4 Commits • 2 Features
Mar 1, 2026March 2026: Focused on build hygiene, Android integration, and reliability improvements for xbmc/xbmc. Key features and fixes delivered: (1) Library Dependency Update and Build Hygiene: Bumped libandroidjni to a newer commit and refreshed the SHA512 checksum; cleaned up Android-related .gitignore entries to streamline builds. (2) Android Intent Extras: Support for Multiple Data Types: Added support for new data types for Intent extras to pass various data through Intents. (3) Content URI Generation: Fix Hardcoded Package Name: Removed hardcoded package name in Content URI generation to improve flexibility and correctness for file sharing across apps. Major bugs fixed: ensured Content URI generation no longer relies on a single package name, reducing edge-case failures in cross-app sharing. Overall impact: improved build stability, faster CI iterations, and more robust Android integrations, enabling safer interoperability with third-party apps. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Android development (Java/Kotlin), Gradle/build hygiene, dependency management, content URI handling, Intent extras, checksum verification, repository maintenance.
