Swiftype Android Example App for Swiftype Site Search

This example app shows how easy it is to get started with SwiftypeAndroid to add Swiftype-powered Site Search to your Android application.

Note: This client has been developed for the Swiftype Site Search API endpoints only. You may refer to the Swiftype Site Search API Documentation for additional context.

To run the sample application:

1. Check out the code.

2. Check out the SwiftypeAndroid git submodule.

   git submodule init git submodule update

3. Start the Android Studio and open the SwiftypeAndroidExample/SwiftypeAndroidExample project.

4. Add SwiftypeAndroidExample/SwiftypeAndroid as a module.

5. Go to File -> Project Structure. Click SwiftypeAndroid -> Dependencies. Select "Export" on all Android Support libraries and apply the new settings. You should now be able to compile the project.

6. Edit the SwiftypeAndroidExample/res/values/swiftype_config.xml file:

   1. Set your Engine Key in the engine_key parameter
   2. Update the search_content_provider_authority to be unique for your application.
   3. Set the document_types parameter value to @array/crawler_based if using a crawler-based engine or @array/wordpress if using a WordPress plugin-based engine.

   NOTE: If you make changes to the swiftype_config.xml file after the first run, make sure to increment the database_version.

7. Click the Run button to launch the emulator.

Don't have a crawler-based or WordPress-based search engine yet? Go to swiftype.com, sign up if you haven't yet, and create a new engine.
