This SDK serves as a bridge between a merchant's app and the PortOne Payment Gateway, providing a comprehensive set of tools and features tailored specifically for handling payment transactions.
The PortOne Android SDK empowers merchants to unlock the full potential of their Android applications by seamlessly integrating a reliable and secure payment gateway, enhancing user experience, and driving business growth through efficient payment processing capabilities
Video Tutorial#
The following two video tutorials provide a detailed guide on integrating the PortOne Android SDK with your application to enable seamless payment processing:
Part-1: Installation of Android Native SDK#
- In this tutorial, you will learn how to install the PortOne Android Native SDK in your Android application. The video will walk you through the process of adding the SDK as a dependency and authorising it, setting the foundation for integrating the PortOne Payment Gateway. Part-1 : Installation of Android Native SDK
Part 2: Initialising the SDK and Setting Intent Filters#
- The second part of the tutorial focuses on initializing the PortOne SDK within your application and setting up intent filters to receive payment status updates. By following these steps, you will establish the necessary components for a smooth payment processing flow within your Android app. Part 2: Initialise the SDK and Set Intent Filters to receive the Payment Status
Sample App#
Check the sample app to integrate on GitHub
Prerequisites#
- **Create an account on PortOne:** Before proceeding with the integration, ensure you have created an account on PortOne to access their services and functionalities.
- Enable Payment Channels and Methods: Customize and enable the specific payment channels and methods that align with your business requirements and preferences.
- Access API KeysLogin to the portone portal where you can access the API Keys (portone key and secret key) for integrations under Settings -> API tab.
- authKeyto access the SDK: Obtain an authorization key (- authKey) from the PortOne Team, as it is required to securely access and utilize the features of the PortOne SDK in your Android application.- authKeywill be issued by the PortOne Team by sending us email on this in.dev@portone.io
Integration#
Steps to integrate your Android application with PortOne Android SDK.
- Install PortOne Android SDK and Authorise it.
- Initialise the PortOneInstance
- Set the Intent Filters in the Manifests
- Set Intent Receivers for Payment Status
- Setup to Obtain JWT Token from the Server
1. Install PortOne Android SDK and Authorise it.#
- Add the PortOne Android SDK as a dependency in your application's - build.gradlefile.
- Authorise the SDK using the provided - authKeyin your- gradle.propertiesfile.
- To utilize the - authKeyfor accessing the PortOne SDK in your project's- build.gradleor- settings.gradle, you can follow these steps:- Build.gradle (:Project) Setup: 
- Settings.gradle Setup: 
 
- To include the necessary lines of code in your - build.gradle(:Project) file, mentioning the project dependency and specifying the Kotlin version, you can follow this structure:
2.   Initialize the PortOne Instance:#
- Create an instance of the - PortOneSDK in the activity where the payment checkout process occurs.
- Initialize the SDK with the appropriate environment (sandbox or live). 
3. Set the Intent Filters in the Manifests#
- To add an Intent Filter to the activity in your AndroidManifest.xml file so that users are navigated to a specific activity (default being Checkout Activity) after payment completion
In this setup:
- The <activity>tag specifies the activity to which the Intent Filter applies.
- The <intent-filter>block defines the conditions under which the activity should be launched.
- The <data>tag specifies the scheme and host required in the incoming Intent for it to be directed to this activity after payment completion.
Update the activity name (e.g., .CheckoutActivity) as per your actual activity name and place this Intent Filter configuration within the corresponding <activity> tag in the AndroidManifest.xml file to handle post-payment navigation effectively.
By configuring the scheme as "portone" and host as "checkout" within the <data> tag of the Intent Filter, your Android application will be able to intercept the redirection URL with the format "portone://checkout" and navigate the user to the specified activity (e.g., CheckoutActivity) after payment completion. Adjust the activity name in the configuration according to your actual activity name for proper redirection handling.
4. Set Intent Receivers for Payment Status:#
Implement intent receivers and listeners to receive payment status updates within your application.
The provided method onActivityResult is essential for handling the result of a launched activity, which in this case is used to receive the checkout status after completing a payment. Here's a breakdown of the functionality in the method:
- Handle Payment Status Response:- Extract the payment status information from the received Intent based on the request code.
- Populate the paymentStatusobject with the relevant data from the Intent extras.
 
- Display Payment Status in the UI:- Concatenate the payment status details into a formatted string for display.
- Update the UI element (e.g., tvPaymentStatus) with the formatted payment status information.
 
This implementation allows your Checkout Activity to process the payment status response efficiently and update the UI accordingly based on the received payment status data.
5. Have a setup to get JWT token from the server#
To set up the process of obtaining a JWT token from the server, you need to construct a JWT token that accepts the portoneKey as input. Here's an outline of the steps involved in setting up this process:
- JWT Token Construction: - Implement the server-side logic to generate a JWT token using the - portoneKeyas a key component of the token payload.
- Token Retrieval in Android App: - Implement logic in your Android application to make a server request to retrieve the JWT token using the portoneKey.
- Receive and store the returned token securely within the app for subsequent API authentication.
 
- Implement logic in your Android application to make a server request to retrieve the JWT token using the 
Android Connect#
Android Connect SDK empowers merchants with advanced business logic functionalities, focusing solely on core processing capabilities without the inclusion of pre-built user interface components. This design choice offers flexibility to merchants, allowing them the freedom to craft and customize their own unique checkout interface tailored to their brand aesthetics and user experience preferences.
