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

2. Add the dependency

          implementation 'com.github.HenryKenya:session-manager-android:release-version'
  }

Basic use case scenarios

Once installed, the following common tasks can be done using the library

1. Start a session Typically done on user login. Once you have successfully gotten back token from user, you can use the utility library to begin a session like so:

`SessionManagerUtil.startUserSession(this, 60)`

Context and expiry time in seconds are required in order to start the session

2. Check if session is active To check if current user session is active, call the util's isSessionActive method which return a true if the session is still active

`SessionManagerUtil.isSessionActive(currentTime, this)`

Requires that you pass in the currentTime in date format and the context

3. Store user token To store user token, pass the context and token value e.g. SessionManagerUtil.storeUserToken(this, "randomUserToken")

4. Retrive user token To retrieve user token, pass context and call the method getUserToken e.g. SessionManagerUtil.getUserToken(this)

5. End user session To end the user session, call endUserSessionMethod passing in the context e.g. SessionManagerUtil.endUserSession(this)
