Commented's Mobile SDK for Android allows you to integrate Commented's commenting and collaboration features seamlessly into your Android application. With this SDK, you can provide a collaborative environment for your app users to leave comments and feedback right within your mobile app.

Mobile SDK Installation for Android: A Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these steps to install Commented's Mobile SDK on your Android application:

Step 1: Add the SDK to Your Project

In your project-level build.gradle file, add the mavenCentral repository if it's not already added. If you are using Groovy, modify the build.gradle file; otherwise, if you are using Kotlin DSL, update the settings.gradle.kts file.

buildscript { repositories { mavenCentral() // Add this line if not already present // ... } // ... }

In your app-level build.gradle file, add the SDK dependency:

For Kotlin.dsl

dependencies { // ... implementation("io.commented.android:commented:commented-sdk-version") // Replace 'commented-sdk-version' with the latest. // ... }

For Groovy

dependencies { // ... implementation 'io.commented.android:commented:commented-sdk-version' // Replace 'commented-sdk-version' with the latest. // ... }

Step 2: Sync Gradle

After adding the dependency, sync your project and download the SDK.

You may need to clean and rebuild your project.

Step 3: Initialize the SDK

Here's how you initialize the Commented SDK in the activity you want to use:

For Kotlin

import android.app.Application import com.commented.sdk.CommentedActivity class MyApplication : Application() { override fun onCreate() { super.onCreate() // Initialize the SDK here CommentedActivity(this).setupCommented() } }

For Java

import android.app.Application; import com.commented.sdk.CommentedActivity; public class MyApplication extends Application { @Override public void onCreate() { super.onCreate(); // Initialize the SDK here new CommentedActivity(this).setupCommented(); } }

Step 4: Build and Run Your App

Build and run your Android application to test the integration of the com.commented.sdk.
