Setup Android

The AusweisApp SDK Wrapper for android is available as a maven package in the default repository of Android. To use it, make the following adjustments to your Gradle configuration:

1. Make sure that the repositories section includes the governikus repository:

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

2. Add the library to the dependencies section:

implementation 'com.governikus.ausweisapp:sdkwrapper:2.4.0'

Initialization of the Android Application

The integrated SDK used by the AusweisApp SDK Wrapper creates a fork of the Android “main” Application once started. Due to this, the Application is instantiated a second time. Thus, it must ensure that any initialization (e.g. Firebase connections) is only carried out once. To do so the following snippet may prove useful:

class MyAwesomeApp : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()

        if (getProcessName().endsWith("ausweisapp2_service"))
            return
    }
}
