This document explains how to download the Appoxee Android SDK and integrate it with your application .
The integration consists of the following steps:
  1. Step 1 - Enable Push Notifications for your Application - Follow the instructions in Appoxee's Android Push Notifications Guide.
  2. Step 2 - Download the Appoxee Android SDK- Go to the Android SDK Downloads page and download the Appoxee Android SDK.
  3. Step 3- Add the Appoxee Android SDK as an Eclipse Project - Extract the SDK to Eclipse and create a new Android project that uses Appoxee resources (see Adding the Appoxee Android SDK to Eclipse).
  4. Step 4 - Integration - Add the Appoxee code to your Android application (seeIntegration: Adding Appoxee to your Application Code).
  5. Step 5 - Push Icon Customization

    To change the icon on the Android Push Notification panel:

    1. In the "Appoxee resources/res/drawable" replace "appoxee_default_icon.png" with another icon file.
    2. In the application project create a “drawable” resource by the name "appoxee_custom_icon.png". It will be used instead of the default one.

    Step 6 - Inbox Customization

    Appoxee Pro accounts can also change the Inbox design and customize its environment (this section is relevant for Appoxee Pro clients only. If you wish to upgrade to Pro please contact info@appoxee.com).

    Step 7 -Try our feedback module

    If you are using the Appoxee Inbox, all you have to do is enable it in your Appoxee app settings and hooray! check your inbox for our feedback module.

    Step 8 - Testing your Application

    After completing the steps above, try to build and run your application on your device. You can see in your debug console (LogCAT for Eclipse users) the logging process. 

    Step 9 - Validate your integration

    1. Test a push notification - if you have any problems, please read our Android Q&A section, it might be something common.
    2. If you have utilized the Appoxee In-App inbox – Please test the combination of Message + Push.
    3. Setup the push sending rate (in case you want to throttle incoming traffic when users click on your push notifications).
    4. Create your first Welcome Message using “Persistent” Message Type.
