Release Notes - Android SDK

See how the Sinch In-app Voice and Video SDK for Android is evolving and find out about new features and bug fixes.

4.11.16

• Upgrade gradle build tools versions of samples.

4.11.14

• Fix issue that prevented user that did not start Sinch client for over a year authenticating on Sinch backend.

4.11.3

• Fix screenshot and filter video sample applications threading issues.

4.10.18

• Update WebRTC to M96.

4.9.21

• Refactor AudioController.enableAutomaticAudioRouting() to accept AudioController.AudioRoutingConfig parameter.
• Fix potential crash in the JNI layer that could happen if null-body reply is unexpectedly returned from the backend.

4.8.6

• Add android:exported attribute to the internal service manifest in conformance with new Android S+ rules (Android 12).

4.7.3

• Fix crash on Huawei devices that support Google Play Services when Huawei HMS Messaging is used.

4.6.8

• Fix crash in the AudioManagerInternal caused by unregistering of not-yet-registered Wired Headset Receiver.

4.5.8

• Stop storing Sinch FCM token in SharedPreferences. Sometimes when the new FCM token is acquired, if update of the SharedPreferences fails/slow - the old FCM token is sent again to the Sinch backend.

4.4.5

• Removed SinchClient.setMediaHandover(boolean) , SinchClientBuilder.enableMediaHandover(boolean) , and Call.setMediaHandover() . Media handover and reconnection behaviour is now handled internally.

4.3.9

• Check CAMERA permission before video capture starts to avoid crash in case the user revoked permission. If not granted - black video. If granted during the call, video can be resumed with call to Call.resumeVideo() . The responsibility to ensure that CAMERA permission is granted lies on the application.
• Fixed crash when setting video frame listeners during audio-only call.
• Removed Beta.setMediaHandoverConfig(SinchClient client, MediaHandoverConfig config) and MediaHandoverConfig class as a whole. Media handover behaviour is now handled internally.

4.2.5

• Fixed memory leak in LocalVideoFrameListener and RemoteVideoFrameListener implementations.

4.1.4

• Switch to new release tools and process.

4.0.7

• Fixed crash in SinchClient when the client is terminated during incoming call processing.
• Added VideoController setLocalVideoResizeBehaviour() to allow full-screen local video experience.

4.0.6

• Failure of internal database initialization at SinchClient/UserController creation time will now cause IOException, instead of failing silently.
• Fixed rare crash in SinchClient that happened during 'fast' start after graceful termination.
• Updated sample application with SinchClient lifecycle management comments.

4.0.5

• Aligned SinchClient registration experience with UserController's one by extending SinchClientListener interface and providing a way to register a user with the HMS Push Token via SinchClient by adding Huawei HMS specific methods to SinchClientBuilder:
  • hmsDeviceToken(String deviceToken);
  • hmsApplicationId(String applicationId);
• Extended SinchClientListener interface by both UserRegistrationCallback and PushTokenRegistrationCallback interfaces.
• Removed SinchClientListener.onRegistrationCredentialsRequired(SinchClient client, ClientRegistration registrationCallback) in favor of inherited UserRegistrationCallback.onCredentialsRequired(ClientRegistration registrationCallback).
• Renamed PushTokenRegistrationCallback methods to follow the same naming pattern:
  • tokenRegistered() -> onPushTokenRegistered()
  • tokenRegistrationFailed(...) -> onPushTokenRegistrationFailed(...)
• Removed deprecated SinchClient's stop() and unregisterPushProfile() APIs.

4.0.4

• Removed MissingFCMException.
• Added SinchHelper methods to check availability of the Google FCM or Huawei HMS services.

4.0.3

• Moved from deprecated appcompat to AndroidX.

4.0.2

• Fixed potential crash in logging when receiving weird-looking media streams.

4.0.1

• Added support specifying/modifying call headers via ICE callback response.

4.0.0

• Sinch environment host changed to ocra.api.sinch.com
• Removed support for legacy push data ( SinchClient.registerPushNotificationData() ).
• Removed ErrorType.CAPABILITY , ErrorType.OTHER . Added ErrorType.GENERIC .
• Removed deprecated SinchClient.stop() (and SinchClientListener.onClientStopped() ). Use SinchClient.terminateGracefully() instead.
• CallDetails getStartedTime() , getEstablishedTime() and getEndedTime() return java.util.Date instead of long.
• AudioController has new APIs: isMute() and isSpeakerOn() .
• Fixed AudioController bug that change microphone state when disengaging Automatic Audio Routing.
