4.2.26

QuickCapture Android SDK v4.2.26

(Feature Release — version v4.2.25 skipped)

This release introduces DeviceGuard and DeviceInfo, two powerful new engines designed to strengthen security, context awareness, and trust in document capture workflows for Banking, Insurance, and Enterprise applications.

Major New Features

DeviceGuard — Zero-Trust Security for Mobile Capture

DeviceGuard is a built-in security engine that validates device integrity before any sensitive document capture begins.

It helps prevent synthetic fraud, location manipulation, and data leakage by enforcing a Zero-Trust model at the device level.

Key Capabilities

• Root & Emulator Detection
  Instantly detects rooted devices (Su, Magisk) and emulators to block compromised environments.

• Mock / Fake GPS Detection
  Identifies software-simulated locations and prevents fake field visits or location spoofing.

• Environment Integrity Checks
  Detects:

  • USB Debugging (ADB)
  • Developer Options
  • Active VPN connections

• Screen Protection (Privacy Shield)
  Uses FLAG_SECURE to prevent screenshots and screen recordings.
  Any attempted recording results in a black screen, protecting sensitive PII.

• Real-Time Threat Monitoring
  Continuously monitors the session and raises alerts if:

  • VPN is enabled mid-session
  • Developer options are toggled
  • Screen recording starts (Android 15+)

Typical Use Cases

• e-KYC & Video KYC – Block rooted or tampered devices before camera launch
• Insurance Claims – Reject captures from fake GPS locations
• Field Audits – Prevent background screen recording of confidential documents

DeviceInfo — Intelligent Device Context & Location Intelligence

DeviceInfo provides a complete digital fingerprint of the capture event — combining hardware diagnostics with advanced location intelligence.

Hardware & System Profiling (Synchronous)

Instantly retrieve:

• Manufacturer & Model
• Android OS & SDK version
• CPU hardware
• Total RAM
• Free storage
• Battery percentage & charging status
• Screen density (DPI)

This helps teams:

• Diagnose crashes on low-end devices
• Dynamically adjust capture settings based on device capability

Advanced Location Intelligence (Asynchronous)

• Precise GPS coordinates with accuracy
• Postal PIN Code (network-based)
• DigiPin generation (Offline) — India Post’s digital address system

DigiPin is generated entirely offline, eliminating dependency on reverse-geocoding APIs — ideal for rural or low-connectivity areas.

Smart Fallback Logic

• Attempts high-accuracy GPS first
• Automatically falls back to network triangulation when satellites are unavailable

DigiPin Utilities

• Generate DigiPin instantly from known coordinates (synchronous)
• Fetch only the current DigiPin without requesting full location metadata

Perfect for lightweight tagging and backend standardization.

Why This Matters

• Security is enforced before capture, not after upload
• Context travels with every image, improving auditability and compliance
• Offline reliability enables real-world field operations
• No external APIs required for DigiPin generation

Compatibility Notes

• Fully backward compatible
• No breaking API changes
• Version v4.2.25 intentionally skipped to align internal versioning

v4.2.24

QuickCapture Android SDK v4.2.24

This release focuses on stability, performance, and memory optimizations, particularly for high–frame-rate capture scenarios and long-running sessions.

Fixes & Improvements

• 32-bit Architecture Crash Fix
  Resolved memory alignment issues in the JNI layer related to OpenCV submat usage, eliminating crashes on 32-bit devices.

• Improved ImageReader Buffer Management
  Optimized ImageReader processing with synchronous conversion and immediate buffer release, preventing maxImages buffer exhaustion and ensuring smooth high-FPS operation.

• Enhanced Glare Detection Performance
  Refactored glare detection using pre-allocated native memory and luminance-channel extraction, significantly reducing CPU usage.

• Optimized ConvertToBitmap Pipeline

  • Introduced a fast-path YUV → RGBA conversion for live processing
  • Improved padding handling to fix skewed or slanted images on specific hardware (e.g., Samsung devices)

• Native Memory Lifecycle Cleanup
  Added comprehensive native memory cleanup during onDestroy, preventing memory leaks during extended or repeated capture sessions.

• Critical Memory Leak Fix
  Removed the static Activity context reference from ImgHelper, resolving a major memory leak that retained destroyed activities.

New Features

• Low-Light Torch Support
  Added EnableTorchOnLowLight configuration option to automatically enable the torch in low-light conditions.

• Corner Detection Enhancements

  • Added correction logic for missing corner points
  • Improved padding support for better edge and boundary accuracy

UI & UX Improvements

• Fixed toast display issues on the review screen
• Added a magnifier to the cropping guide for more precise adjustments
• Improved ConvertToBitmap performance during live document detection

Additional Performance Improvements

• Multiple internal optimizations across capture, processing, and rendering paths for improved responsiveness, stability, and reduced CPU/memory overhead.

v4.2.21

Updates on QuickCapture android SDK v4.2.21

New Features & Enhancements

1. Automated Document Rotation (Powered by KIMORA AI V2)
   The SDK now includes enhanced auto-rotation capabilities using the latest KIMORA AI V2 engine.
   Achieves approximately 95% accuracy in detecting and correcting document orientation.
   Works reliably across various capture angles — portrait, landscape, or tilted.
   Significantly reduces user effort by ensuring documents are automatically aligned in most cases.

2. Brand-Neutral UI Design Pattern
   Introducing a new brand-neutral design concept and philosophy to ensure the SDK feels like an integral part of the host application rather than a separate or external component.
   The default UI has been refreshed with a clean black-and-white theme, without any Extrieve brand colors.
   The updated design helps the SDK blend naturally into the host app’s visual style and UX flow.
   The goal is to make the SDK appear native and “owned” by the host app, delivering a unified and consistent user experience.

3. Performance Improvements
   Minor internal optimizations and fixes to improve overall stability and responsiveness.
