QuickBlox Android SDK

This project contains QuickBlox Android SDK, that includes

framework library jars
snippets (shows main use cases of using this one)
samples (separated samples for each QuickBlox module)

How to start

To start work you should just put library jars into your project and call desired methods.

Latest jar-packed framework file you can clone from jars folder.

Documentation

Oh, please, please show me the code

Android SDK is really simple to use. Just in few minutes you can power your mobile app with huge amount of awesome functions to store, pass and represent your data.

1. Get app credentials

How to get app credentials

2. Create new Android project

3. Add jars to project libs folder.

Update your build.gradle file if need.

Eclipse users: If you got 'Unable to execute dex: Java heap size' - try to upgrade eclipse.ini to https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/phonegap/yWePvssyiLE

4. Declare internet permission for Android application

Go to AndroidManifest.xml and add

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

inside <manifest> tag.

5. Make QuickBlox API calls

The common way to interact with QuickBlox can be presented with following sequence of actions:

Initialize framework with application credentials
Create session
Login with existing user or register new one
Perform actions with any QuickBlox data entities (users, locations, files, custom objects, pushes etc.)

5.1 Initialize framework with application credentials

QBSettings.getInstance().fastConfigInit("961", "PBZxXW3WgGZtFZv", "vvHjRbVFF6mmeyJ");

5.2. Create session

QBAuth.createSession(new QBEntityCallbackImpl<QBSession>() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(QBSession session, Bundle params) {
        // success
    }

    @Override
    public void onError(List<String> errors) {
        // errors
    }
});

5.3. Register/login

First create (register) new user

// Register new user
final QBUser user = new QBUser("userlogin", "userpassword");

QBUsers.signUp(user, new QBEntityCallbackImpl<QBUser>() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(QBUser user, Bundle args) {
        // success
    }

    @Override
    public void onError(List<String> errors) {
       // error
    }
});

then authorize user

// Login
QBUsers.signIn(user, new QBEntityCallbackImpl<QBUser>() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(QBUser user, Bundle args) {
        // success
    }

    @Override
    public void onError(List<String> errors) {
        // error
    }
});

5.4. Perform actions

Create new location for Indiana Jones

double lat = 25.224820; // Somewhere in Africa
double lng = 9.272461;
String statusText = "trying to find adventures";
QBLocation location = new QBLocation(lat, lng, statusText);
QBLocations.createLocation(location, new QBEntityCallbackImpl<QBLocation>() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(QBLocation qbLocation, Bundle args) {
        // success
    }

    @Override
    public void onError(List<String> errors) {
        // error
    }
});

or put Holy Grail into storage

File file = new File("holy_grail.txt");
Boolean fileIsPublic = true;
QBContent.uploadFileTask(file1, fileIsPublic, null, new QBEntityCallbackImpl<QBFile>() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(QBFile qbFile, Bundle params) {
        // success
    }

    @Override
    public void onError(List<String> errors) {
        // error
    }
});
