Create a new app in PAXSTORE, and get AppKey and AppSecret from app detail page in developer center.

Step 2: Initialization

Configuring the application element, edit AndroidManifest.xml, it will have an application element. You need to configure the android:name attribute to point to your Application class (put the full name with package if the application class package is not the same as manifest root element declared package)

<application
    android:name=".BaseApplication"
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

Initializing AppKey,AppSecret and SN

Please note, make sure you have put your own app's AppKey and AppSecret correctly

public class BaseApplication extends Application {

    private static final String TAG = BaseApplication.class.getSimpleName();
    
    //todo make sure to replace with your own app's appKey and appSecret
    private String appkey = "Your APPKEY";
    private String appSecret = "Your APPSECRET";
    
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        initStoreSdk();
    }
    
    private void initStoreSdk() {
       //todo Init AppKey，AppSecret, make sure the appKey and appSecret is corret.
        StoreSdk.getInstance().init(getApplicationContext(), appkey, appSecret, new BaseApiService.Callback() {
            @Override
            public void initSuccess() {
               //TODO Do your business here
            }

            @Override
            public void initFailed(RemoteException e) {
               //TODO Do failed logic here
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Cannot get API URL from STORE client, Please install STORE client first.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });

FAQ

1. How to resolve dependencies conflict?

When dependencies conflict occur, the error message may like below:

Program type already present: xxx.xxx.xxx

Solution:

You can use exclude() method to exclude the conflict dependencies by group or module or both.

e.g. To exclude 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.5' in SDK, you can use below:

implementation ('com.whatspos.sdk:paxstore-3rd-app-android-sdk:x.xx.xx'){
    exclude group: 'com.google.code.gson', module: 'gson'
}

2. How to resolve attribute conflict?

When attribute conflict occur, the error message may like below:

Manifest merger failed : Attribute application@allowBackup value=(false) from 
AndroidManifest.xml...
is also present at [com.whatspos.sdk:paxstore-3rd-app-android-sdk:x.xx.xx] 
AndroidManifest.xml...
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:allowBackup"' to <application> element
at AndroidManifest.xml:..

Solution:

Add xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" in your manifest header

   <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        package="com.yourpackage"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

Add tools:replace = "the confilct attribute" to your application tag:

    <application
        ...
        tools:replace="allowBackup"/>
