Requirements and installation for Android

Requirements

We recommend adding the following values to your AndroidManifest.xml file:

• android:minSdkVersion="7"
• android:targetSdkVersion="22" or the latest version

For more, see the <uses-sdk> page on the Android Developers website.

Install the SDK JAR file

You can get the Splunk MINT SDK for Android by downloading the Java package file (mint-4.4.0.jar) and adding the JAR file to your project build path.

You can also download:

• A splunk-mint-4.4.0.zip file that includes the JAR file and the documentation.

• An md5 checksum file to verify the download.

Install the SDK plugin using Maven

If you use Apache Maven (version 3.0.5 and later), get the SDK plugin by doing the following:

1. Add the following dependency to your pom.xml file:

<dependencies>

    <!-- other dependencies here -->

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.splunk.mint</groupId>
        <artifactId>mint</artifactId>
        <version>4.4.0</version>
    </dependency>

</dependencies>

2. Add the repository details to the pom.xml file:

<repositories>

    <!-- other repositories here -->

    <repository>
        <id>Splunk MINT repo</id>
        <name>The Splunk MINT Repository</name>
        <url>https://mint.splunk.com/maven/</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Install the SDK plugin using Gradle

You can use the Gradle plugin for Android to add the Splunk MINT repository to your project. We recommend using Gradle version 1.10 for best results. Add the dependency to your build.gradle file, which is located in the root folder of your project, as follows:

apply plugin: 'android'

repositories {
    maven {
        url "https://mint.splunk.com/gradle/"
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile "com.splunk.mint:mint:4.4.0"
}

For more information about Gradle, see the Gradle Plugin User Guide on the Android Tools Project Site.

Note The https://mint.splunk.com/gradle/ URL is a base URL. The full path to the repository is completed by the plugin.
