ActiveCaptain Community SDK - Android

The ActiveCaptain Community SDK contains functions for storing and rendering data from a SQLite database exported from ActiveCaptain Community.

Quick Start

• Download the debug or release .aar file from the latest release.
• Put the .aar file somewhere in your project folder. If your module is called "app", you might put it in app/libs.
• In your module's build.gradle file (app/build.gradle), add a dependency on the .aar file:

  dependencies {
      implementation files('LIBS_PATH_HERE/activecaptaincommunitysdk-release-VERSION_NUMBER_HERE.aar')
  }

  Replace LIBS_PATH_HERE with the relative path to the .aar file and VERSION_NUMBER_HERE with the version number from the filename. For example: libs/activecaptaincommunitysdk-release-2.0.1.aar

Requesting a Stage API Key

• Create an account on ActiveCaptain Community. If you already have a personal account, create a separate account for app development only.
• Go to the Developer page and click the Request Access button. Fill out the information form and agree to the terms and conditions.
• Once you have access to the Developer Portal, you can access it here.
• In the Developer Portal, click "Add Application" and give your application a name.
• Your app will be assigned a Stage API key. Click the eye icon to view it.

Building and Running Sample App

• Clone the repository.
• Initialize submodules recursively: git submodule update --init --recursive
• In Android Studio, open the repository directory.
• In app\src\debug\java\com\garmin\marine\activecaptainsample\ActiveCaptainConfiguration.java, replace "STAGE_API_KEY_HERE" with your Stage API key.
• Build > Make Project
• Run > Debug 'app'

Using the Sample App

• Log in to Garmin SSO. Create a new account if needed.
• Wait a few minutes for data exports to be downloaded and installed.
