New Feature Showcase

Oauth2

This is perhaps the biggest change and deserving of a blog post of its own. In the meanwhile, you can view our sample app.

Request / Response Handler improvements

An example of the improved APIs can be found in our cookbook.

Push Module

Our push module is on [GitHub] (https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-android-push) with a sample application in our quickstart. The module is also available in Maven Central.

• Download Project
• Maven Dependency
• Fetch with Gradle compile 'org.jboss.aerogear:aerogear-android-push:0.2@aar'

What's Next

Our next version of Android will be focused on core API improvements. Specifically we will continue our modularization efforts, remove deprecated methods, and switch from using a Callback style API to using a Promise/Future style API. This release will also mark the beginning of our 2.0 branch.

Additional features will be included as modules. Currently we are planning for or working on the following :

• aerogear-android-sync
• aerogear-android-offline
• aerogear-android-simplepush

Once our planning is finalized, details will be published on our roadmap.

Only my 2 cents, but you can just ignore me and release the Kraken.

1. Today we have pushed to Maven Central our the latest version of AeroGear's Android library

Next releases will always be the latest version, so probably the further blog posts will repeat. Maybe something like Today we are please to announce that 1.4 release of our Android libraries is out

1. 1. The Authorizer framework with OAuth2 support 2) enhanced Request and Response handlers for Pipe's 3) a dedicated Push messaging module 4) updated docs and sample applications and 5) full aar support for Android Studio.

Do we have any pointers for the documentation? Just URL for people curious about these changes, it seems obvious for you, but might not be to the others. If the section "New Feature Showcase" already say that, maybe a url like "more information in the section blah"
