What's Included

Public API

API	Description
`EnxChatClient.start(config, listener?)`	One-call setup: initialize the WebView and connect to the bot
`EnxChatClient.bindToLifecycle(owner)`	Auto-manage disconnect/release with an Activity or Fragment lifecycle
`EnxChatConfig`	Configuration model: `botId`, `host`, `path`, `isCallView`, `enableHistory`
`EnxChatFragment`	Fragment wrapper around EnxChatClient for fragment-first apps
`EnxChatSession`	Headless, advanced lifecycle for custom orchestration (Level 3 API)
`EnxChatBotListener`	`onBotConnected(BotInfo)` and `onClose()` callbacks
`EnxChatSessionListener`	Full session event listener for advanced integrations
`EnxChatClient.resetConversation()`	Clears the server-side conversation and local message list

Chat Mode

Full chat interface (Jetpack Compose) with message list and input bar
Bot avatar, name, and startup message loaded from BotInfo
Animated typing indicator while the bot composes a reply
Markdown rendering in bot messages via Markwon (bold, italic, tables, strikethrough)

Message Types Supported

Plain text messages (user ↔ bot)
Quick replies and action buttons
Image, video, audio, and file/document attachments
Structured cards and carousels
Calendar (date picker) prompts
System / handover status messages

Media Attachments

Click-to-Call Mode

Server-driven via the BotInfo.clickToCall field (“text”, “audio”, or “video”) — no extra integration code required

Full-screen video call activity (EnxVideoCallActivity) rendering the agent's call iframe
Audio/video call buttons in the chat header when isCallView = true
