New Features

  • Dark Theme Support - The Android Mobile Messaging SDK Supports Dark Theme for Android 10.
    For More information see: Attributes Page

Known Issues

  • Android 10, Structured Content and Quick reply messages: Currently, structured content message colors are sent from the LiveEngage Agent Dashboard as hexadecimal colors and we cannot be certain of the appearance setting the consumer will have enabled as the structured content message arrives. Currently the Android Mobile Messaging SDK does not support converting these colors to an alternate appearance for Dark Theme. Therefore we ask our customers to ensure that colors selected for the structured content JSON are visually legible for both appearance modes for backgrounds and text within the Android Mobile Messaging SDK. As an alternative, from SDK 5.0.0 you can also set Dark Mode configuration darkMode_SC_QR_override_colors_from_LE in SDK not to override colors from LE and use Quick Replies, Structured Content color attributes in SDK.

  • Android 10 and Secure Form web view: We support Dark Theme for Secure Form by force enabling it with attribute darkMode_force_enable_for_webView(enabled by default).
