Roblox Integration Example
A focused example showing how to integrate Cirvia Parental monitoring into a Roblox-style game with chat, custom objects, and image uploads.
Key Integration Points​
Monitor these Roblox-specific features:
- Game chat messages
- Custom decal uploads
- Player usernames
- Game object names
- Private messages
Basic Setup​
RobloxGameMonitor.java​
public class RobloxGameMonitor {
private static final String PLATFORM = "roblox";
// Monitor public chat
public void onPlayerChat(String playerId, String message) {
ParentalAI.sendTextIncident(PLATFORM + "-chat", message);
displayChatMessage(playerId, message);
}
// Monitor private messages
public void onPrivateMessage(String senderId, String recipientId, String message) {
ParentalAI.sendTextIncident(PLATFORM + "-private", message);
deliverPrivateMessage(senderId, recipientId, message);
}
// Monitor custom decals/images
public void onDecalUploaded(Bitmap decalImage, String uploaderId) {
new Thread(() -> {
try {
String base64 = ImageEncoder.encodeImageToBase64(decalImage);
ParentalAI.sendImageIncident(PLATFORM + "-decal", base64);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("RobloxMonitor", "Failed to monitor decal", e);
}
}).start();
processDecalUpload(decalImage, uploaderId);
}
// Monitor game object names
public void onObjectCreated(String objectName, String creatorId) {
if (objectName != null && !objectName.trim().isEmpty()) {
ParentalAI.sendTextIncident(PLATFORM + "-object", objectName);
}
createGameObject(objectName, creatorId);
}
// Monitor player usernames when joining
public void onPlayerJoined(String username, String playerId) {
ParentalAI.sendTextIncident(PLATFORM + "-username", username);
addPlayerToServer(username, playerId);
}
}
Chat System Integration​
ChatManager.java​
public class ChatManager {
private final RobloxGameMonitor monitor;
private final EditText chatInput;
private final RecyclerView chatRecyclerView;
public ChatManager(Context context) {
monitor = new RobloxGameMonitor();
setupChatUI(context);
}
private void setupChatUI(Context context) {
chatInput = findViewById(R.id.chat_input);
Button sendButton = findViewById(R.id.send_button);
sendButton.setOnClickListener(v -> {
String message = chatInput.getText().toString().trim();
if (!message.isEmpty()) {
// Monitor then send
monitor.onPlayerChat(getCurrentPlayerId(), message);
chatInput.setText("");
}
});
}
// Handle incoming messages from other players
public void receiveMessage(String playerId, String message) {
// Monitor received messages too
monitor.onPlayerChat(playerId, message);
}
}
Custom Content Creation​
DecalUploader.java​
public class DecalUploader {
private final RobloxGameMonitor monitor = new RobloxGameMonitor();
public void uploadCustomDecal() {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_IMAGE_PICK);
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_PICK && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Uri imageUri = data.getData();
try {
Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(), imageUri);
monitor.onDecalUploaded(bitmap, getCurrentPlayerId());
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Failed to upload decal", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
}
Game Object Monitoring​
ObjectCreator.java​
public class ObjectCreator {
private final RobloxGameMonitor monitor = new RobloxGameMonitor();
public void showObjectCreationDialog() {
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
EditText nameInput = new EditText(this);
nameInput.setHint("Object name");
builder.setView(nameInput)
.setTitle("Create Object")
.setPositiveButton("Create", (dialog, which) -> {
String objectName = nameInput.getText().toString();
monitor.onObjectCreated(objectName, getCurrentPlayerId());
})
.setNegativeButton("Cancel", null)
.show();
}
}
Player Management​
PlayerManager.java​
public class PlayerManager {
private final RobloxGameMonitor monitor = new RobloxGameMonitor();
private final List<Player> activePlayers = new ArrayList<>();
public void handlePlayerJoin(String username, String playerId) {
// Monitor username
monitor.onPlayerJoined(username, playerId);
// Add to active players
Player player = new Player(playerId, username);
activePlayers.add(player);
// Update UI
updatePlayerList();
}
public void sendPrivateMessage(String recipientId, String message) {
monitor.onPrivateMessage(getCurrentPlayerId(), recipientId, message);
// Send through game network
sendNetworkMessage(recipientId, message);
}
}
Error Handling​
RobloxErrorHandler.java​
public class RobloxErrorHandler {
public static void handleMonitoringError(Exception error, String content, String context) {
Log.e("RobloxMonitor", "Monitoring failed for " + context, error);
if (error instanceof IllegalStateException) {
// SDK not ready - show user-friendly message
showRetryDialog(content, context);
} else {
// Other errors - continue game functionality
Log.w("RobloxMonitor", "Continuing without monitoring for: " + context);
}
}
private static void showRetryDialog(String content, String context) {
// Simple retry mechanism
new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed(() -> {
try {
ParentalAI.sendTextIncident("roblox-" + context, content);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("RobloxMonitor", "Retry failed", e);
}
}, 2000);
}
}
Configuration​
RobloxConfig.java​
public class RobloxConfig {
public static final String PLATFORM_PREFIX = "roblox";
// Platform-specific content types
public static final String CHAT = PLATFORM_PREFIX + "-chat";
public static final String PRIVATE_MSG = PLATFORM_PREFIX + "-private";
public static final String DECAL = PLATFORM_PREFIX + "-decal";
public static final String OBJECT_NAME = PLATFORM_PREFIX + "-object";
public static final String USERNAME = PLATFORM_PREFIX + "-username";
public static boolean isMonitoringEnabled(String contentType) {
SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences("roblox_monitoring", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
return prefs.getBoolean(contentType + "_enabled", true);
}
}
Integration Testing​
RobloxMonitorTest.java​
@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
public class RobloxMonitorTest {
@Test
public void testChatMonitoring() {
RobloxGameMonitor monitor = new RobloxGameMonitor();
// Test normal chat
monitor.onPlayerChat("player123", "Hello everyone!");
// Test potentially concerning content
monitor.onPlayerChat("player456", "What's your address?");
// Verify no crashes occur
assertTrue("Monitoring should complete without errors", true);
}
@Test
public void testPrivateMessageMonitoring() {
RobloxGameMonitor monitor = new RobloxGameMonitor();
monitor.onPrivateMessage("sender123", "recipient456", "Private message content");
// Should handle gracefully
assertTrue("Private message monitoring works", true);
}
}
Best Practices​
1. Monitor Key Interactions​
- Chat messages (highest priority)
- Private communications
- User-generated content names
- Custom images/decals
2. Performance Tips​
- Process images on background threads
- Use platform-specific identifiers
- Handle errors without breaking gameplay
3. User Experience​
- Don't block game interactions for monitoring
- Show subtle feedback when appropriate
- Maintain smooth gameplay performance

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- Game View -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/game_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

<!-- Chat Panel -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="8dp">
<EditText
android:id="@+id/chat_input"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:hint="Type message..." />
<Button
android:id="@+id/send_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Send" />
