Design and Refactoring of a Multimedia Editing Module

Multimedia Editing Module Refactoring Overview

The multimedia editing module supports image and video editing operations such as adding stickers, doodles, or music, and is designed as a platform‑agnostic architecture that emphasizes componentized UI panels, a gesture engine, and business logic decoupling.

Componentized Overall Design

After defining the module’s core as a UI operation panel, the design starts from the view hierarchy, establishing clear responsibilities for each layer and handling touch event propagation. A UML diagram is created to enforce strict coding standards, eliminate coupling, and separate editing components from the EditView.

Gesture Recognition Engine

The gesture engine provides a unified interface while remaining decoupled from specific view elements. Views that need to respond to gestures inherit InteractionElementView or use it as a parentView. Configurable element objects define gesture rules, achieving zero coupling. Detailed hit‑testing methods are described in a linked article.

Component Design

Component and Elements

Each component defines a baseZIndex that serves as the base for the element’s zIndex. An element container maintains a nextZIndexOfElement counter that increments on each request, so the final zIndex equals baseZIndex + nextZIndexOfElement. This allows elements to move between element and component containers while preserving correct stacking order.

Component and EditView

Components are not required to add elements to MultimediaEditView 's container; they may operate directly on media resources (e.g., applying filters) or perform other tasks such as saving media locally. MultimediaEditView merely provides an entry point, while components extend its functionality.

Component and Data

Every component has a unique ID (defaulting to its class name). When a component’s button is clicked, it becomes currentEditComponent. The MultimediaEditView calls the previous component’s stop method and the new component’s start method. The start / stop methods handle loading and unloading of component content. User data generated by components is stored in componentInfos for later use (e.g., publishing). The reset method clears component data, state, and elements. Subclasses of MultimediaEditComponent must override these core methods.

Business Integration

Business code typically subclasses MultimediaEditView to inject custom logic and registers components within its view controller. If a specific business requires customized component behavior, it is advisable to further subclass the component. Centralizing component behavior in a base class reduces the risk of unintended side effects across multiple business modules.
