Android Setup Guide

This guide provides Android-specific instructions for integrating Source Push into your React Native application.

Note: For general installation and SDK setup, see the React Native SDK Setup guide first. This page covers only Android-specific configuration steps.

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, ensure you have:

  • Android Studio installed
  • React Native development environment set up
  • Source Push account and access token
  • JDK 11 or newer

Android Platform Setup​

1. Configure the Source Push Maven Repository​

Add the Source Push maven repository in android/build.gradle:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url "https://api.srcpush.com/maven" }
        // ... other repositories
    }
}

2. Update Gradle Settings​

Add the following to android/settings.gradle:

include ':app', ':react-native-code-push'
project(':react-native-code-push').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/@srcpush/react-native-code-push/android/app')

3. Update App Gradle​

Modify android/app/build.gradle:

apply from: "../../node_modules/@srcpush/react-native-code-push/android/codepush.gradle"

android {
    defaultConfig {
        // ... other configs
        buildConfigField "String", "CODEPUSH_KEY", '"Your-Deployment-Key"'
    }
}

4. Configure MainApplication.java​

Add Source Push initialization to your MainApplication.java as described in the React Native SDK Setup guide.

5. Add Source Push Configuration to strings.xml​

<resources>
    <string moduleConfig="true" name="CodePushDeploymentKey">Your-Deployment-Key</string>
    <string moduleConfig="true" name="CodePushServerUrl">https://api.srcpush.com</string>
</resources>
