Overview

This document describes how to integrate the online channel push capabilities of the Tencent Push Notification Service SDK using two methods: automatic integration with Android Studio Gradle and manual integration with Android Studio. If you want your push to be received even when the application process is killed, complete the integration operations provided in this document and integrate with vendor channels as instructed in the Vendor Channel Integration Guide.

SDK Integration (Two Methods)

Automatic integration with Android Studio Gradle

Directions

Caution:
Before configuring the SDK, make sure you have created an application for the Android platform.
1. Log in to the Tencent Push Notification Service console and get the application's AccessID and AccessKey in Product Management > Configuration Management.
2. Get the version number of the latest SDK on the SDK Download page.
3. Configure the following in the build.gradle file of the application:
android {
 ......
 defaultConfig {

     // The package name registered in the console. Note that the application ID, the current application package name, and the application package name registered in the console must be the same.
     applicationId "your package name"
     ......

     ndk {
         // Add .so libraries corresponding to the CPU type as needed.
         abiFilters 'armeabi', 'armeabi-v7a', 'arm64-v8a'
         // You can also add 'x86', 'x86_64', 'mips', and 'mips64'
     }

     manifestPlaceholders = [

         XG_ACCESS_ID : "accessid of the registered app",
         XG_ACCESS_KEY : "accesskey of the registered app",
     ]
     ......
 }
 ......
}

dependencies {
 ......
 // Add the following dependencies:             
 implementation 'com.tencent.tpns:tpns:[VERSION]-release' 
       // For Tencent Push Notification Service push, [VERSION] is the latest SDK version number obtained in step 2 above
}
Note:
If the service access point of your application is Guangzhou, the SDK implements this configuration by default.
If the service access point of your application is Shanghai, Singapore, or Hong Kong (China), follow the step to complete the configuration; otherwise, the push service registration will fail, with an error code -502 or 1008003 returned. Add the following metadata in the application tag in the AndroidManifest file:
<application>
  // Other Android components
  <meta-data
          android:name="XG_SERVER_SUFFIX"
          android:value="Domain names of other service access points" />
</application>


Note：
The domain names of other service access points are as follows:
Shanghai: tpns.sh.tencent.com
Singapore: tpns.sgp.tencent.com
Hong Kong (China): tpns.hk.tencent.com
Points for attention
If the following notification appears in Android Studio after you add the above-mentioned abiFilter configuration: "NDK integration is deprecated in the current plugin. Consider trying the new experimental plugin", you need to add android.useDeprecatedNdk=true in the gradle.properties file under the project root directory.
If you need to listen for messages, see the XGPushBaseReceiver API or the MessageReceiver class in the demo (in the SDK compression package, which can be obtained from SDK Download). You can inherit XGPushBaseReceiver and configure the following content in the configuration file (do not process time-consuming operations in the receiver):
<receiver android:name="com.tencent.android.xg.cloud.demo.MessageReceiver">
 <intent-filter>
     <!-- Receive in-app messages -->
     <action android:name="com.tencent.android.xg.vip.action.PUSH_MESSAGE" />
     <!-- Listen for results of registration, unregistration, tag setting/deletion, and notification clicks -->
     <action android:name="com.tencent.android.xg.vip.action.FEEDBACK" />
 </intent-filter>
</receiver>
For compatibility with Android P, you must add and use the Apache HTTP client library. To do this, add the following configuration to the AndroidManifest application node.
<uses-library android:name="org.apache.http.legacy" android:required="false"/>

Manual integration with Android Studio

Go to SDK Download to get the latest SDK version and import it into your Android project as instructed.

Configuring the project

Import the SDK into the project as follows:
1. Create or open an Android project.
2. Copy all the .jar files in the libs directory under the Tencent Push Notification Service SDK directory to the project's libs (or lib) directory.
3. .so files are necessary components of Tencent Push Notification Service and support armeabi, armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a, mips, mips64, x86, and x86_64 platforms. Add the appropriate platform currently supported by your .so files.
4. Open Androidmanifest.xml and add the following configurations (we recommend you modify these configurations according to the Merged Manifest file in the demo provided in the download package). Make sure the configurations are completed as required. Otherwise, the service may not work properly.

Configuring permissions

The permissions required by the Tencent Push Notification Service SDK to operate normally. Sample code is as follows:
<!-- **(Required)** Permissions required by Tencent Push Notification Service SDK VIP version -->

Note：
The domain names of other service access points are as follows:
Shanghai:tpns.sh.tencent.com
Singapore: tpns.sgp.tencent.com
Hong Kong (China): tpns.hk.tencent.com

Debugging and Registering Devices

Enabling debug log data

Note：
When launching your application, set the field to false to disable debug log data.
XGPushConfig.enableDebug(this,true);

Registering with token

Call the push registration API where you need to start the push service:
Note:
You are advised to call the registration API only in the main process of your app.
XGPushManager.registerPush(this, new XGIOperateCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(Object data, int flag) {
        // The token may change after you uninstall and then reinstall the SDK in a device.
        Log.d("TPush", "Registration succeeded. Device token: " + data);
    }

    @Override
    public void onFail(Object data, int errCode, String msg) {
        Log.d("TPush", "Registration failed. Error code: " + errCode + "; error message: " + msg);
    }
});
The log of successful registration filtered by "TPush" is as follows:
TPNS register push success with token : 6ed8af8d7b18049d9fed116a9db9c71ab44d5565

Disabling log printing

If you call XGPushConfig.enableDebug(context, false) to disable SDK debugging logs, the SDK still prints certain daily run logs (including the Tencent Push Notification Service token) by default.
You can call the following method in Application.onCreate to stop printing such daily run logs in the console：
new XGPushConfig.Build(context).setLogLevel(Log.ERROR);

Code Obfuscation

If you perform code obfuscation by using tools such as ProGuard in your project, keep the following options; otherwise, the Tencent Push Notification Service will become unavailable:
-keep public class * extends android.app.Service
-keep public class * extends android.content.BroadcastReceiver
-keep class com.tencent.android.tpush.** {*;}
-keep class com.tencent.tpns.baseapi.** {*;} 
-keep class com.tencent.tpns.mqttchannel.** {*;}
-keep class com.tencent.tpns.dataacquisition.** {*;}

-keep class com.tencent.bigdata.baseapi.** {*;}   // This configuration item is not required on v1.2.0.1 or later
-keep class com.tencent.bigdata.mqttchannel.** {*;}  // This configuration item is not required on v1.2.0.1 or later
Note:
If the Tencent Push Notification Service SDK is included in the application's common SDK, you still need to configure obfuscation rules for the main project application even though the common SDK includes obfuscation rules.

Advanced Configuration (Optional)

Disabling session keep-alive

To disable the feature, call the following API in onCreate of Application or LauncherActivity during application initialization and pass in false:
Note:
The session keep-alive feature can be disabled only in SDK v1.1.6.0 or later. In SDKs earlier than v1.1.6.0, the feature is enabled by default and cannot be disabled.
Starting from Tencent Push Notification Service SDK v1.2.6.0, the session keep-alive feature is disabled by default, and you do not need to call this API.
XGPushConfig.enablePullUpOtherApp(Context context, boolean pullUp);
If you use Gradle automatic integration, configure the following node under the <application> tag of the AndroidManifest.xml file of your application, where xxx is a custom name. For manual integration, modify node attributes as follows:
<!-- Add the following node to the `AndroidManifest.xml` file of your application, where xxx is a custom name: -->     
<!-- To disable the feature of keep-alive with Tencent Push Notification Service, configure as follows: -->
<provider
         android:name="com.tencent.android.tpush.XGPushProvider"
         tools:replace="android:authorities"
         android:authorities="application package name.xxx.XGVIP_PUSH_AUTH"
         android:exported="false" />
If the following log is printed in the console, the session keep-alive feature has been disabled: I/TPush: [ServiceUtil] disable pull up other app

Suggestions on getting the Tencent Push Notification Service token

After you integrate the SDK, we recommend that you use gestures or other methods to display the Tencent Push Notification Service token in the application's less commonly used UIs such as About or Feedback. The console and RESTful APIs need to use the token to push messages. Subsequent troubleshooting will also need the token for problem locating. Sample code:
// Get the token
XGPushConfig.getToken(getApplicationContext());

Suggestions on getting Tencent Push Notification Service running logs

The SDK provides a log reporting API. If you encounter push-related problems after the application is launched, trigger this API to upload SDK running logs and get the download address of the log file returned by the callback to facilitate troubleshooting. For more information, see here.
Sample code:
XGPushManager.uploadLogFile(context, new HttpRequestCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(String result) {
        Log.d("TPush", "Upload succeeded. File address:" + result);
    }
        @Override
    public void onFailure(int errCode, String errMsg) {
        Log.d("TPush", "Upload failed. Error code:" + errCode + ", error message:" + errMsg);
    }
});

Suggestions on privacy policy statement

When applying for application permissions, you can use the following content to declare the purpose of authorization:
We use Tencent Push Notification Service to push product information. After you authorize us the `android.permission.INTERNET` and `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` permissions, you agree to the Tencent SDK Privacy Agreement. You can refuse to accept this SDK push service by disabling the notification option on the terminal device.
The links to the two authorization items mentioned above are as follows:
