Core SDK

The base Android Cloudike SDK — shared infrastructure the other Android SDKs may depend on.

Applies to Core SDK 5.5.2+

Installation

Declare Cloudike's private Maven repository in your project's settings.gradle.kts (artifactory_username/artifactory_password are credentials provided by Cloudike, set in your own gradle.properties):

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url = uri("https://rt.cloudike.com/artifactory/libs-release-local")
            credentials {
                username = settings.extra.properties["artifactory_username"].toString()
                password = settings.extra.properties["artifactory_password"].toString()
            }
        }
    }
}

Add core to your app module's build.gradle.kts and sync the project:

dependencies {
    implementation("com.cloudike.sdk:core:<version>")
}

Supports Android API level 24 (Android 7.0) and above.

Initialization

import com.cloudike.sdk.core.CoreManager

val coreContext = CoreManager.build(applicationContext)

Builds the shared CoreContext — typically once, from Application.onCreate(). Every other Cloudike Android SDK requires this same CoreContext instance for its own initialization. It isn't authenticated yet — start a session on it before using it, or any dependent SDK built from it.

First API Call

import kotlinx.coroutines.runBlocking

runBlocking {
    coreContext.sessionManager.start(
        reset = false,
        baseUrl = "https://your-backend.example.com/", // your Cloudike backend endpoint
        accessToken = accessToken, // from your sign-in flow
        userId = userId,           // from your sign-in flow
        userAgent = "YourApp/1.0",
    )
}

println("Session active: ${coreContext.sessionManager.isSessionActive}")

Starts the user session with your own credentials. isSessionActive becomes true once the session is active — confirming Core SDK is ready for use by itself or by any dependent SDK. baseUrl/accessToken/userId/userAgent come from your own sign-in flow — the values shown are placeholders.
