Getting started

Jacquard™ by Google weaves new digital experiences into the things you love, wear, and use every day to give you the power to do more and be more. Jacquard SDK is a way to connect Jacquard interactions within your apps. Create an app and bring it to life with swipes and taps through the Jacquard SDK.

What do I need to get started?

The Android Jacquard SDK supports Android versions 23 and greater.

You will need the Jacquard Tag with a supported Jacquard product (all come with one tag). Currently supported products are:

• Levi's Trucker Jacket
• Samsonite Konnect-i backpack
• Saint Laurent Cit-e Backpack

You can find links to purchase these products on the Google Jacquard website.

Sample App

To run the example project,

• Clone the git repo
• To enable firmware updating, you should obtain a Jacquard API Key:
  • Obtain a Jacquard API Key (here)
  • Edit sample/gradle.properties and enter your API Key in the appropriate place:

    ApiKey=
    

  (You may also notice a placeholder for a Google Maps API Key - you may want one later to enable the Places demo feature in the sample app)
• Launch Android Studio and open the sample directory in your checkout of the repository
• You can now build and run the Jacquard sample app on your device

Next Steps

The best way to get started with the Jacquard SDK is to follow our tutorial.

Once you have completed the tutorial, the best place to go next is the API Overview which will explain the features of your Jacquard tag and gear, and how to use the API. After that, check out the API Documentation (available in the table of contents on the left of every page) and build your awesome app.

Full documentation including a tutorial is available here.
