Drift

Drift is the official Drift SDK for Android

Deprecated – Please see https://devdocs.drift.com/ for more details on how to integrate Drift with your application

Features:

• Create conversations from your app
• View past conversations from your app.

Getting Setup

Installation

Drift uses Jitpack for its releases

Add Jitpack to your root build.gradle file

allprojects {
	repositories {	
		maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
	}
}

You can then add drift as a dependency in your app build.gradle file

dependencies {
	compile 'com.github.driftt:drift-sdk-android:v1.2.10'
}

Registering

To get started with the Drift SDK you need the embed ID from your Drift settings page. This can be accessed here by looking after the drift.load method in the Javascript SDK.

For devices running API level 19 you will need to call ProviderInstaller.installIfNeeded(this); in your initial activity before registering with Drift due to a change in certificates.

In your Application onCreate method call:

Drift.setupDrift(this, "");

Once your user has successfully logged into the app registering a user with the device is done by calling register user with a unique identifier, typically the id from your database, and their email address:

Drift.registerUser("123748", "sample@drift.com");

When your user logs out simply call logout so they stop receiving messages.

Drift.logout();

Messaging

A user can begin a conversation in response to a campaign or by presenting the conversations list:

Drift.showConversationActivity();

You can also go directly to create a new conversation using:

Drift.showCreateConversationActivity();

That's it. You're good to go!!

Customisation

Configuring the colors used within the app can be done here

To configure the accent color used in the SDK you should define a color attribute in your apps color resource file.

<color name="driftColorAccent">#157AFB</color>
