Getting Started

Before You Begin#

This SDK is stored in the private maven repo and developed for use with the Cloudike Backend. If you need access, please Contacts Us.

Requirements#

Installation#

To enable library in your app, you should add a link to our private repository in the application-level Gradle file (usually app / build.gradle). Then, add a dependency for the libraries cloudikecontacts и cloudikelog as shown below:

// ...repositories {      // ...    maven {        url "https://rt.cloudike.com/artifactory/libs-release-local"        credentials {            username = "${artifactory_username}"            password = "${artifactory_password}"        }    }}
// ...dependencies {    implementation "com.cloudike.cloudikecleaner:cloudikecleaner:5.0.2"    implementation "com.cloudike.cloudikelog:cloudikelog:1.2.2"}

Initialization#

Initialization is performed in two stages.

Stage 1. Initialize library#

The best place for the first stage is the method Application.onCreate(). The first step is to initialize the library Logger. 

private lateinit var contactManager: ContactManagerprivate lateinit var photoManager: PhotoManager
override fun onCreate() {    super.onCreate()    // ... 
    // Initialize logger first because Contact SDK uses it    Logger.init(applicationContext)    Logger.setDebugMode(true)
    // Optionaly    // initRxErrorHandler()
    // Initialize library    ContactManager.initInstance(        context = applicationContext,        competitionMode = ContactManager.CompetitionMode.STANDALONE,        competitorPackageName = "com.package.name.sample_package",        canScheduleBackup = true,        allowNetworkUsageInRoaming = true)      // To use the photo cleaner function, you need to call    PhotoManager.initInstance(        context = applicationContext,        competitionMode = PhotoManager.CompetitionMode.INTEGRATION,        competitorPackageName = "com.cloudike.NO_COMPETITOR_APP",        enablePeriodicScans = true)
    cleanerManager = CleanerManager    photoManager = PhotoManager
    // ...}

Lastly, initialize the contacts library using the method ContactManager.initInstance().

If you need to use the custom parameters SSL Socket Factory and Trust Manager, use the following guide.

Stage 2. Preparation for work.#

After user has logged in, it is necessary to call ContactManager.prepareToWork() for work:

CleanerManager.prepareToWork(    baseUrl = "Base URL of the backend",    token = "Mountbit-Auth token received after user login",    profileId = "User profile id",    userAgent = "User agent string",    deviceId = "Unique device id")

Also, to use the photo cleaner function, you need to call ContactManager.prepareToWork():

PhotoManager.prepareToWork(    baseUrl = "Base URL of the backend",    token = "Mountbit-Auth token received after user login",    profileId = "User profile id",    userAgent = "User agent string",    deviceId = "Unique device id")

Optionally: initialization of the RxJava2 error handler#

To log errors that occur in RxJava2, using in Photo SDK, it is advisable to initialize the handler:

private fun initRxErrorHandler() {    RxJavaPlugins.setErrorHandler(Consumer { exception ->        var e: Throwable? = exception        if (e is UndeliverableException) {            e = e.cause        }        if (e is OnErrorNotImplementedException) {            // error received by observer that does not provide onError handler            if (e.cause != null) {                e = e.cause            }        }        if (e is IOException || e is SocketException) {            // fine, irrelevant network problem or API that throws on cancellation            Logger.main().i("RxErrorHandler", "Exception caught", e)            return@Consumer        }        if (e is InterruptedException) {            // fine, some blocking code was interrupted by a dispose call            Logger.main().i("RxErrorHandler", "Exception caught", e)            return@Consumer        }        if (e is NullPointerException                || e is IllegalArgumentException                || e is UnsupportedOperationException) {            // that's likely a bug in the application            Logger.main().e("RxErrorHandler", "Exception caught", e)            Thread.currentThread().uncaughtExceptionHandler                    .uncaughtException(Thread.currentThread(), e)            return@Consumer        }        if (e is IllegalStateException) {            Logger.main().e("RxErrorHandler", "Exception caught", e)            // that's a bug in RxJava or in a custom operator            Thread.currentThread().uncaughtExceptionHandler                   .uncaughtException(Thread.currentThread(), e)            return@Consumer        }        Logger.main().w("RxErrorHandler",                        "Undeliverable exception received, not sure what to do", e)    })}
