This documentation shows you how to embed REVE Chat Flutter Android SDK in an Android application and get started in a few minutes.

Getting Started with Flutter Android SDK

REVE Chat’s Flutter Android SDK can be seamlessly integrated with your mobile apps and enable your team deliver in-app messaging to your app users for better engagement and customer support.

Introduction

This documentation shows you how to embed REVE Chat Android SDK in a Flutter based Android application and get started in a few minutes.

Necessary or minimum requirements:

1. Android Studio
2. Minimum SDK version should be 14 or above
3. SDK version (Compile, Build, Target) should be 26 or above

Flutter Android SDK integration process

Step 1

To integrate Flutter Android SDK with your mobile app, please follow the below mentioned steps:

• Add the Flutter Android SDK URL in your Project level build gradle file’s repositories section as shown below:
  • If android studio version less than Android Studio Arctic Fox
  • In project build.gradle, you can add the repositories

allprojects {
      repositories {
      …
      maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
      maven { url 'https://maven.google.com/' }
      maven {
            url "https://maven.iptelephony.revesoft.com/artifactory/libs-release-local/"
        }
      maven {
          url "https://jfrog-artifact.revechat.com/artifactory/artifactory/"
      }
   }
}

• Otherwise, In settings.gradle, you can add the repositories

dependencyResolutionManagement {                   
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
    repositories {
        …
 	  maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
        maven { url 'https://maven.google.com/' }
        maven {
            url "https://maven.iptelephony.revesoft.com/artifactory/libs-release-local/"
        }
        maven {
            url "https://jfrog-artifact.revechat.com/artifactory/artifactory/"
        }
    }
}

Step 2

Add Design support library and REVE Chat Android SDK as dependency in your App level build.gradle file :

dependencies {
    …
    implementation('com.revesoft.revechatsdk:revechatsdk:3.3.2')

}

Note: You can also use Design support library greater then 26 also according to your project build SDK version.

Step 3

Add proguard-rules.pro. Path → /android/app/proguard-rules.pro

# Add project specific ProGuard rules here.
# By default, the flags in this file are appended to flags specified
# in E:\Android_Studio\sdk/tools/proguard/proguard-android.txt
# You can edit the include path and order by changing the proguardFiles
# directive in build.gradle.
#
# For more details, see
#   http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/proguard.html

# Add any project specific keep options here:

# If your project uses WebView with JS, uncomment the following
# and specify the fully qualified class name to the JavaScript interface
# class:
#-keepclassmembers class fqcn.of.javascript.interface.for.webview {
#   public *;
#}
-keep class com.revesoft.revechatsdk.** {*;}
-keep interface com.revesoft.revechatsdk.** { *; }
-keep enum com.revesoft.revechatsdk.** { *; }
-dontwarn com.revesoft.revechatsdk.**

-keep class org.webrtc.** { *; }
-keep class org.webrtc.voiceengine.** { *; }
-dontwarn org.webrtc.**

Step 4

Add following lines from where you want to start the chat. However, this step needs to be done differently for JAVA or KOTLIN in separate ways. Code for JAVA–

//Initializing with account id
ReveChat.init("account id");


//Creating visitor info
VisitorInfo visitorInfo = new VisitorInfo.Builder()
						.name("your name")
						.email("[email protected]")
						.phoneNumber("your number")
						.build();
 
//Set visitor info
ReveChat.setVisitorInfo(visitorInfo);
 
ReveChat.setAppBundleName(BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID);
ReveChat.setAppVersionNumber(BuildConfig.VERSION_NAME);

 ReveChat.setApiServiceTitle("REVEChatApiService")  // change as per your requirement
 ReveChat.setApiServiceContent("REVEChatApiService") // change as per your requirement
 
//starting chat window
startActivity(new Intent(this, ReveChatActivity.class));

Code for KOTLIN–

//Initializing with account id
ReveChat.init("account id")

//Creating visitor info
val visitorInfo: VisitorInfo = VisitorInfo.Builder()
                .name("your name")
                .email("[email protected]")
                .phoneNumber("your number")
                .build()

//Set visitor info
ReveChat.setVisitorInfo(visitorInfo)

ReveChat.setAppBundleName(BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID);
ReveChat.setAppVersionNumber(BuildConfig.VERSION_NAME);

 ReveChat.setApiServiceTitle("REVEChatApiService")  // change as per your requirement
 ReveChat.setApiServiceContent("REVEChatApiService") // change as per your requirement

//starting chat window
startActivity(Intent(this, ReveChatActivity::class.java))
