We have the OkHttp server these days, so we don't need to use Netty. Use
the generic API instead of hard-coding OkHttp.
We've seen some recent interop failures. We aren't entirely sure what is
going on, but we have seen some Netty usages in logcat. Since we don't
even want Netty on Android, just get rid of it and even if it doesn't
help with the failures things are better dependency-wise.
Allows using Android's LocalSocket via a Socket adapter. Such an adapter
isn't generally 100% safe, since some methods may not have any effect,
but we know what methods are called by gRPC's okhttp transport and can
update the adapter or the transport as appropriate.
This is the latest version of the plugin supported by the Gradle version
in use at the moment (7.6).
Note that this also upgrades the R8 optimizer to a version (4.0.48) that
now uses "full mode" optimization by default.
This also splits off Android projects to run under Java 11 (Gradle
plugin requirement) while the other projects continue to run under Java
8.
Introduce an AsyncService interface in the generated code and move the methods from <service>ImplBase to default implementation of the interface.
* update pom files to allow java 1.8
* Add a bindService(<service>Async) method
* Change TestServiceImpl to use the interface and include a bind method instead of extending TestServiceImplBase.
Two main incompatibilities existed in the copy of protos in grpc-proto:
no SimpleContext and an Empty method argument was replaced with a
message. "Context" is a very old word for "Metadata" back from the days
before the current gRPC protocol. We don't need that message in
particular, and well-known protos actually works in Protobuf Lite these
days, so we can swap to wrappers.proto's StringValue and don't need to
upstream a change to grpc-proto. The argument problem is fixed just by
changing the type in the Java code.
With the incompatibilities fixed, do a sync from grpc-proto and include
interop-testing.
- bump android plugin version to 4.2.0
- migrate deprecated android.support dependencies to androidx dependencies
- bump `targetSdkVersion` to 29
- temporarily ignore lint error for 'MissingClass' due to #8799
- run android CIs with `-Pandroid.useAndroidX=true -Pandroid.enableJetifier=true` flags
- android examples are still using android.support dependencies, will not be updated in this PR.
The tests run as part of the existing android-interop-testing job.
We needed to modify the manifest of the apk built under android-interop-testing to declare Android Services used by the binder tests.
This can be used by annotation processors to avoid processing the
gRPC-generated code. The normal Generated annotation only has SOURCE
retention, so isn't available to annotation processors.
I don't include the service name within the annotation as that assumes
we'll never have need for any other type of generated class. If there's
a request for exposing service name via an annotation in the future, we
can make an RpcService annotation or the like.
Fixes#8158
androidx.appcompat is not ready to be used internally. This change downgrades android-interop-testing's target SDK version to 26 and use android.support's appcompat instead.
Bumps target SDK version of grpc-android, grpc-cronet, grpc-android-interop-testing to API 29. Major related changes are:
- Migrated android.support to androidx, which is required for Android Q.
- android.net.NetworkInfo is deprecated in SDK 29, suppressed compiler warnings as it is needed for supporting old Android versions.
- Robolectric requires Java 9+ for Android 29, which causes unit tests in grpc-cronet fail. Added annotation to emulate Android 28 for grpc-cronet's test.
- Upgraded Android dependencies accordingly in android-interop-testing.
Resolves#7741
Some of the static methods in generated code have the same method name but different package name, such `ClientCalls.asyncClientStreamingCall` and `ServerCalls.asyncClientStreamingCall`. It's less readable using static import than using full-qualified method name in-place.
Android Studio gives warning: "The minSdk version should not be declared in the android manifest file". Typically minSdkVersion should be configured in build.gradle, it was set in manifest since internally we use Blaze. cl/316513856 is created to update the internal BUILD file that configures minSdkVersion.
