Introduction
Symphony Android Messaging Framework is an Android library module. Developer can use this library to build a version of the messaging app with some customized implementation.
Customizable Areas
You can customize the following areas by providing your customized implementation.
Storage
- Network Communication
- Text User Interface
- Attachment Handler
- SharedPreferences
Sample Application
You can check out the Symphony Messaging App for Good Technology app to see how we provided the customized implementation of the above areas. https://github.com/SymphonyOSF/SAndroid-Shared
Setup
You'll need to include the Symphony AAR file in your list of Gradle dependencies.
dependencies {
implementation("com.symphony:android-messaging-lib:[email protected]") {
transitive = true
}
}
You'll then need to include the Symphony LoginActivity in your application's list of activities.
If you are not planning on customizing the framework, you can set the package
to com.symphony.android.messaging
and the application should run without modifications.
The @style/Theme.Symphony
is also important to set to get the UI to display as intended.
