SPARQL-ANDROID

This project uses the SPARQL-JAVA project as a basis.

Examples : look at com.bordercloud.sparqlAndroidApp.MainActivity

Install this module inside the Android application

Steps 1 and 2 can be skipped if already followed while publishing a library

Step 1 : Generate a Personal Access Token for GitHub

• Inside you GitHub account:
  • Settings -> Developer Settings -> Personal Access Tokens -> Generate new token
  • Make sure you select the following scopes ("read:packages") and Generate a token
  • After Generating make sure to copy your new personal access token. You won’t be able to see it again!

Step 2: Store your GitHub - Personal Access Token details

• Create a github.properties file within your root Android project
• In case of a public repository make sure you add this file to .gitignore for keep the token private
  • Add properties gpr.usr=GITHUB_USERID and gpr.key=PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN
  • Replace GITHUB_USERID with personal / organisation Github User ID and PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN with the token generated in #Step 1

Alternatively you can also add the GPR_USER and GPR_API_KEY values to your environment variables on you local machine or build server to avoid creating a github properties file

Step 3: Update build.gradle inside the application

• Add the following code to build.gradle inside the application module that will be using the library published on GitHub Packages Repository

def githubProperties = new Properties()
githubProperties.load(new FileInputStream(rootProject.file("github.properties")))

    repositories {
        maven {
            name = "GitHubPackages
            url = uri("https://maven.pkg.github.com/bordercloud/SPARQL-ANDROID")

            credentials {
                username = githubProperties['gpr.usr'] ?: System.getenv("GPR_USER")
                password = githubProperties['gpr.key'] ?: System.getenv("GPR_API_KEY")
            }
        }
    }

• inside dependencies of the build.gradle of app module, use the following code

dependencies {
    //consume library
    implementation 'com.bordercloud:SPARQL-ANDROID'
	...
}

• If you have a problem, try

android {
        ...

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