Android SDK Integration

So you've got your account set up, now let's make sure your Android app is equipped with the insights that UXCam can provide. This guide will take you through the first steps of integrating UXCam, sending your first session, and setting up key features. Our goal? A successful integration that sets you up for product-led growth, better usability insights, and happier users.

What Does a Successful Integration Look Like?

With a solid integration, you'll have a complete picture of how users interact with your app. From screen journeys and user behaviours to session replays and user properties, you'll be able to understand and enhance every aspect of your product's user experience. Follow along with this quick guide, and you'll be up and running in no time.

Quick Start: Only a Couple of Lines of Code

Let's get you started with the basics. With just a few lines of code, you'll be on your way to capturing user sessions in your test app.

Adding The Dependencies:

1. In the module's build.gradle file add UXCam:
   Java

   repositories {
     maven{ 
        url 'https://sdk.uxcam.com/android/' 
     } 
   } 
   dependencies { 
        implementation 'com.uxcam:uxcam:3.+' 
   }

Initializing UXCam:

1. In your launcher activity, import UXCam:

   Java

   import com.uxcam.UXCam;
   import com.uxcam.datamodel.UXConfig;

2. Now, you need to create a configuration object with desired settings and then start UXCam using this configuration object:

   KotlinJava

   val config = UXConfig.Builder("yourAppKey")
       .build()

   UXConfig config = new UXConfig.Builder("yourAppKey").build();

   Java

   UXCam.startWithConfiguration(config);

👍

As Simple As That!

This will complete the integration process.
Your session will be shown on the dashboard within a few seconds after the app goes in the background.

We recommend that after you've set this up and have reviewed some sessions from your tests, get to the customisation features UXCam offers, let's go to the next steps!
