Customer.io Android SDK

This is the official Customer.io SDK for Android.

Getting started

The SDK supports both Kotlin and Java.

To get started, you need to install and initialize the relevant SDK packages in your project. We've separated our SDK into packages to minimize our impact on your app's size. You should only install the packages that you need for your project.

Tip: Check out our sample android app, Remote Habits, for a example of how to use our SDK.

Install the SDK

Before you add Customer.io dependencies, update your repositories in the settings.gradle file to include mavenCentral():

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

Or if you're using an earlier project setup, in your root level build.gradle file, make sure that you have mavenCentral() added as a repository:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()        
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

Available SDKs

We separated our SDK into packages to minimize our impact on your app's size. You should only install the packages that you need for your project.

Package Required? Description
tracking Yes identify people/devices and send events (to trigger campaigns, track metrics, etc).
messaging-push-fcm No Push and rich push notifications using Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).
implementation 'io.customer.android:tracking:<version-here>'
implementation 'io.customer.android:messaging-push-fcm:<version-here>'

Replace version-here with the the latest version: Maven Central

Initialize the SDK

Before you can use the Customer.io SDK, you need to initialize it. CustomerIO is a singleton: once created it will be re-used, until you decide to reconfigure and recreate the instance.

class App : Application() {
   override fun onCreate() {
       super.onCreate()
      val customerIO = CustomerIO.Builder(
            siteId = "your-site-id",
            apiKey = "your-api-key",
            appContext = this
        ).build()


   }
}

The Builder for CustomerIO exposes configuration options for features such region,timeout.

        val builder = CustomerIO.Builder(
            siteId = "YOUR-SITE-ID",
            apiKey = "YOUR-API-KEY",
            appContext = this
        )
        builder.setRegion(Region.EU)
        // set the request timeout for all the API requests sent from SDK
        builder.setRequestTimeout(8000L)
        builder.build()

A best practice is to initialize CustomerIO in the Application class, this way you will be able to access that instance from any part of your application using the instance() method.
