Getting Started with Java

Here are the steps you need to follow in order to get started with the App42 platform

• Register with the App42 platform.
• Create an App once you are on Quick-start page (after registration)
• If you are already registered, login to the AppHQ console and create an App from the App Manager -> Create App link
• Once the App is created, you will get an ApiKey/SecretKey that you will use in your app for initialization of the SDK.

• Download Java SDK
• Unzip the downloaded Zip file, the unzipped folder contains App42_JAVA_SDK-x.x.jar and other required jar files in lib folder
• Put these jar files in the class path of your Java project.

You have to instantiate ServiceAPI class and pass your ApiKey/SecretKey to initialize the SDK.

   ServiceAPI serviceAPI = new ServiceAPI("YOUR_API_KEY","YOUR_SECRET_KEY"); 

Once you have initialized your SDK with API Key/SecretKey you have to build the target service that you want to use in your App. For example, User Service can be built using the following snippet. Similarly you can build other services with the same notation. Want to know about all the services of App42 Platform? Click Here

//Build User Service
UserService userService = serviceAPI.buildUserService();
// Using userService reference, you should be able to call all its method like create user/update user/authenticate etc.
//Build Storage Service
StorageService storageService = serviceAPI.buildStorageService();
// Using storageService reference, you should be able to call all its method like insert/save/update/delete etc for JSON objects.
//Similarly you can build other services like App42API.buildXXXXService()
