Start new conference from Activity

Install & Config

I’m using the following code snippet to start a new conference from android Activity which extends JitsiMeetActivity.

Fragment frag=  MeetingActivity.this.getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.jitsiFragment);
        if(frag!=null){
            if(BuildConfig.DEBUG){
                Toast.makeText(mContext, "joining to a conference", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

            JitsiMeet.setDefaultConferenceOptions(options);
            Utils.Companion.log("startMeeting: true");
            Utils.Companion.log("joining to jitsiview with meeting options");
            ((JitsiMeetFragment)frag).getJitsiView().join(currentRoomOptionsBuilder.build());
        }

This worked fine with SDK 2.8.2 and I upgraded the SDK to 5.0.0 and now the fragment is always null.
