Step 2: Include the SDK into your project

1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file

Add it to your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:


allprojects {
  repositories {
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
  }
}

2. Add the dependency

Add it to your app level build.gradle at the end of dependency:
Check out the Stipop Android SDK Release Notes . We recommend using the latest release.


dependencies {
  /* If your application's min API level is under 21, use 0.7.4 version. */
  implementation 'com.github.stipop-development:stipop-android-sdk:0.9.3-beta.4'

  // Optional //
  // Maybe you need to extend 'MultiDexApplication' at 'Application' class.
  implementation 'androidx.multidex:multidex:{version}'
  // You additionally need to this library, if your project does not configure 'Kotlin'.
  implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:{version}'
}

Step 3: Setup Stipop SDK

1. Setup Stipop.json

Step 1: Create assets folder in app>src>main if you don't have one.

Step 2: Move the Stipop.json file you downloaded from the Dashboard into the assets folder.

Stipop.json contains your API Key. Keep it private. If it gets leaked, make sure to regenerate a new one immediately.

2. Make or update your application class

Call 'Stipop.configure(context)' at application class to initialize the SDK from 'Stipop.json' file. If you want to know about 'Stipop.configure', refer to Optional Settings - Configure
