In this guide we'll explain how to use feature toggles in an Android application using Unleash's [Android Proxy SDK](https://github.com/Unleash/unleash-android-proxy-sdk) and the [Unleash Proxy](https://github.com/Unleash/unleash-proxy).

# Step 1: Install the proxy SDK

The Android proxy SDK requires the Unleash Proxy to function. You'll need the proxy's URL and a configured proxy secret. Refer to the [proxy documentation](/sdks/unleash-proxy) for how to set it up and [how to configure the proxy secrets](/sdks/unleash-proxy#configuration-variables).

# Step 4: Configure the Client
### Step 4: Configure the Client

To create a client, use the `UnleashConfig.newBuilder` method. When building a configuration, you'll need to provide it with:
- `proxyUrl`: the URL your proxy is available at
- `clientSecret`: the [proxy secret](/sdks/unleash-proxy#configuration-variables) you wish to use
- `pollMode`: how you want to load the toggle status

Configuring the client includes adding the URL for your proxy host, your proxy secret and deciding how you want to load the toggle status. As of v0.1 the SDK supports an automatic polling with an adjustable poll period or loading the state from disk. Most users will probably use the polling client, but it's nice to know that you can instantiate your client without actually needing Internet if you choose loading from File

### Step 6: Use the feature toggle

Now that we have initialized the proxy SDK we can start using feature toggles defined in Unleash in our application. To achieve this we have the “isEnabled” method available, which will allow us to check the value of a feature toggle. This method will return true or false based on whether the feature should be enabled or disabled for the current state.

When using the AutoPoll mode you are able to pass in a listener which will get notified everytime our toggles changes, allowing you to recheck your toggles.

- clientKey: the proxy key [String]
- refreshInterval: the polling interval in seconds [Int]

- `refreshInterval` (`Int`)

The polling interval in seconds.

- `appName` (`String`)

- `environment` (`String`)

The application environment. This corresponds to the environment field in [the Unleash Context](../user_guide/unleash-context.md). Note that this is separate from the newer [Environments feature](../user_guide/environments.md).

Running `unleash.start()` will make the first request against the proxy and retrieve the feature toggle configuration, and set up the polling interval in the background.

In this guide we explain how to use feature toggles in a Single Page App via [The Unleash Proxy](/sdks/unleash-proxy). You can also checkout the source code for the [JavaScript Proxy SDK](https://github.com/unleash/unleash-proxy-client-js).

### Introduction {#introduction}
## Introduction {#introduction}

For single-page apps we have a tiny proxy-client in JavaScript, without any external dependencies, except from browser APIs. This client will store toggles relevant for the current user in local-storage and synchronize with the Unleash Proxy in the background. This means we can bootstrap the toggles for a specific use the next time the user visits the web-page.

> We are looking in to also [supporting react-native](https://github.com/Unleash/unleash/issues/785) with this SDK. Reach out if you want to help us validate the implementation.

## Initialize the client

The snippet below shows you how to initialize the client. We recommend that you do this in your entry point file (typically index.js/ts) to ensure that you only have _one_ instance of it.

The configuration variables are:
- **`url`**

Your proxy's URL.
- **`clientKey`**

One of your proxy's [designated client keys (also known as proxy secrets)](unleash-proxy#configuration-variables).

- **`refreshInterval`**

```js
How often (in seconds) the client should poll the proxy for updates.

- **`appName`**

The name of your application. It's only used for identifying your application and can be whatever you want it to be.

- **`environment`**

The environment that your application runs in. This corresponds to the environment field in [the Unleash Context](../user_guide/unleash-context.md). Note that this is separate from the newer [Environments feature](../user_guide/environments.md).

The Unleash Proxy is Open Source and [available on github](https://github.com/Unleash/unleash-proxy). You can either run it as a docker image or as part of a [node.js express application](https://github.com/Unleash/unleash-proxy#run-with-nodejs).

The easies way to run Unleash is via Docker. We have published a [docker image on docker hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/unleashorg/unleash-proxy).
### Configuration variables

Regardless of how you choose to run the it, the proxy will need access to these three variables:

- **`unleashUrl`** / **`UNLEASH_URL`**

The URL of your Unleash instance's API. For instance, to connect to the [Unleash demo app](https://app.unleash-hosted.com/demo/), you would use `https://app.unleash-hosted.com/demo/api/`

- **`unleashApiToken`** / **`UNLEASH_API_TOKEN`**

The API token to connect to your Unleash project. For more information on how these work and how to create them, check out the [API token documentation](../user_guide/token.md).

- **`proxySecrets`** / **`UNLEASH_PROXY_SECRETS`**

A list of client keys that the proxy will accept. For the proxy to accept an incoming request, the client must use one of these keys for authorization. In client SDKs, this is usually known as a `clientKey` or a `clientSecret`. If you query the proxy directly via HTTP, this is the `authorization` header.

When using an environment variable to set the proxy secrets, the value should be a comma-separated list of strings, such as `secret-one,secret-two`.

For more information, check out the [documentation on GitHub](https://github.com/Unleash/unleash-proxy).
