Grouplink init using JSON file

This page describes how to initiate and register the Grouplink SDK using a JSON file with the grouplink token.

1. Check if your project already has the assets directory

1.1. Be sure to navigate to your application directory (usually located at app/src/main) and verify that the assets directory exists.

1.2 Create the assets directory if it does not exist in your project.

• Right click on the app folder and select new > directory.
• Select the asset directory with the following path app/src/main.

2. Create the JSON file

Inside the assets directory, right-click and select new > file.

Name the file grouplink-services.json.

3. Open the grouplink-services.json file and insert the following JSON content

1{
2  "token": "YOUR_GROUP_LINK_TOKEN"
3}

Replace YOUR GROUP LINK TOKEN with the token received from our team.

4. Initialize Group Link

Initialize the library with the following line, inside the Application class of the app

1package com.example.your_app
2...
3class App : Application() {
4    override fun onCreate() {
5        super.onCreate()
6        ...
7        //Grouplink must be initialized inside
8        //onCreate of the core Application registered.
9        //add the following line
10
11        GroupLink.register(
12            context.applicationContext,
13            false //true if you want to test if the implementation is working.
14        )
15    }
16    ...
17}
