- 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.
