If multiple JitsiMeetView instances are created (not necessarily
existing at once), it's possible to hit a TypeError when reading the
React Component props of the currently mounted App. Anyway, in certain
places we're already protecting against that out of abundance of caution
so it makes no sense to not protect everywhere.
It seems that the external API will not send any event to let the sdk
consumer know that the conference has failed if the problem occurs at
the establishing of XMPP connection stage. That's because the config was
loaded successfully, but the conference instance does not exist yet, so
neither base/config nor base/conference will emit any failure.
Make the external API emit CONFERENCE_WILL_JOIN early on SET_ROOM action
which occurs before the XMPP connection is created. At this point we
know that config has loaded and if there's a valid conference room to
be joined. We were thinking of doing that even on CONFIG_WILL_LOAD,
but that seemed to be to risky at this point.
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.
* 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.
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.
The value of inviteURL is derived from locationURL by removing the hash
and query/search params in order to make it fit for display and/or
public purposes. The Jitsi Meet SDK consumers do not fall into that
category and our intention is to provide them with the URL they used
with JitsiMeetView.openURL(URL) anyway.
Also rewrites to remove repetition. I'm not saying the new source code
is better really but at least I got to examine it and comment on some of
its weaknesses.
The current implementation doesn't use the API and Transport modules. This is
due to the fact that they are too tied to APP at the moment, which is web only.
Once API is refactored and moved into the Redux store this will be adjusted,
though it's unlikely that the lowest level React Native module (ExternalAPI)
changes drastically.
This commit also introduces a stopgap limitation of only allowing a single
instance for JitsiMeetView objects on both Android and iOS. React Native doesn't
really play well with having multiple instances of the same modules on the same
bridge, since they behave a bit like singletons. Even if we were to use multiple
bridges, some features depend on system-level global state, such as the
AVAudioSession mode or Android's immersive mode. Further attempts will be made
at lifting this limitation in the future, though.
