Twilio Client Android SDK Changes

Changelog

1.2.21 (Oct. 27, 2017)

Bug Fixes

• CLIENT-4104 Upgraded to Android Oreo from Nougat. Android CLIENT SDK runs TwilioClientService in the background. With Android 8.0 (API level 26) release, startService() method throws an IllegalStateException if an app is targeting Android 8.0. CLIENT-4104 fixes this crash.

Known Issues

• SDK versions prior to 1.2.21 will crash with an IllegalStateException when attempting to run context.startService() in the background if the app targets Android 26/Android 8.0 or above. For details on Android 8.0 behavior changes related to this issue, you can reference the section "Background execution limits" at https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/android-8.0-changes.html.

1.2.20 (May. 15, 2017)

Bug Fixes

• CLIENT-3545 - Changed default SIP port to 10194 from 5061. Sunset support of armeabi.

1.2.19 (Nov. 21, 2016)

Bug Fixes

• CLIENT-3074 - Fixed a ConcurrentModificationException that was thrown when calling Twilio.shutdown() with multiple devices.

1.2.18 (Sep. 8, 2016)

Bug Fixes

• CLIENT-2881 - Fixed an error where CallSid would be null when the Connection.onConnected callback was received for an outgoing call.

1.2.17 (Aug. 4, 2016)

Bug Fixes

• CLIENT-2794 - Fixed JNI ClassLoader issues for runtime exceptions.

1.2.16 (July 20, 2016)

Bug Fixes

• CLIENT-2676 - Fixed an error where the log level would be incorrectly set if Twilio.setLogLevel() was called before the SDK was initialized.
• CLIENT-2719 - Fixed an error where Device.OnStartListening would be invoked while the Device.State was OFFLINE.
• CLIENT-1075 - Fixed a crash on a Connection disconnect indicating that the callSID is null.

1.2.15 (July 8, 2016)

Bug Fixes

• CLIENT-2675 - Client 1.2.15 no longer uses private symbols and is fully supported on Android N. Prior versions of Client on Android dynamically linked against private symbols. This behavior is no longer allowed on Android N, and will cause a UnsatisfiedLinkError exception at runtime for your application.

Documentation on Android N Private Symbol Restrictions: here

• CLIENT-2573 - AudioManager needs to be in AudioManager.MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION mode to avoid audio distortion when using speaker mode. This occurs on newer devices running Android Marshmallow and up. You must apply this change to the AudioManager in your application.

Example implementation using our Client quickstart: here

1.2.14 (June 16, 2016)

New Features

• CLIENT-2269 - The Client SDK is now distributed as an .aar via jCenter. Support for .jar and an unpacked binary have been deprecated.

  }
}

dependencies {
  compile 'com.twilio:client-android:1.2.14'
}

1.2.13 (May 13, 2016)

1.2.9 (Feb. 25, 2016)

New Features

• Twilio now packages libtwilio-native.so for every supported architecture within twilioclient-android.jar:

• Android Studio users: Remove all libtwilio-native.so libraries from your project and replace the existing twilioclient-android.jar with the new combined twilioclient-android.jar file.

• Eclipse users: an uncombined version of the libtwilio-native.so and twilioclient-android.jar has been provided in the eclipse directory. Be sure to replace both the libtwilio-native.so libraries and twilioclient-android.jar file in your existing Eclipse project.

Bug Fixes

• Note: CLIENT-1938 fix invalidates CLIENT-1903 fix provided in 1.2.5.

Support for Twilio’s Global Low Latency Routing

Twilio Client for Android now takes advantage of Twilio’s Global Low Latency (GLL) routing to further improve call quality. Media for all Twilio Client calls is routed to the Twilio data center geographically nearest to the user, significantly reducing call latency.

Richer Debug Logging

We’ve made it easier to find and resolve issues in your Twilio Client Android application with detailed logging with a simple API call.

Twilio.setLogLevel(int level);

The level parameter values correspond to the levels provided by the Android SDK : Log.ASSERT,Log.DEBUG, Log.ERROR, Log.INFO, Log.VERBOSE,Log.WARN.

System Requirements

The SDK requires Android API level 9 and above. The SDK supports x86, armeabi-v7a, x86_64, and arm64-v8a architectures.
