This document explains how to download the Appoxee Android SDK and integrate it with your application code. 

The integration process consists of the following steps:
1. Download the Appoxee Android SDK - See the Android SDK Downloads for Appoxee Standalone page and download the  Appoxee Android SDK V4


There are two versions of the v4 Appoxee SDK, one for customers hosted in Virginia and a second for customers hosted in Frankfurt. Please ensure you download the correct SDK for your account.

2. Add the Appoxee Android SDK to your project - See the Add Appoxee SDK to Android Studio page to follow all the instruction.


Android SDK Version 16 or later is required by the Appoxee v4 SDK.

3. Initialize Appoxee SDK into your project -  Use  Initialize Appoxee SDK page, to integrate Appoxee into your project.
4. Appoxee SDK API: For different API's uses go to  Appoxee Android API page.
5.Test your application - build and run your application on your device. Your Logcat shows the device's logs, including your application logs, you can check Log here Production Logs for Appoxee Standalone. 
If you encounter any problems, send these logs to Appoxee Support (support@appoxee.com). 

6. Validate your SDK integration  - you can check the Appoxee SDK integration either via the Appoxee website or via the Appoxee API:

    1. Test a Push Notification - you can create a Push notification in one of the following ways:
      • Using the API - see Push Message API (if you have any questions, see the Android SDK Q&A).
      • Using the Appoxee website - log into your Appoxee account, go to the Apps tab, choose your Application Name, click Create Message (yellow button) and configure the new message.
    2. Set your app's Push Rate - The Push Rate feature sets the number of Push Notifications sent per-second (p/s). This feature is intended for apps that have a server side, and it is used to prevent overloading the server with too many concurrent app opens (triggered by the Push Notification).
      To set the Push Rate, log into your Appoxee account, go to the Apps tab, choose your app to display its Application Information page, and then select the relevant Push Rate from the list. 
      The default rate is Normal (100 p/s), but you can choose different rates for different purposes. For example: When debugging the app, use a low rate: Debug speed (10 p/s). However, when sending a "Breaking News" Push Notification, set the rate to Fast (250 p/s).
    3. Create your first "Welcome" Message - if you are using the Push Message API, set the message "type" argument to "1".

Once you complete these steps, your Appoxee Android SDK integration is complete and you are ready to use Appoxee! (smile)
