Android SDK - Technical Guide

Overview
This document helps developers to integrate the Cardknox Payments SDK with an Android app project using the gradle build system.
Technical Overview
The SDK is distributed as an .aar
SDK expects to be provided the androidx.cardview package externally, such as via the gradle rule implementation 'androidx.cardview:cardview:1.0.0'
App launch specifics:
AndroidManifest.xml file registers a mono.MonoRuntimeProvider ContentProvider, responsible for loading the Mono runtime on app launch
Supported architectures:
arm64-v8a
Package name is cardknox.payments.sdk
Getting started
To start:
1.Add the obtained aar file to your Android Studio project, for example into the app module libs folder; and register the .aar in the app's build.gradle
2.Provide the androidx.cardview dependency either explicitly or as a transitive dependency of some other package, such as com.google.android.material
CardknoxPaymentsSDK aar registration
dependencies {
  implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['Cardknox.Payments.SDK.aar'])
  
  // Option 1: explicitly provide the androidx.cardview dependency for the SDK
  implementation 'androidx.cardview:cardview:1.0.0'
  
  // Option 2: implicitly provide the androidx.cardview dependency via the google.material package
  implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.5.0'
}
