Install the SDK (manual)

Install
  1. Download the components from the file links shown above.
  2. For the Miura reader,
    drag and drop
    mpos.android.core.aar
    ,
    mpos.android.ui.aar
    ,
    mpos.java.accessories.miura.jar
    ,
    mpos.android.comlinks.bluetooth.aar
    , and
    mpos.java.comlinks.tcp.jar
    into the "libs" folder of your project.
  3. The SDK requires many third-party libraries, which are all available through Maven Central. Add the libraries in the
    dependencies
    section of your
    build.gradle
    file:
dependencies { // Add the *.aar wildcard to include any Android libraries in the libs folder implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar', '*.aar']) // Kotlin implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:1.3.20' // Google services implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:10.2.1' // Android support libraries implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0' implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:28.0.0' implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:28.0.0' implementation 'com.squareup:otto:1.3.5' implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.7.4' implementation 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.2.1' implementation 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.5.0' implementation 'com.couchbase.lite:couchbase-lite-android:1.4.0' implementation 'com.couchbase.lite:couchbase-lite-android-forestdb:1.4.0' }
Alternatively, you can add the local
libs
directory as a
repository
in the Repositories section in your
build.gradle
file. Adding the directory enables you to specify the SDK libraries similar to the regular integration instructions.
repositories { mavenCentral() flatDir name: 'localRepository', dirs: 'libs' }
4. For version
2.45.0
and higher, make sure the app supports Java 8 features by setting the Compatibility levels:
android{ compileOptions { sourceCompatibility = 1.8 targetCompatibility = 1.8 } }
5. Make sure to update your
AndroidManifest.xml
file to enable a larger heap size by setting
android:largeHeap="true"
. This setting is required to accommodate situations in which an update of the terminals is required and bigger chunks of data are requested and transferred.
