Android API 28

[Carlos Verdier]

Hi

Android is issuing a warning about api level 28 being mandatory in August. Will this be addressed soon? I know you are on summer vacation, that's why I'm asking.

Thanks

Hi Carlos

with this hint:

codename1.arg.android.targetSDKVersion=28

the warning on the Play Store disappears, but the App don't work on devices with Android 9 (Pie).

I think what in codenameOne must to make changes on the API 28 compiler.

Best Regards Kandy

Thank you , Kandy

I guess we'll have to wait then, because the hint does not entirely solve the issue.

I dropped the ball on this. I have an issue assigned to me to handle the migration before July and I got distracted.

We'll do the migration to 28 before July 28th.

Can you connect your phone to a cable and post the error messages you get under Pie?

[Kandy Bitxenio]

Hi Shai

there are no errors on the console, the app start and close suddenly, if you want I can send you the apk or the source code. Send me a private contact (ka...@bitxenio.com)

Best Regards

Hi,

I see the problem. It's a bit tricky. It seems Android killed support for enlarging the clipping area which is a bit insane...

time to switch to a common redering engine like skia for all platforms  ;)

I have some uncommitted code that complies with this clipping limitation.  I made the changes as part of some experiments to improve performance, but I didn't commit them because they didn't cause any performance improvement - and the deprecated way still worked as far as I knew.  I'll parse these changes out and commit them.

I have updated the clipping functionality to comply with the Replace.Op.REPLACE deprecation.

I have tested building and running KitchenSink using codename1.arg.android.targetSDKVersion=28 on Android Studio's Emulator running Android 9, and it is working fine.

This will be on the build server in the next update.

Best regards

Steve

That should work now.

FYI this isn't necessary. Since the update on the 19th the default was API level 28 so all builds that didn't explicitly state the target API version used API level 28.

[Carlos Verdier]

I didn't set any api level, but I had to build for 6.0 version, since I had a problem parsing dates, as I told on other thread.

Maybe that's the reason why I got the warning from Google store when submitting my app yesterday. I guess the default for 6.0 is api level 27. Am I right?

[Shai Almog]

Yes. Versioned builds are limited to the state of the version otherwise it just wouldn't work.
