[jigneshvashundhara]

Why this library require minSdk 24? My app working on on minimum 16 sdk but some of functionality i require to use your library but in library minimum sdk define 24 so please help..

Thanking you

Main releases require min API level 24, and LTS releases require min API level 21.

API capabilities required to build/run mobile-ffmpeg are not included in levels earlier than 21. This is why they are not supported.

sir please let me know how to use LTS release

[tanersener]

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.arthenica:mobile-ffmpeg-full:4.2.LTS'
}

@tanersener Can I modify configure file to support api level 19? or which previous releases support api level 19? or some other build scripts recommend for api level 19? thanks

[tanersener]

None of the published binaries support API Level 19 and I don't plan to support it.

If you need it, you can download mobile-ffmpeg source, edit and try it yourself.

Hi @tanersener !

Try to use it in my app. My minSdkVersion is 21.

I got errors:
AndroidManifest.xml:26:9-45 Error:
Attribute application@icon value=(@mipmap/icon_launcher) from AndroidManifest.xml:26:9-45
is also present at [com.arthenica:mobile-ffmpeg-full:4.2.LTS] AndroidManifest.xml:13:9-43 value=(@mipmap/ic_launcher).
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:icon"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml:21:5-163:19 to override.
AndroidManifest.xml:27:9-37 Error:

is also present at [com.arthenica:mobile-ffmpeg-full:4.2.LTS] AndroidManifest.xml:14:9-41 value=(@string/app_name).
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:label"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml:21:5-163:19 to override.
AndroidManifest.xml:28:9-36 Error:
Attribute application@supportsRtl value=(false) from AndroidManifest.xml:28:9-36
is also present at [com.arthenica:mobile-ffmpeg-full:4.2.LTS] AndroidManifest.xml:16:9-35 value=(true).
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:supportsRtl"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml:21:5-163:19 to override.

I use lts, my build.gradle contains:
implementation 'com.arthenica:mobile-ffmpeg-full:4.2.LTS'

If I download zip archive from here: https://github.com/tanersener/mobile-ffmpeg/archive/v4.2.1.zip AndroidMenifest.xml clearly states that minsdkversion is 24. But in docs it is said that lts supports minSdkVersion 21.

Thanks!

Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:icon"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml:21:5-163:19 to override.

I think the message is pretty clear. mobile-ffmpeg library includes an ic_launcher icon inside. You need to add tools:replace="android:icon" to override it as suggested. The same error is printed for label and supportsRtl, you need to overwrite them too.

Version names of LTS releases end with LTS. https://github.com/tanersener/mobile-ffmpeg/archive/v4.2.1.zip is not an LTS release, it is Main release. So it supports API Level 24.

@tanersener oops. My bad. Sorry

[tanersener]

None of the published binaries support API Level 19 and I don't plan to support it.

API levels below 21 does not support arm64-v8a architecture. This is why my initial plan was to support API levels >= 21.

Recently, I had some time to fix incompatibilities for API levels below 21 on the development branch. Right now, LTS release of development branch supports API level 16 and the next mobile-ffmpeg release is planned to support API Level 16 too.
