This only works automatically on Android >= 8. On other platforms / versions, it
relies on the SDK user on implementing a "reduced UI" mode and reacting to the
"request PIP" delegate method.
We started on the way to responsive UI and its design with aspect ratio
and keeping the filmstrip on the short side of the app's visible
rectangle.
Shortly, we're going to introduce reduced UI for Picture-in-Picture. And
that's where we'll need another dimensions-based detector akin to the
aspect ratio detector.
While the AspectRatioDetector, the up-and-coming ReducedUIDetector, and
their base DimensionsDetector are definitely separate abstractions and
implementations not mixed for the purposes of easy extensibility and
maintenance, the three of them are our building blocks on top of which
we'll build our responsive UI.
They will be stored in redux and the PageReloadOverlay will be displayed.
Note that this commit also introduces a subtle (and yet important!) change:
the location URL is now always set, regardless of the configuration loading or
not. This is needed in order for the retry logic to pick it up.
feat(overlays): render overlays outside of Conference
On web Conference is pretty much all there is, but on mobile we have the welcome
page and the blank page. If we fail to load config.js, for example we will still
be in the welcome page *and* we want to show an error overlay.
Adds the ability to detect app area's aspect ratio on react-native
through the features/base/aspect-ratio.
Makes conference, filmstrip and toolbox react to the aspect ratio
changes and display filmstrip on the shorter side of the screen.
ESLint 4.8.0 discovers a lot of error related to formatting. While I
tried to fix as many of them as possible, a portion of them actually go
against our coding style. In such a case, I've disabled the indent rule
which effectively leaves it as it was before ESLint 4.8.0.
Additionally, remove jshint because it's becoming a nuisance with its
lack of understanding of ES2015+.
* Javadoc introduced @code as a replacement of <code> and <tt> which is
better aligned with other javadoc tags such as @link. Use it in the
Java source code. If we switch to Kotlin, then we'll definitely use
Markdown.
* There are more uses of @code in the JavaScript source code than <tt>
so use @code for the sake of consistency. Eventually, I'd rather we
switch to Markdown because it's easier on my eyes.
* Xcode is plain confused by @code and @link. The Internet says that
Xcode supports the backquote character to denote the beginning and end
of a string of characters which should be formatted for display as
code but it doesn't work for me. <tt> is not rendered at all. So use
the backquote which is rendered itself. Hopefully, if we switch to
Markdown, then it'll be common between JavaScript and Objective-C
source code.
This commit adds initial support for CallKit on supported platforms: iOS >= 10.
Since the call flow in Jitsi Meet is basically making outgoing calls, only
outgoing call support is currently handled via CallKit.
Features:
- "Green bar" when in a call.
- Native CallKit view when tapping on the call label on the lock screen.
- Support for audio muting from the native CallKit view.
- Support for recent calls (audio-only calls logged as Audio calls, others show
as Video calls).
- Call display name is room name.
- Graceful downgrade on systems without CallKit support.
Limitations:
- Native CallKit view cannot be shown for audio-only calls (this is a CallKit
limitaion).
- The video button in the CallKit view will start a new video call to the same
room, and terminate the previous one.
- No support for call hold.
The error is stored in the redux store in base/config so other components can
consult it. It is also broadcasted as a new event in the external API for the
SDK.
This only helps iff there is a short transient network error which prevents the
configuration from being loaded. In such case, use the cached version in
localStorage, which may not match the shard, but it's (probably!) better than
nothing.
In case there is no Internet connectivity, an error will be produced as soon as
the XMPP connection is attempted anyway.
This patch loads the config later than we used to, that is, only once we
know the room the user is about to join.
Due to architectural limitations in lib-jitsi-meet, it needs to be
initialized with a configuration in order to properly function. This is
unfortunate because we need to create a video track in the welcome page,
but don't know the room (hence no config) yet. In order to circumvent
this problem an empty configuration is used, which is later swapped with
the appropriate one, once loaded.
Some interesting side-effects of this change are a perceived speed
increase when the app starts or a conference is hangup. They are both
due to the fact that no config needs to be fetched from a remote server
in those cases.
In order to load the configuration from the shard that will actually
host the conference, it's imperative that we add the room= query
parameter:
https://meet.jit.si/config.js?room=example
This implies a departure from our current model, where the config is
discarded if the domain for the next conference is different, but kept
otherwise.
* feat(analytics): move to React
The analytics handlers have been moved to JitsiMeetGlobalNS, so now they are
stored in `window.JitsiMeetJS.app.analyticsHandlers`.
The analytics handlers are re-downloaded and re-initialized on every
lib-jitsi-meet initialization, which happens every time the config is changed
(moving between deployments in the mobile app).
* Adds legacy support for old analytics location.
We have already made the implicit decision not to pursue what the
comment describes. If we ever revisit it, it probably won't be handled
where the comment is anyway.
[RN] Refactor "Keep track of ongoing network requests" and "Show a progress indicator in the BlankPage"
I'm not saying that the two commits in question were wrong or worse than
what I'm offering. Anyway, I think what I'm offering brings:
* Compliance with expectations i.e. the middleware doesn't compute the
next state from the current state, the reducer does;
* Clarity and/or simplicity i.e. there's no global variable (reqIndex),
there's no need for the term "index" (a.k.a "reqIndex") in the redux
store.
* By renaming net-interceptor to network-activity feels like it's
preparing the feature to implement a NetworkActivityIndicator React
Component which will take on more of the knowledge about the specifics
of what is the network activity redux state exactly, is it maintained by
interception or some other mechanism, and abstracts it in the feature
itself allowing outsiders to merely render a React Component.
Works only for XHR requests, which is the only network request mobile performs
(WebRTC traffic aside). The fetch API is implemented on top of XHR, so that's
covered too.
Requests are kept in the redux store until they complete, at which point they
are removed.
I see it as the first step in simplifying the route navigate of the
JavaScript app by removing BlankWelcomePage from _getRouteToRender. From
a faraway point of view, the app is at the route at which it is not in a
conference. Historically, the route was known as the Welcome page. But
mobile complicated the route by saying that actually it may not want to
see the room name input and join button.
Additionally, I renamed BlankWelcomePage to BlankPage because I don't
think of it as a WelcomePage alternative but rather as a more generic
BlankPage which may be utilized elsewhere in the future.
I plan for the next steps to:
* Merge Entryway, _interceptComponent, and _getRouteToRender in one
React Component rendered by AbstractApp so that the whole logic is in
one file;
* Get rid of RouteRegistry and routes.
