Note
Take note of the AppKey and AppSecret that are generated there for use in your
application.
2 Create an application using Android SDK version 21 or later.
3 Add the following .aar files from the ExtremeLocation SDK download as modules in your
application:
•
FootmarksSdk.aar
4 Add the following entries to your dependencies in your application's build.gradle in addition to
the SDK implementation statement.
implementation('com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.1')
implementation('com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:15.0.1')
implementation('com.google.code.gson:gson:2.6.1')
implementation 'org.greenrobot:eventbus:3.1.1'
implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.11.0'
5 Add the following compile options:
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
6 Check out the example project located in the SDK zip to start scanning for beacons.
If targeting your application for Android M (level 23) or higher you are expected to request permissions
on an Activity. ExtremeLocation Android SDK requires one further permission be granted before beacon
scanning can start.
