Initialize Vivox Android services

How to initialize the Vivox Android services.

Last updated 8 months ago

To address Android platform requirements, you must initialize the Vivox Android services that are included in the Vivox Java library by invoking the

com.vivox.sdk.JniHelpers.init(...)

static method. Failing to do so will report

SDK_UNINITIALIZED

even though the underlying native Vivox SDK library is initialized.

A call to

JniHelpers.init(getApplicationContext(), null, new String[]{"app-so-lib-name"});

loads the Vivox Android library, the native Vivox library, and the application's

libapp-so-lib-name.so

library.

A call to
```
JniHelpers.init(getApplicationContext());
```
only loads the Vivox Android library and the native Vivox library. It is then the application developer's responsibility to separately load the application's
```
libapp-so-lib-name.so
```
library.

There are six variants of

com.vivox.sdk.JniHelpers.init(...)

. The Android app context is the only non-optional argument:


public static boolean init(Context appContext);public static boolean init(Context appContext, String certFile);public static boolean init(Context appContext, String certFile, String[] libs);public static boolean init(String vivoxLibraryPath, Context appContext);public static boolean init(String vivoxLibraryPath, Context appContext, String certFile);public static boolean init(String vivoxLibraryPath, Context appContext, String certFile, String[] libs);
