Get Started with Android

Chartboost Core Android SDK is designed as an entry point to manage and facilitate different modules for your Android application. Each module can be individually initialized with metrics collected and reported to offer detailed insights into the module’s performance and potential issues.

The main functionalities provided by the SDK are:

1. Initialization of individual or a set of modules.
2. Performance metrics collection during the module initialization process.
3. Detailed error tracking and reporting with categorized error codes.
4. Centralized logging system with multiple log levels and output options.

Minimum Supported Development Tools 🔗

Add the Chartboost Core SDK to your project 🔗

For build.gradle

repositories {
    maven {
      name "Chartboost Core's maven repo"
      url "https://cboost.jfrog.io/artifactory/chartboost-core"
    }
}
dependencies {
    implementation("com.chartboost:chartboost-core-sdk:1.0.0")
}

Add 3rd-Party Dependencies 🔗

implementation("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-common:2.6.2")
implementation("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-extensions:2.2.0")
implementation("com.jakewharton.retrofit:retrofit2-kotlinx-serialization-converter:1.0.0")
implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect:1.8.10")
implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:1.9.21")
implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-android:1.7.3")
implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-json:1.5.1")
implementation("com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:4.11.0")
implementation("com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:4.11.0")
implementation("com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-scalars:2.9.0")
implementation("com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.9.0")

Add Google Play Services 🔗

Add the Google Play Services Library as a dependency of your project. For detailed instructions, reference the official integration instructions for Google Play Services.

As opposed to referencing the entire Google Play Services package, you only need play-services-base, play-services-ads-identifier, and play-services-appset:

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:18.1.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-identifier:18.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-appset:16.0.2'
