Android Setup
Minimum supported version is android 4.04 api 15
Maximum supported version is android 13 api 33
This is best done in Android Studio but if not installed can be done by looking at the android folder of your flutter native project
1. In your root-level (project-level) Gradle file (
build.gradle
), add rules to include the Maven Central repository.buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral() // add the maven central repository
maven {
url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/'
}
}
}
2. Declare the Smile ID android SDK in your root level Gradle file (usually
build.gradle
).dependencies {
classpath group: 'com.smileidentity', name: 'smile-id-android', version: '1.0.1'
}
3. In your module (app-level) Gradle file (usually
app/build.gradle
), apply the Smile ID android plugin:apply plugin: 'com.smileidentity.smile-id-android'
4. In your module (app-level) Gradle file (usually
app/build.gradle
), add the Smile ID UI and SDK dependanciesimplementation 'com.smileidentity:smile-id-ui:<latest_version>'
implementation 'com.smileidentity:smile-id-sdk:<latest_version>'
implementation 'com.smileidentity:netjava:<latest_version>'// currently (0.0.8)
NB: If you have already integrated with the Android SDK only Remove the reference to the Smile ID dependency as the Smile UI will automatically pull the correct version in. and also remember to check the latest version here
Add the following permissions if they do not exist already
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
Add the following activities under the application tag
<!--id capture-->
<activity android:name="com.smileid.smileidui.SIDIDCaptureActivity" />
<!--selfie capture-->
<activity android:name="com.smileid.smileidui.SIDSelfieCaptureActivity" />
<!--selfie review screen-->
<activity android:name="com.smileid.smileidui.SIDReviewActivity" />
If using Proguard, then please add the following proguard rule to your rules file (usually called
proguard-rules.pro
)-keep class com.smileidentity.** { *; }
That's it android is ready!
