A8Chat Android SDK

Getting Started​

Follow the instructions given below to get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine to integrate the Android SDK.

Installation​

Step 1: Add the maven repository to your build file. Add it in your root build.gradle at the begining.

allprojects {
  repositories {
      ...
        maven {
             url "https://maven.autonom8.com/artifactory/public"
              }
      }
  }

Step 2: Add the dependency to app build.gradle.

implementation 'com.autonom8:a8chat:1.1.0'

Step 3: Now, sync the project.

✅ That's it! The first time you request a project Maven checks out the code, builds it and serves the build artifacts.

Using the A8Chat​

Step 1: Initialize the Bot with your credentials.

Bot bot = new Bot.Builder(context) // Activity context
          .setAppKey("<< App key >>")
          .setBotHandle("<< handler >>")
          .setDisplayName("<< display name for the user >>")
          .setOrgId("<< org id >>")
          .setEmail("<< email >>")
          .setEnvironment(Bot.BotEnvironment.TESTING)
          .build();

Mandatory Fileds are AppKey, BotHandler, and OrgId.

Environment must be specified as TESTING, STAGING and PROD.

ℹ️ Default environment is PROD

Step 2: Call load method to launch a8-chat.

bot.load();
