Implementing the PureCloud Platform Client SDK in Android Studio 2.1.3

The PureCloud Platform Client SDK is a powerful tool for integrating cloud-based communication services into your Android applications. However, implementing it can be challenging, especially for those who are new to Android development or unfamiliar with the SDK. In this article, we will provide a step-by-step guide on how to implement the PureCloud Platform Client SDK in Android Studio 2.1.3.

First and foremost, you need to add the following dependencies to your project's build.gradle file:

```java

Implementation 'com.mypurecloud:platform-client-v2:100.0.0'

```

```java

Implementation 'com.mypurecloud:platform-client-v2:146.0.2'

```

Make sure that you have the correct version of the SDK installed in your project.

Next, you need to create an instance of the ApiClient class and set up the base path for your API requests:

```java

ApiClient apiClient = ApiClient().withBasePath(region).build();

```

However, many developers encounter issues when trying to execute this code. One common error is a failed resolution of the Lcom/fasterxml/jackson/databind/ObjectMapper class. This can be resolved by adding the following dependencies to your project's build.gradle file:

```java

Implementation 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.13.0'

```

Another common issue is that the SDK may not resolve properly, resulting in a message saying 'Unable to resolve dependency for Could not resolve com.mypurecloud:platform-client-v2:146.0.2'. This can be resolved by checking the link provided in the SDK documentation and making sure that you are using the correct version of the SDK.

If you still encounter issues after trying these solutions, it may be worth considering alternative approaches or seeking help from a qualified Android developer.

Finally, it's important to note that the PureCloud Platform Client SDK is designed for use with Maven, which can make integration easier. However, if you prefer to use Gradle, you can do so by adding the following dependency to your project's build.gradle file:

```java

maven {

url 'https://maven.purecloud.com/content/purecloud/'

}

```

In conclusion, implementing the PureCloud Platform Client SDK in Android Studio 2.1.3 requires careful attention to detail and a solid understanding of Android development principles. By following these steps and troubleshooting common issues, you should be able to successfully integrate the SDK into your project and start building powerful cloud-based communication services.
