import io.smooch.core.SmoochCallback;


public class YourApplication extends Application {
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        Smooch.init(this, new Settings("YOUR_APP_ID"), new SmoochCallback() {
            @Override
            public void run(Response response) {
                // Handle init result
            }
        });
    }
}

If your app also uses Firebase or support libraries, their version must match the ones used by Smooch to avoid runtime errors. If you need to update the version used by Smooch to match yours, you can do so by updating the dependencies in your app's build.gradle file.

def supportLibraryVersion = "YOUR_SUPPORT_LIBRARY_VERSION"
def firebaseCoreVersion = "YOUR_FIREBASE_CORE_VERSION"
def firebaseMessagingVersion = "YOUR_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_VERSION"
def playServicesVersion = "YOUR_PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION"

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${supportLibraryVersion}"

    // Smooch
    implementation 'io.smooch:core:5.14.5'
    implementation 'io.smooch:ui:5.14.5'

    // Libraries imported by Smooch
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:${firebaseCoreVersion}"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:${firebaseMessagingVersion}"
    implementation "com.android.support:support-v4:${supportLibraryVersion}"
    implementation "com.android.support:exifinterface:${supportLibraryVersion}"
    implementation "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:${supportLibraryVersion}"
    implementation "com.android.support:support-media-compat:${supportLibraryVersion}"
