Install the Android SDK

To get started, install the SDK and then update some of the settings in your project.

Add Maven Repository

Add the following maven repository to your build.gradle or build.gradle.kts file.

maven {
    url "https://s3.amazonaws.com/inapp.salesforce.com/public/android"
}

maven {
    url = uri("https://s3.amazonaws.com/inapp.salesforce.com/public/android")
}

Add Dependency

Add the following dependency to your build.gradle or build.gradle.kts file.

dependencies {
  implementation "com.salesforce.service:messaging-inapp-ui:<version>"
}

dependencies {
  implementation("com.salesforce.service:messaging-inapp-ui:<version>")
}

tip: To get the latest version information, refer to the Enhanced In-App Chat release notes.

note: If you plan to use the Core SDK (and not the UI SDK), use the following dependency instead of messaging-inapp-ui: com.salesforce.service:messaging-inapp-core:<version>.

Update Other Settings

Turn on the dataBinding feature in the Android section of your build.gradle file.

buildFeatures {
  dataBinding true
}

buildFeatures {
  dataBinding = true
}
