Follow these instructions to manually install the current version of the SDK for Android.
Use these links to download the components for the SDK version 2.96.0 for Android:
For the Miura reader,
drag and drop these files into the
libs
folder of your project:
mpos.android.core.aar
,
mpos.android.ui.aar
,
mpos.java.accessories.miura.jar
,
mpos.android.comlinks.bluetooth.aar
, and
mpos.java.comlinks.tcp.jar
.
The SDK requires multiple third-party libraries to be added. These libraries are available through Maven Central. Add the libraries in the
dependencies
section of your
build.gradle
file:
dependencies {
// Add the *.aar wildcard to include any Android libraries in the libs folder
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar', '*.aar'])
// Kotlin
implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:1.3.20'
// Google services
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:10.2.1'
// Android support libraries
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.squareup:otto:1.3.5'
implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.7.4'
implementation 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.2.1'
implementation 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.5.0'
implementation 'com.couchbase.lite:couchbase-lite-android:1.4.0'
implementation 'com.couchbase.lite:couchbase-lite-android-forestdb:1.4.0'
}
Alternatively, you can add the local
libs
directory as a
repository
in the Repositories section in your
build.gradle
file. Adding the directory enables you to specify the SDK libraries similar to the regular
integration instructions.
repositories {
mavenCentral()
flatDir name: 'localRepository', dirs: 'libs'
}
4. For version
2.45.0
and higher, make sure the app supports Java 8 features by setting the Compatibility levels:
android{
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8
}
}
5. Make sure to update your
AndroidManifest.xml
file to enable a larger heap size by setting
android:largeHeap="true"
. This setting is required to accommodate situations in which an update of the terminals is required and bigger chunks of data are requested and transferred.
