This document consolidates the SDK team's own release-notes review, cross-checked directly against the current source tree (reviewed 2026-07-16). The original v1.0.0 notes only described EnxChatClient; the code review found substantially more already-shipped functionality (Level 2/3 APIs, both call paths, rich attachment previews, and more) which is documented below as part of this same v1.0.0 release, since SDK_VERSION in gradle.properties was still 1.0.0 at the time of review.

What's Included

Public API

Addition	Notes
`EnxChatConfig`	`botId`, `host` (required), plus optional `path`/`isCallView`/`enableHistory`.
`EnxChatClient`	`start(config, listener?)`, `bindToLifecycle(owner)`, `disconnect()`, `release()`.
`EnxChatBotListener`	`onBotConnected(botInfo)`, `onClose()`.
`EnxChatSession` (Level 3)	Headless lifecycle/session API — `create(...)`, `initialize()`, `connect()`, `sendMessage(text, attachments)`, `disconnect()`, `resetConversation()`, `release()`, `getWebView()`, `saveState()`/`restoreState()`, `state: StateFlow<EnxChatState>`.
`EnxChatFragment` (Level 2)	Fragment-first wrapper — `newInstance(...)`, `bindToHostLifecycle(...)`, `start()`/`connect()`/`disconnect()`/`release()`.
`EnxChatSessionListener` / `EnxChatSessionListenerAdapter`	Richer event contract than `EnxChatBotListener`: `onStateChanged`, `onChatReady`, `onConnected`, `onConversationReady`, `onMessageSent`, `onBotResponse`, `onBotMessage`, `onTyping`, `onDisconnected`, `onBotInfo`, `onClear`, `onConversationReset`, `onAudioCallClick`, `onVideoCallClick`, `onError`, `onVideoCallRequested`, `onNativeUIKitCallRequested`, `onVideoCallEnded`.
`EnxChatState` enum	`CREATED`, `INITIALIZING`, `INITIALIZED`, `CONNECTING`, `CONNECTED`, `DISCONNECTED`, `ERROR`, `RELEASED` — exposed via `getState()`/`getCurrentState()`/`state: StateFlow`.
`EnxChat` composable + `EnxChatController`	Compose-native advanced entry point; `EnxChatController.resetConversation()` for imperative resets from outside the composable.
`EnxCallView` composable	Reusable audio/video call icon buttons for custom app-owned chat headers.
`ChatMessage` model (+ `ChatAttachment`, `QuickReply`, `MessageType`, `AttachmentType`)	Full structured message model: text, quick replies, buttons, image/video/audio/file/card/carousel/system messages, multi-select support (`allowMultiple`).
`BotInfo` model (+ `BotDetails`, `ChatTheme`, `StartupForm`, `Security`, `AgentHuntingStatusMessage`)	Full bot metadata — theme colors, contact/legal links, startup form config, agent-hunting status copy, security flags (`escapeHTML`), `maxMessageLength`, click-to-call mode.
`EnxChatClient.setBotIdAndHost(...)`	Present but `@Deprecated` in favor of `startWithBot(...)`/`start(config, listener)`.
`EnxChatClient.setProfilePictureUrl(...)` / `setHeaderColor(...)`	Header customization hooks.
`EnxChatClient` config-change survival	`onSaveInstanceState`/`onRestoreInstanceState` persist WebView state across rotation.
`EnxChatClient.unbindFromLifecycle()`	Explicit teardown of a previous `bindToLifecycle(...)` binding.

Chat Features (UI Layer)

Full chat screen (EnxChatScreen) with: date separators, typing indicator, WhatsApp-style attachment sheet (camera/gallery/document/emoji), quick-reply single- and multi-choice selection, calendar/date-picker quick replies, and rich in-message attachment previews — image/video fullscreen viewers, and a document viewer supporting PDF (with page rendering), JSON (pretty-printed + syntax highlighting), CSV (table view), HTML, Markdown, and plain/code text, with an “open externally” fallback for unsupported types.
Markdown rendering in bot message bubbles via Markwon (tables + strikethrough extensions).
Message de-duplication safeguards in the JS bridge to avoid duplicate bubbles from history replay.
Conversation reset detection from free-text bot copy (e.g. “reset conversation”), in addition to explicit quick-reply/button reset actions.
A 30-second response timeout that injects a friendly “having trouble responding” system message if the bot doesn't answer in time.
Message queuing while disconnected — messages sent before CONNECTED are queued and flushed automatically on connect.

Calling Features

Two independent call paths, both launched via the internal EnxVideoCallActivity:
- Browser/iFrame-based calls (onVideoCallRequested) — rendered in a dedicated WebView.
- Native calls via the EnableX UIKit Android SDK (onNativeUIKitCallRequested) — rendered using EnxVideoView/EnxSetting/EnxAudioViewConfig from Enx_UIKit_Android-2.2.3.aar, backed by Enx-Rtc-Android (WebRTC signaling, Bluetooth audio routing, foreground service) and libwebrtc.aar (native WebRTC media engine).
Picture-in-Picture support during native calls (9:16 aspect ratio), triggered on back-press or onUserLeaveHint.
Automatic return-to-chat navigation when a call ends (closeAndReturnToChat() brings the host chat Activity back to the foreground).
EnxCallView composable + EnxChatConfig.isCallView flag to surface call-initiation icons in a custom header.

File & Attachment Sending

EnxChatSession.sendMessage(text, attachments) / file-send helpers — accepts Uri, File, ByteArray, or a raw base64 String; automatically detects file name/MIME type; base64-encodes off the main thread and delivers via the JS bridge.

Known Limitations

Chat WebView always loads a fixed EnableX-hosted URL; the bundled offline assets are currently unused.
SSL error handling differs between the chat WebView (blocks) and the call WebView (bypasses).
Audio-only native calls (EnxAudioViewConfig) are wired but not currently reachable — isAudioOnly is hardcoded false.
EnxChatBot.setEnxChatListener(...) does not re-register the JS bridge if called after initialization.

Required Permissions

Always required: INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE. Required for call features: CAMERA, RECORD_AUDIO, MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS, WAKE_LOCK, FOREGROUND_SERVICE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PROJECTION, SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW, BLUETOOTH_CONNECT/BLUETOOTH_SCAN/BLUETOOTH_ADVERTISE.

These come from three sources merged automatically by Gradle: the SDK module's own manifest, Enx_UIKit_Android-2.2.3.aar's manifest, and Enx-Rtc-Android-release.aar's manifest.
