Android API Client Library

The veryfi library can be used to communicate with Veryfi API. All available functionality is described here https://veryfi.github.io/veryfi-android/android/com.veryfi.android/-client/index.html

Below is the sample kotlin script using veryfi to OCR and extract data from a document:

Create a basic layout with a TextView to set the response

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/response"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textColor="#535353"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Process a document

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    var clientId = "your_client_id"
    var clientSecret = "your_client_secret"
    var username = "your_username"
    var apiKey = "your_password"

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
        val client = VeryfiClientFactory.createClient(clientId, clientSecret, username, apiKey)
        val categories = listOf("Advertising & Marketing", "Automotive")
        val fileName = "example1.jpg"
        client.processDocument(assets.open(fileName), fileName, categories, false, null, { jsonString ->
            //Update UI with jsonString response
            findViewById<TextView>(R.id.response).text = jsonString
        }, { errorMessage ->
            //handle errorMessage
        })
    }
}

Update a document

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    var clientId = "your_client_id"
    var clientSecret = "your_client_secret"
    var username = "your_username"
    var apiKey = "your_password"

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
        val documentId = "your_document_id"
        val parameters = JSONObject()
        parameters.put("category", "Meals & Entertainment")
        parameters.put("total", 11.23)
        client.updateDocument(documentId, parameters, { jsonString ->
            //Update UI with jsonString response
            findViewById<TextView>(R.id.response).text = jsonString
        }, { errorMessage ->
            //handle errorMessage
        })
    }
}
