Kotlin Integration

Kotlin Android Integration

Use Kotlin and OkHttp to upload images and remove backgrounds directly inside Android applications using AI-powered processing.

Add OkHttp Dependency

Add the OkHttp library inside your Gradle dependencies before making API requests.

implementation(
"com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:4.12.0"
)

Import Required Classes

Import OkHttp and File classes before creating multipart upload requests.

import okhttp3.*
import java.io.File

Kotlin Upload Example

Upload images and receive transparent PNG results using Kotlin and OkHttp multipart requests.

val client = OkHttpClient()

val file =
File("/storage/image.jpg")

val requestBody =
MultipartBody.Builder()
.setType(MultipartBody.FORM)

.addFormDataPart(

    "file",

    file.name,

    file.asRequestBody(
        "image/jpeg"
        .toMediaType()
    )

)

.build()

val request = Request.Builder()

.url(
"https://api.bybybg.com/v1/remove-bg"
)

.addHeader(
"X-API-Key",
"YOUR_API_KEY"
)

.post(requestBody)

.build()

client.newCall(request)
.enqueue(object : Callback {

    override fun onFailure(
        call: Call,
        e: IOException
    ) {

        println("Failed")

    }

    override fun onResponse(
        call: Call,
        response: Response
    ) {

        if(response.isSuccessful){

            println(
            "Background removed"
            )

        }else{

            println(
            "Error: ${response.code}"
            )

        }
    }
})

Recommended Android Features

Recommended Practices

• Compress images before uploading.
• Validate supported image formats.
• Handle connection failures and retries.
• Never expose private API keys publicly.
• Use backend APIs in production environments.
