2. Minimum SDK version should be 14 or above
3. SDK version (Compile, Build, Target) should be 26 or above
Android SDK Integration Process#
Step 1#
Add the Android SDK URL in your Project level build gradle file’s repositories section as shown below:
allprojects {
repositories {
…
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
maven { url 'https://maven.google.com/' }
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://jfrog-artifact.revechat.com/artifactory/artifactory/"
}
}

dependencies {
…
implementation('com.revesoft.revechatsdk:revechatsdk:1.0.14.3.1')
}
Note- You can also use Design support library greater then 26 also according to your project build SDK version.

ReveChat.setDeviceTokenId("deviceTokenId"); //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) //Optional //If want to Receive push notification from Reve Chat. //Add your device token id(registration Id) //You also need to do step 4.
