Android - Adapty SDK Installation and configuration

Learn how to install and configure Adapty SDK and AdaptyUI SDK for Android, essential for seamless integration of Adapty

Adapty comprises two crucial SDKs for seamless integration into your mobile app:

  • General Adapty SDK: This is a fundamental, mandatory SDK necessary for the proper functioning of Adapty within your app.
  • AdaptyUI SDK: This optional SDK becomes necessary if you intend to use the Adapty Paywall builder. The Paywall builder serves as a convenient, user-friendly tool tailored for a no-code approach. It empowers you with the ability to effortlessly construct a subscription purchase page, referred to as a Paywall in Adapty. This approach ensures you get the paywalls directly in your iOS or Android apps as native layout pages.
    The Adapty Paywall builder is created to set the core conversion-driving elements of paywalls with several clicks in the dashboard without spending time on minor design amendments and technical settings. It helps also to edit your paywall native layout on the fly by changing it visually in the Adapty web interface.

Please consult the compatibility table below to choose the correct pair of Adapty SDK and AdaptyUI SDK.

Adapty SDK versionAdaptyUI version
2.7.x–2.9.x2.0.x
2.10.02.1.2
2.10.22.1.3
2.11.02.11.0

You can install Adapty SDK via Gradle.

❗️

Go through release checklist before releasing your app

Before releasing your application, make sure to carefully review the Release Checklist thoroughly. This checklist ensures that you've completed all necessary steps and provides criteria for evaluating the success of your integration.

Install via Gradle

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'io.adapty:android-sdk:2.11.1'
    implementation 'io.adapty:android-ui:2.11.0'
}
dependencies {
    ...
    implementation("io.adapty:android-sdk:2.10.5")
    implementation("io.adapty:android-ui:2.1.3")
}
//libs.versions.toml

[versions]
..
adapty = "2.10.5"
adaptyUi = "2.1.3"

[libraries]
..
adapty = { group = "io.adapty", name = "android-sdk", version.ref = "adapty" }
adapty-ui = { group = "io.adapty", name = "android-ui", version.ref = "adaptyUi" }



//module-level build.gradle.kts

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation(libs.adapty)
    implementation(libs.adapty.ui)
}

If the dependency is not being resolved, please make sure that you have mavenCentral() in your Gradle scripts.

The instruction on how to add it

If your project doesn't have dependencyResolutionManagement in your settings.gradle, add the following to your top-level build.gradle at the end of repositories:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

Otherwise, add the following to your settings.gradle in repositories of dependencyResolutionManagement section:

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    ...
    repositories {
        ...
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

Configure Proguard

You should add -keep class com.adapty.** { *; } to your Proguard configuration.

Configure Adapty SDK

Add the following to your Application class:

override fun onCreate() {
    super.onCreate()
    Adapty.activate(
      applicationContext,
      AdaptyConfig.Builder("PUBLIC_SDK_KEY")
    	  .withObserverMode(false) //default false
    	  .withCustomerUserId(customerUserId) //default null
    	  .withIpAddressCollectionDisabled(false) //default false
    	  .build()
    )  
      
    //OR 
    //the method is deprecated since Adapty SDK v2.10.5
    
    Adapty.activate(applicationContext, "PUBLIC_SDK_KEY", observerMode = false, customerUserId = "YOUR_USER_ID")
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    Adapty.activate(
      applicationContext,
      new AdaptyConfig.Builder("PUBLIC_SDK_KEY")
    	  .withObserverMode(false) //default false
    	  .withCustomerUserId(customerUserId) //default null
    	  .withIpAddressCollectionDisabled(false) //default false
    	  .build()
    );
  
    //OR
    //the method is deprecated since Adapty SDK v2.10.5
  
    Adapty.activate(getApplicationContext(), "PUBLIC_SDK_KEY", false, "YOUR_USER_ID");
}

Configurational options:

ParameterPresenceDescription
PUBLIC_SDK_KEYrequiredThe key you can find in the Public SDK key field of your app settings in Adapty: App settings-> General tab -> API keys subsection.
Make sure you use the Public SDK key for Adapty initialization, the Secret key should be used for server-side API only.
observerModeoptionalA boolean value that controls Observer mode. Turn it on if you handle purchases and subscription status yourself and use Adapty for sending subscription events and analytics. The default value is false.

🚧 When running in Observer mode, Adapty SDK won't close any transactions, so make sure you're handling it.
customerUserIdoptionalAn identifier of the user in your system. We send it in subscription and analytical events, to attribute events to the right profile. You can also find customers by customerUserId in the Profiles and Segments menu. If you don't have a user ID at the time of Adapty initialization, you can set it later using .identify() method. Read more in the Identifying users section.
idfaCollectionDisabledoptionalA boolean parameter, that allows you to disable IDFA collection for your app. The default value is false. For more details, refer to the Analytics integration section.
IpAddressCollectionDisabledoptionalA boolean parameter. Set to true to disable the collection of the user IP address. The default value is false.
Parameter works with AdaptyConfig.Builder only.

📘

SDK keys are unique for every app, so if you have multiple apps make sure you choose the right one.

Set up the logging system

Adapty logs errors and other important information to help you understand what is going on. There are the following levels available:

LevelDescription
AdaptyLogLevel.NONENothing will be logged. Default value
AdaptyLogLevel.ERROROnly errors will be logged
AdaptyLogLevel.WARNErrors and messages from the SDK that do not cause critical errors, but are worth paying attention to will be logged.
AdaptyLogLevel.INFOErrors, warnings, and various information messages will be logged.
AdaptyLogLevel.VERBOSEAny additional information that may be useful during debugging, such as function calls, API queries, etc. will be logged.

You can set the log level in your app before configuring Adapty.

Adapty.logLevel = AdaptyLogLevel.VERBOSE
Adapty.setLogLevel(AdaptyLogLevel.VERBOSE);

Redirect the logging system messages

If you for some reason need to send messages from Adapty to your system or save them to a file, you can override the default behavior:

Adapty.setLogHandler { level, message ->
    //handle the log
}
Adapty.setLogHandler((level, message) -> {
    //handle the log
});
