Guide for integrating Kvalifika SDK into a native Android project

Use Kvalifika SDK to easily integrate into a native Android project. Before integrating Kvalifika, it is recommended to follow the steps described in Integration Guide and Initial Setup.

Naming of the properties and functions might be slightly modified depending on the version.

Installation

Add the following to the project's main build.gradle file:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        // Existing repositories, like google() and jcenter()
        maven { url 'https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/com.kvalifika.sdk' }
    }
}

Please use minSdkVersion 21 in your build.gradle (Module) file

To install Kvalifika Android SDK, add the following to build.gradle (Module) file:

dependencies {
  // Insert line below to include our client library as a dependency.
  implementation 'com.kvalifika:sdk:0.7.0'
}

Initialize the SDK

import Kvalifika:

import com.kvalifika.sdk.KvalifikaSDK
import com.kvalifika.sdk.KvalifikaSDKLocale
import com.kvalifika.sdk.KvalifikaSDKCallback
import com.kvalifika.sdk.KvalifikaSDKError

After that, you need to initialize SDK with your appId and secretKey

appId is Application ID and secretKey is Application Secret Key, generated from Admin Panel. See Initial Setup for details.

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
	 private lateinit var sdk: KvalifikaSDK
 	 private val appId: String = "YOUR APP ID"

	 override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
			super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
			setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

			sdk = KvalifikaSDK.Builder(this, appId)
					.locale(KvalifikaSDKLocale.EN)
					.build()
	 }
}

Start Verification

Call sdk.startSession() on button click event:

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
	 private lateinit var sdk: KvalifikaSDK
 	 private val appId: String = "YOUR APP ID"

	 override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
			super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
			setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

			sdk = KvalifikaSDK.Builder(this, appId)
					.locale(KvalifikaSDKLocale.GE)
					.build()

	 }

	 // Start verification on button click
	 fun onVerificationPress(view: View?) {
			sdk.startSession()
	 }
}

Handling Verifications

It's useful to know that whether a user has completed the verification flow or canceled it. For this, you can implement the callback methods.

Callback Methods

Method

Description

onInitialize

This callback method is triggered when SDK is initialized.

onStart

This callback method is triggered when the user starts verification.

onFinish

This callback method is triggered when the user completes verification. Get session data here.

onError

This callback method is triggered on error (see Error Codes for more information)

sdk.callback(object : KvalifikaSDKCallback {
    override fun onInitialize() {
        Log.d("MainActivity", "initialized")
    }

    override fun onStart(sessionId: String) {
        Log.d("MainActivity", "started")
    }

    override fun onFinish(sessionId: String) {
		// Fetch session data here from your server
    }

    override fun onError(error: KvalifikaSDKError, message: String?) {
        if(error == KvalifikaSDKError.INVALID_APP_ID) {
    		Log.d("MainActivity", "Invalid App ID")
    	}

        if (error == KvalifikaSDKError.USER_CANCELLED) {
            Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "User cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
        }

        if (error == KvalifikaSDKError.TIMEOUT) {
            Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Timeout", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
        }

        if (error == KvalifikaSDKError.SESSION_UNSUCCESSFUL) {
            Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Session failed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
        }

        if (error == KvalifikaSDKError.ID_UNSUCCESSFUL) {
            Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "ID scan failed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
        }

        if (error == KvalifikaSDKError.CAMERA_PERMISSION_DENIED) {
            Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Camera permission denied", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
        }

        if (error == KvalifikaSDKError.LANDSCAPE_MODE_NOT_ALLOWED) {
            Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Landscape mode is not allowed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
        }

        if (error == KvalifikaSDKError.REVERSE_PORTRAIT_NOT_ALLOWED) {
            Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Reverse portrait is not allowed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
        }

        if (error == KvalifikaSDKError.FACE_IMAGES_UPLOAD_FAILED) {
            Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Could not upload face images", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
        }

        if (error == KvalifikaSDKError.DOCUMENT_IMAGES_UPLOAD_FAILED) {
            Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Could not upload Id card or passport images", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
        }
        
        if (error == KvalifikaSDKError.NO_MORE_ATTEMPTS) {
            Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "You have reached maximum attempts", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
        }

        if (error == KvalifikaSDKError.UNKNOWN_INTERNAL_ERROR) {
            Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Unknown error happened", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
        }
    }
})
