party_animated_sticker" value="true" />
</map> 
En ContentProvider agregar:
    private val ANIMATED_STICKER = "animated_sticker_pack"
    private val STICKER_FILE_ANIMATED = "is_animated_sticker"

private fun getStickerPackInfo(uri: Uri, stickerPackList: List<StickerSet>): Cursor {
   val cursor = MatrixCursor(
            arrayOf(
                STICKER_PACK_IDENTIFIER_IN_QUERY,
                STICKER_PACK_NAME_IN_QUERY,
                STICKER_PACK_PUBLISHER_IN_QUERY,

                AVOID_CACHE,
                ANIMATED_STICKER

            )

            ......................
            ......................
            ......................
            builder.add(stickerPack.isAnimated)
        }
        cursor.setNotificationUri(Objects.requireNonNull(context).contentResolver, uri)
        return cursor
}
private fun getStickersForAStickerPack(uri: Uri): Cursor {
        val identifier = uri.lastPathSegment
        val cursor = MatrixCursor(arrayOf(STICKER_FILE_NAME_IN_QUERY, 
             STICKER_FILE_EMOJI_IN_QUERY, STICKER_FILE_ANIMATED))
        for (stickerSet in stickerPackList()) {
            if (identifier == stickerSet.id.toString()) {
                for (sticker in stickerSet.stickers) {
                    cursor.addRow(arrayOf<Any>(sticker.fileName, sticker.emoji, sticker.isAnimated))
                }
            }
        }
        cursor.setNotificationUri(Objects.requireNonNull(context).contentResolver, uri)
        return cursor
    }
Verificar que cada sticker animado no sea mayor a 300Kb

Please post it as English, preferable language for all.

When is the documentation going to be updated for animated stickers?

Hi Folks, we are figuring out the details on how to support animated stickers. Please stay tuned.

If possible, would you share the file size and frame limits?

Does anyone know any way to convert a sequence of images to animated webp? or convert gif to animated webp? (Android)

louislam · 2020-07-17T04:38:54Z

Does anyone know any way to convert a sequence of images to animated webp? or convert gif to animated webp? (Android)

My online editor is supporting gif to animated webp now, feel free to try.
https://whatsticker.online/create-pack

Also, supports:

Animated telegram stickers (*.tgs) to animated webp
Animated PNG (*.png) to animated webp

You can first make a sticker pack on the platform, upload your gif/png/tgs, and than download the animated webp from my editor. Or if you are lazy to compile your apk, just use my universal app to install the sticker pack:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=online.whatsticker

But remember, as @diegulog said, you need to add <boolean name="third_party_animated_sticker" value="true" /> in the /data/data/com.whatsapp/com.whatsapp_preferences.xml. Rooted Android phone only.

@iwuaizl , just look at the WhatsApp code by unzipping the apk


public static void A1N(File file, C000700k r7, WebpUtils webpUtils) {
    String absolutePath = file.getAbsolutePath();
      if (webpUtils != null) {
            WebpInfo verifyWebpFileIntegrity = WebpUtils.verifyWebpFileIntegrity(absolutePath);
            long length = file.length() / 1024;
            boolean A0S = r7.A0S(C000700k.A2m);
       if (verifyWebpFileIntegrity == null) {
                throw new C73113Td("sticker file might be corrupted or invalid");
            } else if (verifyWebpFileIntegrity.height != 512) {
                throw new C73113Td("sticker height should be 512");
            } else if (verifyWebpFileIntegrity.width == 512) {
                int i = verifyWebpFileIntegrity.numFrames;
                if (i <= 1 || A0S) {
                    long j = (i <= 1 || !A0S) ? 100 : 300;
                    if (length > j) {
                        throw new C73113Td("sticker file should be less than " + j + " kB");
                    }
                    return;

                throw new C73113Td("animated stickers are not supported yet.");

            }
        } else {
            throw null;

the code is obfuscated but easily understood

public static final AnonymousClass02R A2m = A02("third_party_animated_sticker", "third_party_animated_sticker", false);

¿Alguien sabe alguna forma de convertir una secuencia de imágenes a webp animado? o convertir gif a webp animado? (Androide)

Use the library in C libwebp you can create animated webp, and then call the native functions from Java, I tried it but but it takes almost 20 seconds just to generate an animation with about 25 images, I think it's a long time if I want to create a package with 30 stickers

i managed to get something working, but i can only make a working app with 1 sticker that I had previously received (cloned because of 3 stickers minimum)
the stickers i made were less than 300kb, less than 24fps (even one was 15fps), i tried with 3s and 1.5s duration and nothing worked. Also tried with and without alpha channel, i just dont know how to make it work for my own stickers :(

edit: also stickers were 512x512

Hi Guys, we are getting close to have an update. It is impressive what you guys did to figure things out. I would recommend wait until we have official guidelines. Hope we will have news for you in the next 1-2 weeks. Sorry for moving slow, we are a small team.

fukingbus · 2020-07-24T11:23:00Z

will there be any significant changes on stucture/code to make them work?

Why didn't they try to show lottie-type animations since they take up very little space, for example, an animation with 180 frames is barely 20 kb, if instead it passed those animations to webp with a very low quality, it weighs almost 4 Mb. The only option to we have is to remove frames but the animation no longer looks so spectacular. What a pity.

simonzhexu · 2020-07-24T16:28:15Z

Hi We are aware of Lottie. There are a lot of benefits with Lottie. But we have limitations that I would prefer to keep it private. Thanks for suggestion.

devfredoom · 2020-08-02T21:16:33Z

Hi We are aware of Lottie. There are a lot of benefits with Lottie. But we have limitations that I would prefer to keep it private. Thanks for suggestion.

Hello, are you planning to program a new version of the app for animated stickers, or will it be the same application as traditional stickers but which support animated ones? I'll appreciate your answer.

simonzhexu · 2020-08-04T23:40:11Z

We will use this sample app, and expand to allow animated stickers.

Android guidelines and code added, but have not turned on ability to import on WhatsApp side yet, you can develop your apps. Please don't publish your app to apps stores yet as that will create a confusing experience for users. More information will come next week.

Thanks all!

malqerbi · 2021-02-06T01:30:55Z

First Thank you comment ✌️

runnableapps · 2021-02-06T12:06:53Z

Why do you separate sticker packs into animated and static? Users behave differently. Users sort stickers by meaning - "love", "food", etc, not by image type. So probably better to allow mixed sticker packs with static and animated files.

Why do you separate sticker packs into animated and static? Users behave differently. Users sort stickers by meaning - "love", "food", etc, not by image type. So probably better to allow mixed sticker packs with static and animated files.

Wait a few weeks to make suggestions or otherwise we have to wait another 6 months until we are allowed to publish the apps.

Its ok for me to divide animated and static sticker packs, the requirements has been said months ago, also i prepared my apps to be in that way.

The important thing now is to launch the update soon.

Thanks @simonzhexu

The reason of separating animated and static is to avoid confusion. Think of it, a user importing your sticker pack, they see some animated sticker and some static stickers, in the sticker picker. What would they think? They have no idea what is the expectation here. Is WhatsApp broken that it only animates some of the stickers and not others, or is this sticker pack broken that some stickers don't animate. I suggest you give consistency to your sticker packs as well.

Now that's some nice thinking😉

Update: Please check this wiki for roll out plan: https://github.com/WhatsApp/stickers/wiki/Animated-Stickers

Hey @simonzhexu, could you activate the Discussion section on this Repo?

devfredoom · 2021-02-08T22:18:02Z

Update: Please check this wiki for roll out plan: https://github.com/WhatsApp/stickers/wiki/Animated-Stickers

Congratulations! I only have one doubt, the implementation for the rest of the countries will take place shortly? How long will the first stage last? Thank you!

Hey @simonzhexu, could you activate the Discussion section in this Repo?

@alex193a could you explain the benefit of discussion?

Right now, the things I need is announcement, which will reach people who have folked the repo.

We are expecting the rest of the countries to take place within 2-4 weeks after the first roll out.

joshuaalexa · 2021-02-09T01:32:16Z

ok then what remains to be updated

usakha123 · 2021-02-09T01:38:13Z

@simonzhexu How long will take for our WhatsApp numbers to be approved for testing?

simonzhexu · 2021-02-09T21:57:58Z

I am adding them every morning. You would expect 1 day after I add them. So at most the lag will be 2 days.

MarsVard · 2021-02-10T06:28:39Z

@simonzhexu Will there be a notification or email to confirm it got enabled for my phone number?

devfredoom · 2021-02-10T15:32:24Z

Today I just received an email. Confirming that they have added my number to the tests of the animated stickers.

@simonzhexu Because the topics we have covered in these months in this Issue could have been useful to other developers but being a closed Issue, it probably reached fewer people than a discussion in the appropriate section could have done.

The discussions section could be useful to discuss other topics (always related to stickers). In my opinion it is a good idea to enable it 🤷🏻‍♂️

@simonzhexu I have been added, but I get an error in the app "Does not support animated stickers".

Do you have to have the beta version for it to work?

@devfredoom , there may be some hiccups with the phone number format, please reply to my email and send your phone number with country code please.

Thanks.
I just sent the email with the international number format.

devlocs · 2021-02-16T17:46:07Z

Has anyone using ios already had their number enabled?

simonzhexu · 2021-02-16T20:36:00Z

We moved the launch date of Brazil, Indonesia, Iran to March 1st. Wiki has been updated.

JeremyR34 · 2021-02-25T11:46:31Z

Is there any recommendations / guidelines to check if the user has a WhatsApp version that is compatible with animated stickers upfront?

simonzhexu · 2021-02-26T00:15:40Z

For Android, it will be available to users in Brazil, Iran and Indonesia for versions 2.21.3.19 and above.
For iOS, it will be available to users in above countries for versions 2.21.31.2

If you have a way to get the version number of WhatsApp, that could help filter out some.
