Probe API installation
UP TO DATE
Android Probe API
Installation in your project libraries or in a Maven repository
Download the aar
library from the GREENSPECTOR Modules page on the Web Interface and install it:
- either in the
libs
folder of your Android project; - or in a local or remote Maven repository.
Example for a local Maven repository:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=greenspector-probe-android-[version].aar -DgroupId=com.greenspector.probe.android -DartifactId=greenspector-probe-android -Dversion=[version] -Dpackaging=aar
Integration in your Android project
If you have installed the library in the libs
folder of your Android project
Add the dependency in your project's module build.gradle file:
dependencies { compile files('libs/greenspector-probe-android-[version].aar') }
If you have installed the library in a Maven repository
Check your Maven repository is configured inside the project's build.gradle file.
Example for a local Maven repository:
repositories { mavenLocal() }
Add the dependency in your project's module build.gradle file:
dependencies { compile ('com.greenspector.probe.android:greenspector-probe-android:[version]') }
Android project configuration
In order to be able to correctly use the Probe API you need to add some permissions in your application's AndroidManifest.xml file.
- Permission to use Internet (to send the results to the GREENSPECTOR Server):
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
- Permissions to read and write on the SD Card (to read and write results files):
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
IMPORTANT
From Android 6.0 (API level 23), some permissions are considered dangerous.
The permissions android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
and android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
must be granted explicitly via ADB commands for the measures to run correctly.
First install your application on your mobile, then launch the following commands to grant permissions:
adb shell pm grant com.example.myapp android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE adb shell pm grant com.example.myapp android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
