Installation

​
Prerequisites

  • Android Studio Arctic Fox or later
  • Android SDK 21 or higher
  • Kotlin 1.5.0 or higher

​
Add JitPack Repository

Add the JitPack repository to your project-level build.gradle file:

​
Configuration

​
Initialization

Initialize SirenSDK in your MainActivity by passing the context, token, recipientId, and error callback: 
import com.keyvalue.siren.androidsdk.helper.client.SirenSDK

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private lateinit var sirenSDK: SirenSDK

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        
        sirenSDK = SirenSDK.getInstance(
            context = applicationContext,
            token = "YOUR_USER_TOKEN",
            recipientId = "YOUR_RECIPIENT_ID",
            object : ErrorCallback {
                override fun onError(jsonObject: JSONObject) {
                    // Handle initialization error
                }
            }
        )
    }
}

        darkMode = true,      // Optional: Enable dark mode
        notificationIcon = CustomIcon(),  // Optional: Custom icon
    ),
    object : SirenInboxIconCallback {
        override fun onError(jsonObject: JSONObject) {
            // Handle error
        }

Troubleshooting

​
Common Issues

  1. SDK Not Initializing
    • Verify your internet connection
    • Check if the provided token and recipient ID are valid
    • Ensure you’ve added the required permissions to AndroidManifest.xml
  2. Notifications Not Displaying
    • Check if you’ve called the initialization code
    • Verify that the user has notifications enabled in app settings
    • Check for any error callbacks
  3. UI Rendering Issues
    • Ensure you’re using the latest version of the SDK
    • Check for any theme conflicts in your app
    • Verify that all required Compose dependencies are included
