Quickstart

Integrate our SDK in your android app.
Step 1 : Install SDK
Install the SDK to your project via Gradle in Android Studio and add the dependencies below in your app build.gradle file.
 android { 
         ..... 
         compileOptions { 
              sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 
              targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 
         } 
         ...... 
 } 
 dependencies { 
         implementation 'com.geospark.android:geospark:2.2.3' 
 }
Step 2: Initialize SDK
Initialize the SDK with your PublishKey.
//In onCreate method of your Application class include the code below.
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    GeoSpark.initialize(this, "PUBLISH_KEY");
    ...
}    
Step 3: Create user
GeoSpark SDK needs a User ID object to identify the device.
GeoSpark.createUser(this,"User Description", new GeoSparkCallBack() {
       @Override
       public void onSuccess(GeoSparkUser geoSparkUser) {
                   geoSparkUser.getUserId();
       }
       @Override
       public void onFailure(GeoSparkError geoSparkError) {
                   geoSparkError.getErrorCode();
                   geoSparkError.getErrorMessage();
       }
});
Step 4: Start Location Tracking
 To start tracking the location.
//To enable location, call the requestLocationPermissions and 
//requestLocationServices method.
if(!GeoSpark.checkLocationPermission(this)) {
  	GeoSpark.requestLocationPermission(this);
} else if (!GeoSpark.checkLocationServices(this)) {
  	GeoSpark.requestLocationServices(this);
} else{
  	//Call this method to start tracking the location.  
  	GeoSpark.startTracking(this);
}      

To start tracking the location above Android 10
if (!GeoSpark.checkActivityPermission(this)) {
    GeoSpark.requestActivityPermission(this);
} else if (!GeoSpark.checkLocationPermission(this)) {
    GeoSpark.requestLocationPermission(this);
} else if (!GeoSpark.checkBackgroundLocationPermission(this)) {
    GeoSpark.requestBackgroundLocationPermission(this);
} else if (!GeoSpark.checkLocationServices(this)) {    
GeoSpark.requestLocationServices(this);
} else {    
    GeoSpark.startTracking(this);
}
