Introduction
Prerequisites
Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.6.
Android SDK.
This library currently supports Android 2.3.3 and higher.
An IDE (like Eclipse or Android Studio), with ADT installed.
Get an Application Key
Request a new application key to the Kiwi Team
Import the library
Using gradle
Include the import on your build.gradle file:
compile ('com.movile.kiwi:kiwi-sdk-android:VERSION@aar') {
transitive = true
}Using jar
Get the lastest version of jar:
https://nexus-android.it.movile.com/nexus/service/local/artifact/maven/redirect?r=releases&g=com.movile.kiwi&a=kiwi-sdk-android&v=VERSION&e=jarPut the jar on your project's library folder and add to the classpath.
When using jar, you need to resolve the dependencies manually:
com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.1.0 (or newer)
com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:8.1.0 (or newer)
com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.0 (or newer)
Enabling debug logs
/adbLocation/./adb shell setprop log.tag.KIWI_SDK DEBUGProguard
If you are using proguard into your app, add the following configuration:
// in your build.gradle file
android {
buildTypes {
release {
proguardFile 'proguard-android.pro' // for your app
proguardFile 'proguard-kiwi.pro' // for kiwi
}
}
}Create the file named proguard-kiwi.pro and add the following content:
-keepattributes Exceptions,InnerClasses,Signature,Deprecated,SourceFile,LineNumberTable,*Annotation*,EnclosingMethod
# jackson annotations must be kept
-keep public class org.codehaus.jackson.**annotate.** {
public protected *;
}
-keep class com.movile.kiwi.**
# Kiwi Proguard Keep annotations
-keep public class com.movile.kiwi.sdk.util.proguard.* {
public protected *;
}

</manifest>Initialize the Library
You must initialize the library on your application, as following:
KiwiSDK kiwiSDK = KiwiSDKBuilder.create()
.withContext(this)
.build();You must store the KiwiSDK instance to use in your app. You can build a new instance if needed.
Warnings
Every callback method will run on an isolated thread, other than the thread that initially called the method. For example, when the application calls kiwiSDK.services().discoverCurrentCountry(new MyDiscoverGeolocationListener()); on the main Thread, the onSucess() callback will run on a different Thread, so the application cannot directly perform an UI operation inside it.
What's next
You are now ready to start using kiwi! Next we recommend read the Analytics guide or User guide to learn more about kiwi.
