ContentBox-Android

This application allows for the distribution of content. The content itself, as well as the format it is accessible in is configured through a Kinvey application.

In particular this sample application highlights the following key backend tasks:

• Configurable App experience through Kinvey
• In memory caching of data
• Offline storage

Set up ContentBox Project

1. Download the ContentBox project.
2. Download the latest Kinvey library (zip) and extract the downloaded zip file, from: http://devcenter.kinvey.com/android/downloads

###Android Studio

1. In Android Studio, go to File → New → Import Project

2. Browse to the extracted zip from step 1, and click OK

3. Click Next and Finish.

4. Copy all jars in the libs/ folder of the Kinvey Android library zip to the lib/ folder at the root of the project

5. Within the Top-level build.gradle script, add the following repository:

   repositories {
       maven { url "http://dl.bintray.com/populov/maven" }
   }
   

6. Click the play button to start a build, if you still see compilation errors ensure the versions are correctly defined in the dependencies list

###Finally, for all IDEs
