Hello everyone 🙂

Here is an important update we want to share with you.

Starting from Transifex Native for Android 1.3.0, the use of AppCompat is required. [![](https://www.gstatic.com/devrel-devsite/prod/v8332a5cec2b627575422eb634078b4a9892f3eac6f9006e54b6e9bbf0bfda91f/android/images/rebrand/favicon.svg)Appcompat | Jetpack | Android Developers](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/appcompat). The SDK has a dependency to appcompat 1.6.1, but it has been tested to work with earlier versions as well.

Integrating the SDK with your activities still works by extending `TxBaseAppCompatActivity`. However, in the case where you have copied the implementation from `TxBaseAppCompatActivity` to your own custom base class, you will need to update it as the implementation has changed: [transifex-java/TransifexNativeSDK/txsdk/src/main/java/com/transifex/txnative/activity/TxBaseAppCompatActivity.java at master · transifex/transifex-java · GitHub](https://github.com/transifex/transifex-java/blob/master/TransifexNativeSDK/txsdk/src/main/java/com/transifex/txnative/activity/TxBaseAppCompatActivity.java)

Previously the wrapping code was:

```auto
private TxContextWrappingDelegateJava mAppCompatDelegate;

   @NonNull
   @Override
   public AppCompatDelegate getDelegate() {
      // Wrap AppCompat delegate
      if (mAppCompatDelegate == null) {
         mAppCompatDelegate = new TxContextWrappingDelegateJava(super.getDelegate());
      }
      return mAppCompatDelegate;
   }

```

and it changed to:

```auto
private AppCompatDelegate mAppCompatDelegate;

   @NonNull
   @Override
   public AppCompatDelegate getDelegate() {
      // Wrap AppCompat delegate
      if (mAppCompatDelegate == null) {
         mAppCompatDelegate = TxNative.wrapAppCompatDelegate(super.getDelegate(), this);
      }
      return mAppCompatDelegate;
   }

```
