anchorAdd the Maven Repository

Insert the following Maven repository into your project-level build.gradle:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url 'https://devhub.cisco.com/artifactory/webexsdk/'
        }
    }
}

anchorSelect the SDK Variant

The Mobile Android SDK is available in two variants:

• Webex-Wxc SDK: Optimized for size. Suitable if your app only uses Webex Calling.
• Full SDK: Includes meetings, messaging, and supports UCM calling along with Webex Calling.

Use the Full SDK

In your module-level build.gradle, add the Full SDK as a dependency:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.ciscowebex:webexsdk:3.16.2'
}

Use the Webex-Wxc SDK

In your module-level build.gradle, add the size-optimized Webex-Wxc SDK as a dependency:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.ciscowebex:webexsdk-wxc:3.16.2'
}

anchorAndroid SDK v3.16+ Permission Behavior Changes

From Android SDK v3.16 onwards, runtime permission handling is app-owned:

• The SDK does not include dangerous permissions in the library manifest.
• The SDK does not show permission dialogs.
• Your app must declare required permissions and request them at runtime before SDK operations.
• If permissions are missing, SDK APIs return WebexError.ErrorCode.PERMISSION_REQUIRED and include missing permissions in error.data.

The SDK also includes support for 16 KB memory page size on Android; no app code change is required for that part.

Common calling permissions

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

Runtime permission check example

val required = listOf(Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO)
val missing = required.filter {
    ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(ctx, it) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
}

if (missing.isNotEmpty()) {
    // requestPermissions(missing.toTypedArray(), REQ_CODE)
    return
}

webex.phone.dial(address, MediaOption.audioOnly()) { result ->
    // Handle result. If permission is missing, SDK returns PERMISSION_REQUIRED.
}
