Why does `Global.Init()` return false after updating the Android SDK?
Last Updated 20 days ago 64 views

Applies to: RadaeePDF Classic and Master SDK for Android

Global.Init() returns false after an update because SDK builds published after 2022-03-10 deprecate the legacy entry points (activeStandard, activeProfessional, activePremium) and require a single 96-character serial key.

To restore activation on updated builds:

// Legacy methods (activeStandard/activeProfessional/activePremium) are no longer exposed.
// Replace legacy mCompany, mEmail, and mKey assignments with mSerial:
Global.mSerial = "96_CHARACTER_SERIAL_GENERATED_FROM_PANEL";
boolean success = Global.Init(this);

For full upgrade guidance, refer to article How to update the Radaee PDF Library to the latest version (Classic/Master Android).

One common caveat: updating only the Java library project (ViewLib) without simultaneously updating the native core libraries (.so files) results in runtime errors such as UnsatisfiedLinkError or silent activation failures.
