We publish the SDK to mavenCentral as an AAR file. Just declare it as dependency in your build.gradle file.
dependencies {
implementation "com.clevertap.android:clevertap-android-sdk:6.2.1"
}Alternatively, you can download and add the AAR file included in this repo in your Module libs directory and tell gradle to install it like this:
dependencies {
implementation (name: "clevertap-android-sdk-6.2.1", ext: 'aar')
}Add the Firebase Messaging library and Android Support Library v4 as dependencies to your Module build.gradle file.
dependencies {
implementation "com.clevertap.android:clevertap-android-sdk:6.2.1"
implementation "androidx.core:core:1.9.0"
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:23.0.6"
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:22.3.0" // Required only if you enable Google ADID collection in the SDK (turned off by default).
}Also be sure to include the google-services.json classpath in your Project level build.gradle file:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
// if you are including the aar file manually in your Module libs directory add this:
flatDir {
dirs 'libs'
}
}
dependencies {
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.2.2"
classpath "com.google.gms:google-services:4.4.0"
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}Add your FCM generated google-services.json file to your project and add the following to the end of your build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'Interstitial InApp Notification templates support Audio and Video with the help of ExoPlayer. To enable Audio/Video in your Interstitial InApp Notifications, add the following dependencies in your build.gradle file :
implementation "com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer:2.19.1"
implementation "com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer-hls:2.19.1"
implementation "com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer-ui:2.19.1"Once you've updated your module build.gradle file, make sure you have specified mavenCentral() and google() as a repositories in your project build.gradle and then sync your project in File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files.
Add the following inside the <application></application> tags of your AndroidManifest.xml:
<meta-data
android:name="CLEVERTAP_ACCOUNT_ID"
android:value="Your CleverTap Account ID"/>
<meta-data
android:name="CLEVERTAP_TOKEN"
android:value="Your CleverTap Account Token"/>Replace "Your CleverTap Account ID" and "Your CleverTap Account Token" with actual values from your CleverTap Dashboard -> Settings -> Integration -> Account ID, SDK's.
Add the android:name property to the <application> tag in your AndroidManifest.xml:
<application
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:name="com.clevertap.android.sdk.Application">Note: If you've already got a custom Application class, call ActivityLifecycleCallback.register(this); before super.onCreate() in your custom Application class.
Note: The above step is extremely important and enables CleverTap to track notification opens, display in-app notifications, track deep links, and other important user behavior.
By default the library creates a shared default instance based on the Account ID and Account Token included in your AndroidManifest.xml. To access this default shared singleton instance in your code call -
CleverTapAPI.getDefaultInstance(context)CleverTapAPI clevertap = CleverTapAPI.getDefaultInstance(getApplicationContext());Creating multiple instances of the SDK
Starting with version 3.2.0 of the SDK, you can create additional CleverTap instances to send data to multiple CleverTap accounts from your app. To create an additional instance:
- Create a CleverTapInstanceConfig object. This object can be created and configured as follows:
CleverTapInstanceConfig clevertapAdditionalInstanceConfig = CleverTapInstanceConfig.createInstance(context, "ADDITIONAL_CLEVERTAP_ACCOUNT_ID", "ADDITIONAL_CLEVERTAP_ACCOUNT_TOKEN");
clevertapAdditionalInstanceConfig.setDebugLevel(CleverTapAPI.LogLevel.DEBUG); // default is CleverTapAPI.LogLevel.INFO
clevertapAdditionalInstanceConfig.setAnalyticsOnly(true); // disables the user engagement features of the instance, default is false
clevertapAdditionalInstanceConfig.useGoogleAdId(true); // enables the collection of the Google ADID by the instance, default is false- Then to create and subsequently access the additional CleverTap instance, call CleverTapAPI.instanceWithConfig with the CleverTapInstanceConfig object you created.
CleverTapAPI clevertapAdditionalInstance = CleverTapAPI.instanceWithConfig(clevertapAdditionalInstanceConfig);Note: All configuration to the CleverTapInstanceConfig object must be done prior to calling CleverTapAPI.instanceWithConfig. Subsequent changes to the CleverTapInstanceConfig object will have no effect on the additional CleverTap instance created.
See the usage examples here. Also, see the example project, included with this repo.
