This documentation is for reference only. We are no longer onboarding new customers to Programmable Video. Existing customers can continue to use the product until December 5, 2026.
We recommend migrating your application to the API provided by our preferred video partner, Zoom. We've prepared this migration guide to assist you in minimizing any service disruption.
This guide provides an introduction to the 4.x Programmable Video Android SDK and a set of guidelines to migrate an application from 3.x to 4.x.
The programming model has not changed from 3.x to 4.x. Refer to our 2.x migration guide for a refresher on the Video Android SDK models.
The media stack, WebRTC 67, has not changed from 3.x to 4.x. The process by which our team upgrades WebRTC has been improved and developers can expect a steadier cadence of releases with WebRTC upgrades moving forward.
The Video Android SDK has not changed JDK versions from 3.x to 4.x. Consumers of the Video Android SDK must update their applications to use Java 8 if they haven't done so already. Add the following to your application build.gradle to enable Java 8 features.
_10android {_10 compileOptions {_10 sourceCompatibility 1.8_10 targetCompatibility 1.8_10 }_10}
Optionally, you can also instruct Android Studio to optimize your project for Java 8 by clicking "Analyze -> Inspect Code".
In 4.x we have introduced a new set of callbacks in Room.Listener to notify developers of a network disruption. As a result, developers will need to add these new callbacks to every instance of the Room.Listener interface.
