Video Cloud App SDK for Android
What's New in v 1.1.0
The Video Cloud App SDK for Android enables you to develop your own native application to deliver your Video Cloud videos to Android devices. In v 1.1.0, we've added a couple of new APIs to better support the Japan region and more options for logging debug messages in the BCPlayerView player:
- We've resolved the InflateException experienced by some developers when trying to add resources.
- We've added the ability to enable log messages on the BCPlayerView player, rather than having those messages enabled by default.
- We've created the ability to set a region for tracking on the BCPlayerView currently supporting US and Japan

Important: This is a not an comprehensive list of supported devices, and all features of these devices might not be supported by the Video Cloud SDK. Applications built using Video Cloud App SDK for Android v.1.1.0 may run on all Android devices with operating systems of 1.5 or later, but will not support the features added by platforms later than Android 1.5 that those devices offer. Brightcove has tested applications built using the Video Cloud App SDK for Android v.1.1.0 on devices running the Android 1.5 platform. Video Cloud has not tested, and therefore does not support, devices built after November 2010. Applications built using Video Cloud App SDK for Android v.1.1.0 are not supported for Android 3.0.
