• Programmable Voice Android SDK 6.7.0 [Maven Central], [docs] MD5 Checksum : 201a7c51ff2644b7558f97601972009d

• New API Voice.runPreflight(@NonNull final Context context, @NonNull final String accessToken, @NonNull final PreflightTest.Listener listener) to run a preflight test is added.
• A new class PreflightOptions is added. A const reference to this class type needs to be passed as the first argument to the runPreflight() method. An instance of this class can be constructed using the PreflightOptions.Builder. Setting the accessToken to run preflight test is mandatory. Following are the optional APIs for the PreflightOptions.Builder class.

1
    Builder setIceOptions(@NonNull IceOptions iceOptions);
2
    Builder setPreferredAudioCodecs(@NonNull List<AudioCodec> preferredAudioCodecs);

The API documentation for the above-mentioned methods can be found in the PreflightOptions.Builder class.

• A new PreflightTest.Listener interface is added. It needs to be provided as the third argument to the runPreflight() method. This interface provides the callbacks for the PreflightTest. Implement the following callbacks to receive callbacks during the preflight test and to receive the PreflightReport when the test is completed. The report is a JSONObject containing the details of its findings.

1
  void onPreflightCompleted(@NonNull final PreflightTest preflightTest, @NonNull final JSONObject report);
2
  void onPreflightFailed(@NonNull final PreflightTest preflightTest, @NonNull final CallException error);
3
  void onPreflightConnected(final PreflightTest preflightTest);
4
  void onPreflightWarning(@NonNull final PreflightTest preflightTest,
5
                          @NonNull final Set<Call.CallQualityWarning> currentWarnings,
6
                          @NonNull final Set<Call.CallQualityWarning> previousWarnings);
7
  void onPreflightSample(@NonNull final PreflightTest preflightTest, @NonNull final JSONObject sample);

The API documentation for the above-mentioned methods can be found in the PreflightTest.Listener interface.

• Voice.runPreflight() method returns a PreflightTest object. Following APIs can be used to access different properties of underlying Call and PreflightTest object.

1
  void stop();
2
  String getCallSid();
3
  long getStartTime();
4
  long getEndTime();
5
  JSONObject getLatestSample();
6
  JSONObject getReport();
7
  PreflightTest.State getState();

Please note stop() method can be used to prematurely disconnect a PreflightTest resulting in a failure. Please refer to the API documentation of the PreflightTest class for more details.

• The SDK now supports sending and receiving in-call user-defined messages. Use the Call::sendMessage(...) method to send messages. Endpoints subscribed to the events of the call will be receiving the messages. The CallMessageInterface::onReceiveMessage(...) callback will be raised to the application when a message is received by the client. Please visit this page for more details about this feature. Additionally, please see the following for more information on how to send and receive messages on the server. This feature is currently in Beta. Example below.

• Programmable Voice Android SDK 6.3.0[Maven Central], [docs] MD5 Checksum : a2e5f997dbf3c6b0e6b1a169e2cbf79d

• Provides a LoggerInterface interface. This interface contains a log method that is invoked with a LogParameters object every time a log message becomes available. The LogParameters object contains all the information relevant to the log message being delivered.
• The Android SDK internally implements the LoggerInterface to provide default logging capabilities to stdout using android.util.Log.
• Provides a Voice.SetLogger(LoggerInterface) method that allows setting a custom logger that conforms to LoggerInterface to which log messages will be delivered.
• Provides a Voice.GetLogger() method that returns the logger that was previously set with setLogger. If no custom logger was set, this method returns the default logger currently used by the SDK.
• Users can send their messages to be logged by the SDK using Voice.GetLogger().log(LogParameters). This logs the message using the SDK's default logger.
• Users can also implement custom loggers that conform to LoggerInterface to customize the logging mechanism, for eg., logging to a file, sending the logs to a server, etc.
• The existing Logger class is deprecated and will be removed in the next major version release.

• Starting with SDK version 6.3.0, the required Android SDK version is 24 not 21. This issue is fixed as of SDK version 6.6.2.

• Programmable Voice Android SDK 6.1.0[Maven Central], [docs] MD5 Checksum : 164b77f552b7a2a9c8c40ace9b30077f

• The Voice Android SDK now supports Twilio Regional by providing the home region specifier in the access token header when calling the Voice.register() method, the Voice.unregister() method, or the Voice.connect() method.

Existing customers can now migrate their Voice use-cases to data centers in Ireland or Australia to establish data residency within the region. In addition, new customers may now select Ireland or Australia as their region of choice for Voice related use cases. There is no additional cost to use the new data centers in Ireland or Australia. To learn more about Regional Voice, check out our blog post or head over to our developer docs to get started.

Below is an example of specifying home region in the access token using the Twilio Node.js helper library:

1
const accessToken = new twilio.jwt.AccessToken(
2
    credentials.accountSid,
3
    credentials.apiKeySid,
4
    credentials.apiKeySecret, {
5
      identity,
6
      ttl,
7
      region: 'au1',
8
    },
9
  );

The decoded header of your access token should look like this:

1
{
2
  "alg": "HS256",
3
  "typ": "JWT",
4
  "cty": "twilio-fpa;v=1",
5
  "twr": "au1"
6
}

• A CallerInfo object is introduced to represent information about the caller. Currently, this information is limited to SHAKEN/STIR status of incoming PSTN Calls, but may later be expanded to include CNAM, and other endpoint types. isVerified attribute represents whether or not the caller's phone number has been verified by Twilio using SHAKEN/STIR validation. The value of this attribute is true if the caller has been validated at 'A' level, false if the caller has been verified at any lower level or has failed validation. If SHAKEN/STIR information is unavailable for the caller or stir status value is null, the value of this attribute will be null.
• CallInvite class includes getCallerInfo(..) method that returns the CallerInfo of the caller.

For details on how Twilio uses SHAKEN/STIR to make trusted calls and protect against unlawful spoofing, please visit /docs/voice/trusted-calling-using-shakenstir.

• Fixed crash bugs during teardown of a Call.

• Programmable Voice Android SDK 5.3.0 [bintray], [docs]

• A new Call.Listener callback onCallQualityWarningsChanged() is introduced.

1
void onCallQualityWarningsChanged(Call call,
2
                                  Set<CallQualityWarning> currentWarnings,
3
                                  Set<CallQualityWarning> previousWarnings);

The Set that contain the warnings are consisted of enum with values of the newly introduced CallQualityWarning

1
public enum CallQualityWarning {
2
    WARN_HIGH_RTT("high-rtt"),
3
    WARN_HIGH_JITTER("high-jitter"),
4
    WARN_HIGH_PACKET_LOSS("high-packet-loss"),
5
    WARN_LOW_MOS("low-mos"),
6
    WARN_CONSTANT_AUDIO_IN_LEVEL("constant-audio-input-level"),
7
}

The trigger conditions for the warnings defined in the enumeration are defined as follows:

• WARN_HIGH_RTT - Round Trip Time (RTT) > 400 ms for 3 out of last 5 samples.
• WARN_HIGH_JITTER - Jitter > 30 ms for 3 out of last 5 samples.
• WARN_HIGH_PACKET_LOSS - Raised when average packet loss > 3% in last 7 samples. Cleared when average packet loss <= 1% in last 7 samples.
• WARN_LOW_MOS - Mean Opinion Score (MOS) < 3.5 for 3 out of last 5 samples.
• WARN_CONSTANT_AUDIO_IN_LEVEL - Raised when the standard deviation of audio input levels for last 10 samples is less than or equals 1% of the maximum possible audio input level (32767) i.e. 327.67 and the call is not in the muted state and the call is not on hold. Cleared when the standard deviation of audio input levels for last 10 samples is greater than 3% of the maximum possible audio input level.
• A new method getCallQualityWarnings() is added to Call to retrieve the present set of call quality related warnings.
• This release also adds the Mean Opinion Score (MOS) measurement mos to RemoteAudioTrackStats. Use Call.getStats() API during a call to retrieve the score. The mos is computed once per second. Since the MOS is calculated from network performance measurements, it can be used to indicate the current network condition to the user to provide better usability. See API Docs for more information.

Example:

1
call.getStats(new StatsListener() {
2
    @Override
3
    public void onStats(@NonNull List<StatsReport> statsReports) {
4
        for (StatsReport statsReport : statsReports) {
5
            List<RemoteAudioTrackStats> remoteAudioStatsList = statsReport.getRemoteAudioTrackStats();
6
            for (RemoteAudioTrackStats remoteAudioStats : remoteAudioStatsList) {
7
                float mos = remoteAudioStats.mos;
8
            }
9
        }
10
    }
11
});

• This release includes support for the expansion of Twilio's Global Infrastructure via Edge Locations which allows customers to control their connectivity into and out of Twilio's platform. The Voice Android SDK uses these Edges to connect to Twilio's infrastructure via the new property Voice.edge. This new property supersedes the now deprecated Voice.region. See the new Edge names and how they map to the old region names.

Here is an example:

1
// Connect using global low latency
2
Voice.setEdge("roaming")

Below are the new methods signatures introduced in Voice class.

1
@NonNull public static String getEdge();
2
public static void setEdge(@NonNull String edge)

The following APIs have been deprecated in favor of the new methods.

1
@NonNull public static String getRegion();
2
public static void setRegion(@NonNull String region)

• Added a Boolean property enableIceGatheringOnAnyAddressPorts in CallOptions that allows gathering of ICE candidates from "any address" ports. This allows applications to work in certain VPN environments.

Reference the following code snippet to enable or disable this feature. Note, enableIceGatheringOnAnyAddressPorts is disabled by default.

Configure enableIceGatheringOnAnyAddressPorts with ConnectOptions

1
ConnectOptions connectOptions = new ConnectOptions.Builder(accessToken)
2
        .enableIceGatheringOnAnyAddressPorts(iceGatheringOnAnyAddressPorts)
3
        .build();
4
Voice.connect(context, connectOptions, callListener);

Configure enableIceGatheringOnAnyAddressPorts with AcceptOptions

1
AcceptOptions acceptOptions = new AcceptOptions.Builder()
2
        .enableIceGatheringOnAnyAddressPorts(iceGatheringOnAnyAddressPorts)
3
        .build();
4
callInvite.accept(context, acceptOptions, callListener);

• By default ICE gathering is done on all interfaces except some VPN type interfaces. This makes it impossible to connect to Twilio in networks that require the use of VPN. In this release, the new Boolean property enableIceGatheringOnAnyAddressPorts in CallOptions allows the gathering of ICE candidates from all available interfaces. This should be used in those networks where the default does not work. See AcceptOptions.Builder.enableIceGatheringOnAnyAddressPorts or ConnectOptions.Builder.enableIceGatheringOnAnyAddressPorts for more information.

• Voice.setRegion(..) API disallows to use non default values.
• Restrictive networks may fail unless ICE servers are provided via ConnectOptions.Builder.iceOptions(...) or AcceptOptions.Builder.iceOptions(...). ICE servers can be obtained from Twilio Network Traversal Service.
• Occasional native crash in AsyncTask of registration/unregistration and event publishing. The crash has only been observed on API 18 devices and results from a thread safety bug in Android. Similar crashes have been reported in the popular networking library OkHttp #1520 #1338. If this bug is impacting your applications, please open an issue on our quickstart and we will investigate potential fixes.

• Releases prior to 6.6.3 do not support Android 15 with 16k pages.
