Import

You must use git to download the sdk from repository

The repository is private, to clone it you must generate an ssh key, see the guide
Once the key is generate you must send to Tecnavia the public key and wait a confirmation that you are enabled
Inside root folder run the following command, replace TAG with the latest release, see the list on releases

git clone --depth 1 --brach TAG git@github.com:tecnaviapress/newsmemory-android-sdk.git

if you already has the module you could update to another release by the following commands

cd newsmemory-android-sdk
git checkout tags/TAG

Installation

Project Gradle

check main gradle repositories and dependencies

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        gradlePluginPortal()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.2"
        classpath "com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.4"
        //add crashlytics only if the aar file is included
        classpath "com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.3.0"
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.5.0"

    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        mavenLocal()
        gradlePluginPortal()
        maven {
            url "https://jitpack.io"
        }

        //If photodraweeview:1.1.3 for some reason is not available from Maven force this version
        configurations.all {
            resolutionStrategy {
                force "me.relex:photodraweeview:2.1.0"
            }
        }
    }
}

if you are using sdk for amazon and it is built for it add the following maven repository

maven { 
    url "https://s3.amazonaws.com/android-listener/mvn-repo" 
}

you could customize all dependencies version by updating the following variables, !pay attention, because the sdk may not starts or works properly add these variables to ext object in main gradle file, see below example.

variable	default	Description
compileSdk	33
targetSdk	33
minSdk	24

ext {
    compileSdk = 34
    androidxVersion = "1.4.0"
    ...
}

Settings Gradle

include ':newsmemory-android-sdk'

App Gradle

add the following lines if missing

apply plugin: "com.google.gms.google-services"
//add crashlytics only if the aar file is included
apply plugin: 'com.google.firebase.crashlytics'

Add fragment to activity

public class YourActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    private TaFragment taFragment;
    ...
    
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        if(taFragment == null) {
            taFragment = new TaFragment()
                .setDelegate(new TaFragmentDelegate() {
                    @Override
                    public void recreate() {
                        YourActivity.this.recreate();
                    }

                    @Override
                    public boolean isActionModeVisible() {
                        return false;
                    }

                    @Override
                    public boolean handleClose(){
                        //TODO implement it and return true if you consume the event
                        return false;
                    }

                    @Override
                    public boolean handleOpenUrl(String url){
                        //TODO implement it and return true if you consume the event
                        return false;
                    }

                    @Override
                    public boolean handleTrackAction(Bundle data){
                        //TODO implement it and return true if you consume the event
                        return false;
                    }
                    
                    @Override
                    public boolean handleTokenExpired(){
	                    //TODO implement it and return true if you consume the event
                        return false;
                    }
                })
                .setBuildProps(getBuildProps());
        } else {
            taFragment = (TaFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("TA_FRAGMENT");
        }
         
        getSupportFragmentManager()
                .beginTransaction()
                .replace(R.id.rnFragment, taFragment, "TA_FRAGMENT")
                .commit();
    }

    public Bundle getBuildProps() {
        Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
        bundle.putString(TaConstants.TA_PSETUP, "replace_with_psetup");
        bundle.putString(TaConstants.TA_MACHINE, "replace_with_server");
        bundle.putString(TaConstants.TA_LOCALE, "en");
        bundle.putString(TaConstants.TA_TOKEN, "replace with a valid token");
        //the value inside R.string will be avilable after first build
        bundle.putString(TaConstants.TA_APP_VERSION_NAME, getString(com.tecnavia.sdk.R.string.APP_VERSION_NAME));
        bundle.putString(TaConstants.TA_APP_VERSION_CODE, getString(com.tecnavia.sdk.R.string.APP_VERSION_CODE));
        bundle.putString(TaConstants.TA_ANDROID_APP_ID,getString(com.tecnavia.sdk.R.string.ANDROID_APP_ID));
        bundle.putString(TaConstants.TA_APP_NAME, getString(com.tecnavia.sdk.R.string.APP_NAME));
        //must be true otherwise the module doesn't work in SDK mode
        bundle.putBoolean(TaConstants.TA_IS_ADDON, true);
        bundle.putString(TaConstants.TA_API_KEY, "Required to be authorized");
        
        // Specify the device type for the TA_LOCKED_ORIENTATION. If not provided, all devices will use TA_LOCKED_ORIENTATION.
        bundle.putString(TaConstants.TA_LOCKED_ORIENTATION_DEVICE, "tablet|phone");

        // Define the orientation for the app. If not specified, the app will use its default behavior.
        bundle.putString(TaConstants.TA_LOCKED_ORIENTATION, "portrait|landscape");
        return bundle;
    }
}

the following constant is required by SDK to be authorized

	bundle.putString(TaConstants.TA_API_KEY, "");

the following constants are required by SDK otherwise there will be some inconsinstecies and bugs

    bundle.putString(TaConstants.TA_APP_VERSION_NAME, getString(com.tecnavia.sdk.R.string.APP_VERSION_NAME));
    bundle.putString(TaConstants.TA_APP_VERSION_CODE, getString(com.tecnavia.sdk.R.string.APP_VERSION_CODE));
    bundle.putString(TaConstants.TA_ANDROID_APP_ID,getString(com.tecnavia.sdk.R.string.ANDROID_APP_ID));
    bundle.putString(TaConstants.TA_APP_NAME, getString(com.tecnavia.sdk.R.string.APP_NAME));
    bundle.putBoolean(TaConstants.TA_IS_ADDON, true);

The activity that load TaFragment must implement the following interface DefaultHardwareBackBtnHandler

public class YourActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements DefaultHardwareBackBtnHandler {
    ...
    
    @Override
    public void invokeDefaultOnBackPressed() {
        //TODO handle finish
    }
}

you could extends activity class with TaActivity that already has an implementation of DefaultHardwareBackBtnHandler but also add some other methods to force locale.

public class YourActivity extends TaActivity {
    ...
}

Troubleshooting Guide

Google Play Services Build Issues: If you encounter build issues related to Google Play Services versions, consider adding the following setting to your build.gradle file:

android {
    ...
    googleServices {
        disableVersionCheck = true
    }
    ...
}

Java Base Access Error: If you receive an error during the build process that reads Unable to make field private final java.lang.String java.io.File.path accessible: module java.base does not "opens java.io" to unnamed module, add the --add-opens=java.base/java.io=ALL-UNNAMED option to the org.gradle.jvmargs entry in your gradle.properties file:

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 --add-opens=java.base/java.io=ALL-UNNAMED

Orientation Change Crash: If your application crashes when the orientation changes, add the following attributes to your activity in the Android manifest:

configChanges="...|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"

For more information, refer to this GitHub issue comment.

Background or Awakening Crash: If your application crashes when it moves to the background or wakes up, try adding the following to your activity:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(null);
}
