Measurence

Measurence's mission is to transform retail stores into "physical websites", by providing:

1. actionable knowledge about customers behavior into the stores
2. marketing solutions and technologies aimed at improving the customers engagement and loyalty

As a primary source of Knowledge, Measurence install and manages a network of WiFi sensors which collect anonymized and aggregated information about foot traffic within retail stores.

Measurence crunches this information in order to deliver its own analytics solution, and also distributes it to partners in order to provide the highest possible value to the stakeholders.

Measurence API Platform

In order to implement an effective and efficient distribution to its partners of the collected information, Measurence has create an "API Platform".

The Measurence API Platform is currently intended to serve 3 use cases:

• a mobile app, which subscribes to receive customers "session updates" (related to the device where it's installed) via push notification (e.g. Google Cloud Messaging)
• a mobile app, which subscribes to receive customers "session updates" (related to the device where it's installed) to its Back End servers
• a Back End server of a Measurence partner, which subscribes to receive "session updates" of ALL devices captured by the Measurence sensors

Measurence Android SDK

The Android SDK is intended to be embedded in an Android mobile app in order to implement the related use cases (see previous Sections).

A Demo App demonstrating how to embed the SDK is available at: https://bitbucket.org/measurence/measurence-android-sdk-demo-app

Please refer to its documentation for a better understanding on how to use the Measurence Android SDK.

The following Sections are intended to provide information about maintenance of the SDK.

Development environment Setup

Gradle properties

Copy the gradle.properties.example file to gradle.properties.

Replace the placeholders with proper settings - only needed if you are going to release a new version of the SDK to Maven Central. See this reference guide: http://zserge.com/blog/gradle-maven-publish.html

Release

1. configure the local.properties file; it must contain at least a line with the path of the Android SDK sdk.dir=C\:\\apps\\programming\\android-studio\\sdk
   • note that, if you previously opened the project with Android Studio, you should have the file already configured
2. setup the VERSION_NAME in the gradle.properties
3. execute gradle uploadArchives
4. release the SDK from the Sonatype dashboard - see this reference guide: http://zserge.com/blog/gradle-maven-publish.html
5. upgrade the version in gradle.properties AND gradle.properties.example and commit it
   • for instance, if you release 0.1.0, set the new version to 0.2.0-SNAPSHOT
