Android Scanner Compat Library Versions Save

What's Changed

• Migration to Android 12 by @philips77 in https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/Android-Scanner-Compat-Library/pull/114

Full Changelog: https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/Android-Scanner-Compat-Library/compare/1.5.1...1.6.0

This version includes a fix for #109 (with #111). The user ScanCallback instance is held as WeakReference.

This version migrates the library to Java 8. You will need to enable desugaring of Java 8 language features if you have not already done so. (And if you are releasing an Android library, then anyone who uses that library will also have to enable desugaring.) We expect for nearly all Android projects to have already enabled desugaring. But if this causes problems for you, please use version 1.4.5, which is feature-equal to 1.5.0.

This release fixes the following issue:

• Issue #58, causing scans with PendingIntent not being properly stopped, has been fixed by adding an extra parameter to startScan and stopScan methods (#97).

The new version fixes the following issues:

• NullPointerException while starting scanner on Android 12 DP3 (#94, #95)
• Handling null Intent in onStartCommand (#51)

It is released only on Maven Central, as JCenter has been shut down.
