Lib-jitsi-meet uses jQuery's .append method to manipulate Jingle. The
method in question invokes the getter and setter of Element.innerHTML.
Unfortunately, xmldom which we use in React Native to polyfill DOM does
not polyfill Element.innerHTML. So polyfill it ourselves.
Turns out React Native's timers (setTimeout / setInterval) don't run while the
app is in the background: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/167
This patch replaces the global timer functions with those from the
react-native-background-timer package, which work in the background.
These timers won't magically make an application work in the background, but
they will run if an application already happens to run in the background. That's
our case while in a conference, so these timers will run, allowing XMPP pings to
be sent and the conference to stay up as long as the user desires.
- Use 1 name for 1 abstraction. Instead of useFullScreen and enabled use
fullScreen.
- Comments are correct English sentences so no double spaces between
senteces, no capitalization of the work On midsentence.
- Write as little source code as possible if readability is preserved.
- Utilize Facebook's Flow.
- The name of a private function must start with _ and the jsdoc should
state that the function is private.
The implementation varies across platforms, with the same goal: allow the app to
use the entire screen real state while in a conference.
On Android we use immersive mode, which will hide the status and navigation bars.
https://developer.android.com/training/system-ui/immersive.html
On iOS the status bar is hidden, with a slide effect.
The desired behavior of the button 'Start a conference' / 'Join the
conversation' is to launch the mobile app if installed; otherwise, do
nothing i.e. continue to display UnsupportedMobileBrowser.
Anyway, we may change our minds about allowing the user to continue in a
supported mobile browser so preserve the source code that enables that
but give it more appropriate naming.
The files react/index.native.js and react/index.web.js ended up having
very similar source code related to initializing the Redux store. Remove
the duplication.
Additionally, I always wanted the App React Component to be consumed
without the need to provide a Redux store to it.
Simplify the source code (with the idea that source code which does not
exist does not have to be maintained).
Additionally, apply modifications to have the source code comply with the coding
style.
Overall, prepare saghul:audio-mode for merge into jitsi:master.
Recently, we reimplemented the Welcome page in React. Unfortunately, we
broke the checkbox that enables/disables the Welcome page and it would
allow checking but wouldn't allow unchecking.
Recently, we reimplemented the watermarks in React. Unfortunately, we
didn't take into account film strip-only mode.
Additionally, we duplicated watermark-related source code on the Welcome
and Conference pages.
A bug was discovered in d17cc9fa which would raise a failure to push
into the browser's history if a base href was defined. Fix the failure
by removing react-router. Anyway, the usage of react-router was
incorrect because the app must hit the server infrastructure when it
enters a room because the server will choose the very app version then.
The React-based rewrite looks whether there's a room name (in the
window's location) in order to choose between WelcomePage and
Conference. But app.js expects Conference to be rendered before it
builds a room name if WelcomePage is disabled and there's no room name.
A quick and dirty workaround is to render Conference within WelcomePage
so that the rendered result closely resembles index.html before the
React-based rewrite.
Don't use Array.prototype.sort() because (1) it operates in place and,
thus, mutes the Redux state and (2) it is not necessarily stable and,
thus, unnecessarily shuffles the thumbnails.
The audio levels are gathered by lib-jitsi-meet via polling of
RTCPeerConnection.getStats() which is very slow on Android. Since the
mobile app makes no use of audio levels, it is easiest to disable them
for now in order to not penalize the app.
The toolbar's mute buttons depict respective features/base/media states.
However, (un)muting is practically carried out by features/base/tracks.
When the mobile app enters a conference configured to invite the joining
participant to mute themselves, the tracks would be muted but the
toolbar's mute buttons would not reflect that.
Bundle our custom icon font jitsi.ttf in the Android app (which we
already do for the iOS app).
Additionally, remove icon font files which are not in use.
An error was discovered and fixed by GitHub user blackneck in
jitsi/jitsi-meet PR #1017. The faulty source code was a piece of
duplication though. Remove the source code duplication there to reduce
the risks of bugs.
jitsi/lib-jitsi-meet#66b601e disabled the execution of Temasys'
adapter.screenshare.js on browsers on which we don't use Temasys such as
React Native. Henceforth, no Temasys workarounds are necessary on React
Native.
As a step toward merging jitsi-meet-react with jitsi-meet to share as
much source code as possible between mobile and Web, merge the part of
jitsi-meet-react's source tree which supports mobile inside the
jitsi-meet source tree and leave jitsi-meet-react's Web support in the
source code revision history but don't have it in master anymore because
it's different from jitsi-meet's Web support. In other words, the two
projects are mechanically merged at the file level and don't really
share source code between mobile and Web.
As an intermediate step on the path to merging jitsi-meet and
jitsi-meet-react, import the whole source code of jitsi-meet-react as it
stands at
2f23d98424
i.e. the lastest master at the time of this import. No modifications are
applied to the imported source code in order to preserve a complete
snapshot of it in the repository of jitsi-meet and, thus, facilitate
comparison later on. Consequently, the source code of jitsi-meet and/or
jitsi-meet-react may not work. For example, jitsi-meet's jshint may be
unable to parse jitsi-meet-react's source code.
