In-App Chat SDK Android Version 1.3.30 Release

November 26, 2024

Announce: May 17, 2021

Hi there, Good news! We have made some improvements in chat SDK Android. Below is the list of changes:

Support android 10 & 11 for fix issue can't download or upload a file attachment
Remove request manage external storage in manifest
Migrate the chat-core library from Bintray to Artifactory

If you use feature compress image, please update your code, for example:

public static File compressImage(File imageFile) {

 FileOutputStream out = null;
 String filename = "";
 int androidVersion = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
 if (androidVersion >= 29) {
    filename = QiscusFileUtil.generateFilePath(imageFile.getName(), ".jpg", Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
 } else {
    filename = QiscusFileUtil.generateFilePath(imageFile.getName(), ".jpg");
 }

  try {
  out = new FileOutputStream(filename);
  //write the compressed bitmap at the destination specified by filename.
  QiscusImageUtil.getScaledBitmap(Uri.fromFile(imageFile)).compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG,
  QiscusCore.getChatConfig().getQiscusImageCompressionConfig().getQuality(), out);
  } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
  } finally {
    try {
     if (out != null) {
       out.close();
     }
   } catch (IOException ignored) {
     //Do nothing
   }
  }

 File compressedImage = new File(filename);
 QiscusFileUtil.notifySystem(compressedImage);

 return compressedImage;
}

To integrate your app with Qiscus, it can be done in 2 (two) steps. First, you need to add URL references in your .gradle project. This reference is a guide for .gradle to get Qiscus Chat SDK from the right repository. Below is how to do that:

allprojects {
  repositories {
    maven {
      url “https://artifactory.qiscus.com/artifactory/qiscus-library-open-source”
    }
  }
}

Second, you need to add SDK dependencies inside your app .gradle. Then, you need to synchronize to compile the Qiscus Chat SDK for your app.

dependencies {
   implementation ‘com.qiscus.sdk:chat-core:1.3.30’
}

You can see our sample for an update this migration in this link :
