## Step 2: Create a Firebase Configuration

Netmera uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for delivering push notifications.

1. Go to the [Firebase Developers Console](https://console.firebase.google.com/) and create a new project.
2. Generate a new **Private Key** (JSON file) for your project.

{% @arcade/embed url="<https://app.arcade.software/share/wWs2Yesf5jfbmH6BBLOc>" flowId="wWs2Yesf5jfbmH6BBLOc" %}

3. Upload the JSON file you downloaded from Firebase Cloud Messaging to the `Project > app-level root` `directory`.

<figure><img src="/files/wS9LardryKGYyTlG5oWr" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

4. Choose one of the four options: ***Node.js, Java, Python, and Go***. The choice of option does not require any action. Simply click the 'Generate New Private Key' button to download the file. No further selections are needed.

## Step 4: Integrate Netmera SDK <a href="#integrate-sdk" id="integrate-sdk"></a>

<figure><img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/5bVVUuZBFS3dRDP9UO2_i31L0jF2Obwpwrh9jIULVFCy5avp84ss9Ntu_VPtVEw93p7ZIYbOc4EZBJhG4AiXU_G-UNz7ZOGg0Udsq5mCmASNUxTQlMI4uPHeR5DOjr_3Q7MCH5f-HQaPutsOBkrzPwk" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important Notes on SDK API Key:**

* **Do not** use the API key from a **test** **panel** in production.
* **Each panel has a unique API key**, and using the wrong one can result in data misdirection or errors.

**To obtain your SDK API Key:**

1. Go to the Netmera Panel.
2. Navigate to Developer > API > SDK API Key.
3. Copy your SDK API Key from this section.
   {% endhint %}

### Standard Gradle

If your project is using Standard Gradle:

* Add the following snippets to integrate the Netmera SDK into your project.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Project" %}
In this step, only copy the url specified below and add it to maven.

```groovy
buildscript {
    repositories {
         google()
         maven {url 'https://developer.huawei.com/repo/'} // only include for HMS copy the url and add it to maven
    }
    dependencies {

    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:{your_project_android_tools_version}'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:{your_google_services_version}'
    classpath 'com.huawei.agconnect:agcp:{your_agcp_version}' // only include for HMS 
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        maven {url 'https://developer.huawei.com/repo/'} // only include for HMS  copy the url and add it to maven
        maven { url "https://release.netmera.com/release/android" } 
    }
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="App" %}
You should add Netmera dependency to your dependencies section in your: `build.gradle(:app)`

{% hint style="danger" %}
Check [Changelog](/netmera-developer-guide/platforms/android/changelog.md) to find the SDK versions listed as '4.x.x' below.
{% endhint %}

```groovy
dependencies {

    implementation 'com.netmera:nmcore:4.x.x'
    implementation 'com.netmera:nmfcm:4.x.x'
    implementation 'com.netmera:nmhms:4.x.x'

    // If you only need to support Google services, use the following versions:
    // implementation 'com.netmera:nmcore:4.x.x'
    // implementation 'com.netmera:nmfcm:4.x.x'

    // For applications that only want to support Huawei devices, use these dependencies:
    // implementation 'com.netmera:nmcore:4.x.x'
    // implementation 'com.netmera:nmhms:4.x.x'
}

// Must be added at the bottom of the app's build.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
apply plugin: 'com.huawei.agconnect' // only include for HMS
```

**Netmera BOM (Bill of Materials) Support**

{% hint style="warning" %}
BOM support is available starting from version 4.5.0.
{% endhint %}

Using the BOM allows you to manage Netmera SDK versions more easily and ensures compatibility between `nmcore`, `nmfcm`, and `nmhms` modules.

```groovy
dependencies {
    implementation platform('com.netmera:netmera-bom:4.x.x')
    implementation 'com.netmera:nmcore'
    implementation 'com.netmera:nmfcm'
    implementation 'com.netmera:nmhms'

    // If you only need to support Google services, use the following versions:
    // implementation platform('com.netmera:netmera-bom:4.x.x')
    // implementation 'com.netmera:nmcore'
    // implementation 'com.netmera:nmfcm'

    // For applications that only want to support Huawei devices, use these dependencies:
    // implementation platform('com.netmera:netmera-bom:4.x.x')
    // implementation 'com.netmera:nmcore'
    // implementation 'com.netmera:nmhms'
}

// Must be added at the bottom of the app's build.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
apply plugin: 'com.huawei.agconnect' // only include for HMS
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Gradle Version Catalogs

If your project is using [Gradle Version Catalogs](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/version_catalogs.html):

* Add the following snippets to integrate the Netmera SDK into your project.

## Step 5: Initialize Netmera SDK <a href="#initialize-netmera" id="initialize-netmera"></a>

### Initialize Netmera SDK

1. Add the following initialization code inside the `onCreate()` method of your `Application` class.

{% hint style="info" %}
**If Application Class is Not Already Present:**

1. Create an Application Class\
   If your project doesn't yet have an `Application` class, create one and include the initialization code as shown below.
2. Update AndroidManifest.xml\
   In the `AndroidManifest.xml`, add your `Application` class by specifying `android:name` in the `<application>` tag.
3. To exclude Netmera Android SDK files from auto-backup if your app supports backup, please see the relevant title [Android Integration FAQs](/netmera-developer-guide/platforms/android/sdk-integration/android-integration-faqs.md#q10-excluding-netmera-android-sdk-files-from-auto-backup-if-your-app-supports-backup).
   {% endhint %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Kotlin" %}
{% hint style="danger" %}
**`registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks`** method must be called in the Main Thread.
{% endhint %}

```kotlin
override fun onCreate() {
    super.onCreate()
    // Must be called on the Main Thread
    registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(NMActivityLifecycleCallbacks(this))

    val configBuilder = NetmeraConfiguration.Builder()
        .apiKey(apiKey)
        .firebaseSenderId(PropertiesUtil.gcmSenderId)
        .huaweiSenderId(PropertiesUtil.hmsSenderId)  // only include for HMS
        .logging(true)  // enables logging in logcat
        .addProvider(NMFCMProvider())
        .addProvider(NMHMSProvider()) // only include for HMS
    Netmera.init(configBuilder.build(this))
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Java" %}
{% hint style="danger" %}
**`registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks`** method must be called in the Main Thread.
{% endhint %}

```java
@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    // Must be called on the Main Thread
    registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(new NMActivityLifecycleCallbacks(this));

    NetmeraConfiguration.Builder configBuilder = new NetmeraConfiguration.Builder();
    configBuilder.apiKey(apiKey)
                 .firebaseSenderId(PropertiesUtil.gcmSenderId)
                 .huaweiSenderId(PropertiesUtil.hmsSenderId)  // only include for HMS
                 .logging(true);  // enable logging in logcat
                 .addProvider(new NMFCMProvider())
                 .addProvider(new NMHMSProvider());  // only include for HMS
    Netmera.init(configBuilder.build(this));
}
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Configuring baseUrl for On-Premise Applications**

* **For On-Premise Applications:**\
  Include the following code to configure the base URL and API key:

  ```java
  configBuilder.baseUrl(baseUrl).apiKey(apiKey);
  ```
* **For Non-On-Premise Applications:**\
  Only the API key needs to be configured:

  ```java
  configBuilder.apiKey(apiKey);
  ```

{% endhint %}

### Optional: Initialization Callback

To implement the initialization callback:

1. Add the following code to handle success and failure:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Kotlin" %}

```kotlin
Netmera.setInitSessionCallback(object : NMInitSessionResultListener {
    override fun onSuccess(result: NetmeraInitSessionResult) {
        val segmentInfo = if (result.segments.isEmpty()) {
            "no segments found!"
        } else {
            result.segments.joinToString { "${it.name}(${it.id})" }
        }
        Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Init session success — segments: $segmentInfo")
    }
    override fun onFailure(error: String?) {
        Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Init session failure — $error")
    }
})
 
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Java" %}

```java
Netmera.init(
    configBuilder.build(this),
    new NMInitSessionListener() {
        @Override
        public void onSuccess() {
            Log.i("NetmeraApp", "Session init completed");
        }

        @Override
        public void onFailure(String error) {
            Log.e(
                "NetmeraApp",
                "Error occurred when trying to init session with Netmera. Error::" + error
            );
        }
    }
);
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Optional: Enable Logging

Use logging only for debugging. Set `.logging(true)` during development and `.logging(false)` before release.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Kotlin" %}

```kotlin
.logging(true)   // development
.logging(false)  // production
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Java" %}

```java
Netmera.logging(true);   // development
Netmera.logging(false);  // production
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If your app uses a custom `FirebaseMessagingService` or `HmsMessageService`, review [Custom FCM Implementation](/netmera-developer-guide/platforms/android/sdk-integration/custom-fcm-implementation.md) and [Custom HMS Implementation](/netmera-developer-guide/platforms/android/sdk-integration/custom-hms-implementation.md) before completing the integration.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Important Note for Obfuscation:**

No special obfuscation rules are needed for Netmera. Its functionality remains unaffected, even with code obfuscation enabled.
{% endhint %}

## Android SDK Integration Complete <a href="#sdk-integration-complete" id="sdk-integration-complete"></a>

The Android SDK integration has been successfully completed, and your devices are now set to receive the following types of push notifications via the Netmera Dashboard:

* **Standard Push Notifications**
* **Interactive Push Notifications**
* **Widgets**
* **Push Notifications with Deeplinks**

{% hint style="warning" %}

#### **Warning During App Store Submission:**

When submitting your application to the App Store, you might encounter the `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` alert. Here’s how to handle it:

1. Choose **'Yes'** when prompted.
2. On the subsequent page, make sure the **'analytics'** option is selected.
3. After this, no further additions to the manifest are required; simply merging the manifest will suffice.
   {% endhint %}
