Installation Instructions:

Steps to Install Acquire with all required dependencies

Add the following dependency to your app's build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.1.1'
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
    implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
    implementation 'com.android.support:support-emoji-appcompat:27.1.1'
    implementation('io.socket:socket.io-client:1.0.0') {
        exclude group: 'org.json', module: 'json'
    }
    implementation 'com.acquireio:core:1.+'
}

For our sdk you will need to add these lines to your project's build.gradle.

// Add these lines to your project gradle:
   
allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url "http://107.155.116.28:8086/artifactory/libs-release-local"
        }
    }
}

Setup and Configuration

• Our installation guide contains full setup and initialisation instructions.
• The configuration guide provides info on how to configure Acquire for Android.
• Please contact us on Acquire with any questions you may have, we're only a message away!

Permissions

We include the INTERNET permission by default as we need it to make network requests:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

Run-time permissions:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />

It will ask audio/video permissions when required to make a video call.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

These permissions needed when an attachment is selected to share from the app.

Building

• Make sure you've installed the Android 7.1.1 SDK and upgraded to the latest version of Android Studio
• Make sure you've updated all support repository and Google Play Services repository packages in the Android SDK manager
• See the configuration and clone the environment into your project to run our Acquire chat sdk.

Note : If you are using gradle Plugin version 3.0 then use implementation instead of compile.
For release apk if you want to give support to arm-v7 ABI only then use "'com.acquireio:core-arm-v7a:1.+'" instead of "'com.acquireio:core:1.+'". to reduce apk size.

And that's it 👍 Voila!! You had integrated whole chat module in few minutes.
