Configure an existing Android project

These steps assume you have a project already created and a

libs

directory in that project. The

libs

directory must not be at the top level of your project. It must be at the same level as your

build.gradle

file.

Download and unzip the

BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher Library

Change the directory to

GoodLauncherLibrary

and copy the file

launcherlib.aar

to the

libs

directory described in the prerequisites below.

Make the following declarations in your

build.gradle

file, as shown in these snippets:

Declare a dependency on the

launcherlib.aar

library and

library:

 dependencies { 
   implementation(name: 'launcherlib', ext: 'aar' 
   implementation(name: 'gd', ext: 'aar')
 }

Declare the

libs

directory as a repository:


 repositories{ 
   flatDir { 
     dirs 'libs' 
     } 
 }

Add the

Android

support library dependencies:

 dependencies { 
   implementation 'com.android.support:support-v13:28.0.0' 
   implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0' 
   implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0' 
   implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:28.0.0'
 }

Copy the BlackBerry Dynamics SDK release .aar file to <your_project_directory>/app/libs/gd.aar.

To build your project with

Gradle

, use either

gradle--info --stacktrace clean assembleDebug

gradle --info --stacktrace clean assembleRelease
