Android - Getting Started

Add the Klarna Mobile SDK repository in the apps build.gradle file.

    repositories {
        maven {
            url 'https://x.klarnacdn.net/mobile-sdk/'
        }
    }

If you’re using Java, add compile options to support Java version 1.8 in the apps build.gradle.

    android {
        ...
        compileOptions {
            sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
            targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        }
        ...
    }

Add the SDK as a dependency to your app’s build.gradle:

    dependencies {
        implementation 'com.klarna.mobile:sdk:2.x.x'
    }

For more information check out the Klarna Mobile SDK Github repository.

Both the hybrid and native integrations might, at some point, open third-party applications. To automatically return the user, these third-party applications need to know how to build a return intent or URL.

To do that, you’ll need to provide the SDK with what we call a “return URL” parameter. If you haven’t done so already, You can register an intent-filter for the Activity you’d like to return to in your app’s AndroidManifest.xml:

<application...>
    <activity...>
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
        
            <data android:scheme="<your-custom-scheme>" />
            <data android:host="<your-custom-host>" />
        </intent-filter>

You can read more about how deeplinks and intent filters work on the Android Developers site.

There are some base properties that every integration in our SDK separately defines and uses in the process. These properties are declared in an Interface called `KlarnaComponent` that each integration implements and you can set or get their values:

Some of the classes that implement these properties are

• KlarnaPaymentView
• KlarnaCheckoutView
• KlarnaHybridSDK
• KlarnaSignInButton
• …

The SDK will log events and errors to the system’s log while running. You can set the logging level for the SDK using the `loggingLevel` property:

// Example of how to set the logging level for an integration
val KlarnaPaymentView = KlarnaPaymentView(...)
KlarnaPaymentView.loggingLevel = KlarnaLoggingLevel.Verbose

Possible values to set as the logging level:

The SDK will require access to the internet, as such, if you don’t explicitly declare access in your manifest, we will merge manifests to get access.
