Thanks for sharing!

If I’m not mistaken, you packaged the app with minimal API version 26 (Oreo). https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/ can you lower to 21?

If you don’t have any Android phone you can use https://www.genymotion.com/fun-zone/ & https://docs.genymotion.com/latest/Content/03_Virtual_Devices/Deploying_an_application.htm

(so you can create 2 devices on your desktop to make it easier for user testing)

Id like to test it, can someone add me “China Man”.
Is it planned that crypto payments via hyper can be done, similar to wechat?

File transfer functionalities including images, audio and video are now enabled in Hyper messenger.
In addition, each user can set their presence to online/busy/away in their profile and see the presence of friends.

File sharing:

  • files are not stored on the network, only on the sender’s and recepient’s phone
  • the recepient stores received files under ‘Downloads’ in the folder named ‘Hyper’
  • because files are not stored on the network, both the sender and the receiver must stay online until the transfers are complete
  • (Transition) Both sender and receiver must update to the latest version of Hyper to send or receive files
  • Data transfer time (throughput) depends on the carrier network

The next update related to file transfer will add:

  • camera functionalities: take a picture or record a video and send within the conversation
  • voice messages: record and send or receive and play voice messages without leaving the conversation
  • GIFs: play/stop/resume GIFs in chat (currently it must be clicked to open and play)
  • extensive transfer handling: stop or resume
  • and a few other features

Invite multiple online friends into a chat room - feature has been released with latest update.

The ‘room’ functionality allows anyone to create a chat room, invite online friends to join and chat as in a group conversation.

In contrast to group chat, the room chat is:

  • only available until the creator of the room is connected to the network.
  • only the creator of the room can invite online friends.
  • only those friends can be invited that are online at the time of the creation of the room or are online while the room is active and has not been closed by the creator of the room.

Please note that only those users can join the chat room that have also updated the app to the latest release.

In addition, the following features have been released:

  • Delete entire conversation or individual messages
  • In-app camera function
  • In-app voice-messages ( android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO permission must be approved )

trying this out now, sounds like a cool app! So the Elastos Carrier is already functioning and is used by the app for transferring e.g. messages and files P2P?

#18

Correct, Hyper uses the Elastos Carrier which supports both messaging and P2P file sharing.
