You can add the HelpCrunch SDK to your Android application with the Gradle build system.

1. Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

allprojects {
	repositories {
		...
		maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
	}
}

2. Add the following code to your app/build.gradle file:

implementation 'com.helpcrunch:chat-sdk:x.x.x'

3. For the next step, you'll need the Android Initialization Code. You can copy this code from the apps list in your HelpCrunch account (Settings→ Set up & Customize → Android APPs → Your app name → Android Initialization Code).

Setup code

1. Initialize Helpcrunch in your custom application class with your Android Initialization Code:

Java

HelpCrunch.initialize(YOUR_HELPCRUNCH_SUBDOMAIN, YOUR_APP_ID, YOUR_APP_SECRET);

Kotlin

HelpCrunch.initialize(HELPCRUNCH, HELPCRUNCH_APP_ID, HELPCRUNCH_SECRET)

HelpCrunch.initialize(YOUR_HELPCRUNCH_SUBDOMAIN, YOUR_APP_ID, YOUR_APP_SECRET)

2. After SDK initialization, call the showChatScreen helper method in HelpCrunch in order to show a chat screen to your app users:

Java

HelpCrunch.showChatScreen();
//or
HCOptions options = HCOptions.createDefault(); //default or custom

HelpCrunch.showChatScreen(options, new Callback<Object>(){
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(Object result) {
    }
    @Override
    public void onError(@NotNull String message) {
    }
});

Kotlin

HelpCrunch.showChatScreen()
//or
val options = HCOptions.createDefault() //default or custom

HelpCrunch.showChatScreen(
		options = options,
		callback = object : Callback<Any?>() {
			override fun onSuccess(result: Any?) {
			}
			override fun onError(message: String) {
			}
		}
)

3. After you have called the method, the HelpCrunch chat widget will look like this in your app:
