To add the CONNECT Player to your application, you need to:

Update the build.gradle

The illustrations below show how to modify the build.gradle to work with the Connect Player SDK for Android. For the development tools, current dependencies and minimum build configuration required, see Prerequisites and dependencies.

  1. In Project view, select app > build.gradle. In the android block, ensure compileSdkVersion is set to 32 and minSdkVersion is set to 21.

    ...
android {
  compileSdkVersion 32 // Update this version as per the integration guide
  defaultConfig {
    minSdkVersion 21
    ...
  }
  ...
}
...

  2. Add the following lines to the android block (if not already present):

        compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
    GROOVY

  3. Create a buildScript block with a dependency set for the latest gradle plugin.

    buildscript {
  repositories {
     google()
     mavenCentral()
   }
  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.4' // Update this version as per the integration guide
   }
}
    GROOVY

  4. In the dependencies block, add the following implementations:

            implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.aar'])
        implementation ("com.google.guava:guava:27.1-android") {  // Update this version as per the integration guide
              exclude group: 'com.google.code.findbugs', module: 'jsr305'
              exclude group: 'org.checkerframework', module: 'checker-compat-qual'
              exclude group: 'com.google.errorprone', module: 'error_prone_annotations'
              exclude group: 'com.google.j2objc', module: 'j2objc-annotations'
              exclude group: 'org.codehaus.mojo', module: 'animal-sniffer-annotations'
			}
    GROOVY
  5. On completion, sync the build.gradle.

Next step: Edit the MainActivity file.
