Build an ideas tracker with Android

Create Android project

Create a Android app with the Android Studio New Project wizard. Select Empty Activity as the template.

Add dependencies

Install the Android Appwrite SDK.

Add the following to your dependencies in the app/build.gradle file:

implementation("io.appwrite:sdk-for-android:5.1.0")

In case you need to create OAuth 2 sessions in the future, the following activity needs to be added inside the <application> tag, along side the existing <activity> tags in your AndroidManifest.xml. Be sure to replace the <PROJECT_ID> string with your actual Appwrite project ID. You can find your Appwrite project ID in you project settings screen in your Appwrite Console.

<manifest ...>
  ...
  <application ...>
    ...
    <!-- Add this inside the `<application>` tag, along side the existing `<activity>` tags -->
    <activity android:name="io.appwrite.views.CallbackActivity" android:exported="true">
      <intent-filter android:label="android_web_auth">
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
        <data android:scheme="appwrite-callback-[PROJECT_ID]" />
      </intent-filter>
    </activity>
  </application>
</manifest>

Using the emulator

Run your app on the Android emulator. You can use the emulator to test your app on different versions of the Android platform and different screen sizes without the need to use physical devices. For now, you should see a blank screen.
