Android Android Vk Sdk Initialization and login
Example
- Create a new application here: create application
- Choose standalone applicaton and confirm app creation via SMS.
- Fill Package namefor Android as your current package name. You can get your package name inside android manifest file, at the very begginning.
- Get your Certificate fingerprint by executing this command in your shell/cmd:
keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore path-to-debug-or-production-keystore -list -v
You can also get this fingerprint by SDK itself:
String[] fingerprints = VKUtil.getCertificateFingerprint(this, this.getPackageName());
Log.d("MainActivity", fingerprints[0]);
-
Add recieved fingerprint into your Signing certificate fingerprint for Android: field in Vk app settings (where you entered your package name)
-
Then add this to your gradle file:
compile 'com.vk:androidsdk:1.6.5'
- Initialize the SDK on startup using the following method. The best way is to call it in the Applications onCreate method.
private static final int VK_ID = your_vk_id;
public static final String VK_API_VERSION = "5.52"; //current version
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
VKSdk.customInitialize(this, VK_ID, VK_API_VERSION);
}
This is the best way to initizlize VKSdk. Don't use the methid where VK_ID should be placed inside strings.xml because api will not work correctly after it.
- Final step is to login using vksdk.
public static final String[] VK_SCOPES = new String[]{
VKScope.FRIENDS,
VKScope.MESSAGES,
VKScope.NOTIFICATIONS,
VKScope.OFFLINE,
VKScope.STATUS,
VKScope.STATS,
VKScope.PHOTOS
};
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
someButtonForLogin.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
VKSdk.login(this, VK_SCOPES);
}
});
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
VKSdk.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data, new VKCallback<VKAccessToken>() {
@Override
public void onResult(VKAccessToken res) {
res.accessToken; //getting our token here.
}
@Override
public void onError(VKError error) {
Toast.makeText(SocialNetworkChooseActivity.this,
"User didn't pass Authorization", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
