Appoxee Android SDK Integration

1. Enable Push Notifications for your Application - Follow the instructions in Appoxee's Android Push Notifications Guide.
   
   
2. Download the Appoxee Android SDK- Go to the Android SDK Downloads page and download the Appoxee Android SDK.
   
   
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. Integrate Appoxee into your Code - Add the Appoxee code to your Android application (see Integration: Adding Appoxee to your Application Code).
   
   

5. Customize your App's Push Icon - To replace the default icon on the Android Push Notification panel with your own icon, proceed as follows:

   1. In "Appoxee resources/res/drawable", replace "appoxee_default_icon.png" with your own icon file.
   2. In the application project, create a “drawable” resource nameed "appoxee_custom_icon.png". This resource will be used instead of the default one.
      
      
6. Customize the in-app Inbox (Appoxee Pro customers only) - Appoxee Pro accounts can change the Inbox design and customize its environment.
   If you wish to upgrade to Pro please contact info@appoxee.com).
   
   
7. Enable additional features (such as Feedback and More Apps) - Proceed as follows:
   1. Log into your Appoxee account, click on the Apps tab and select your app to view its Application Information page.
   2. Go to the Settings section and choose features and settings you wish to enable, including:
      • Allow feedbacks - improve your application's star rating in the App Store, by allowing users to rate the application and communicate directly with the application owner. 
      • Allow more apps - cross-promote your apps from within the app itself. It shows the app user additional apps you released, allowing the user to easily install them. 
         
8. Test your Application - Build and run your application on your device. Your debug console (LogCAT for Eclipse users) shows the test logs. 
    
9. Validate your integration - check the integration by taking the following steps:
   1. Test a Push Notification - see Push Message API (common questions are documented in the Android Q&A section).
   2. If you enabled the Appoxee In-App inbox, test it by sending message whose type is Push Notification + Rich Message (set the message "content_type" argument to "3").
   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 (set the message "type" argument to "1") - see Push Message API).

Congratulations! You are now ready to use Appoxee!
