Developing Applications in the Android Development Environment

After you import mobile applications and associated libraries into the Android development environment, use the Android API references to customize your device applications.

This section provides a quick reference to APIs used for developing Android Applications.

• Initializing an Application
  Initialize an application.
• Setting Connection Profile
  Set the server details.
• Manually Registering an Application
  Manually register an application by using the user name and activation code of the application registered through the Sybase Control Center.
• Automatically Registering an Application using SSO2 Cookie
  Registering an application automatically using an SSO2 Token Cookie. This token is fetched from a ticket issuing system and verified by the server.
• Automatically Registering an Application using HTTP Authentication Provider
  Registering an application automatically using the HTTP Authentication Provider.
• Automatically Registering an Application using X.509 Certificate
  Registering an application automatically using an X.509 Certificate. This certificate is fetched from a Certificate Authority and verified by the server.
• Storing the Application Credentials Securely
  Post user registration, if you want the user credentials to be managed by SDK, you can provide a data vault password to securely store the data.
• Getting Application End-point
  Retrieve the application end-point that corresponds to the gateway service document.
• Getting the Push End-point
  Retrieve the push end-point that corresponds to the delivery address that the application uses in the subscription request for notifications.
• Getting Server Details
  Retrieve the SUP server host name.
• Getting Port Number
  Retrieve the port number provisioned in the client repository.
• Getting FarmID
  Retrieve the Farm ID of the SUP Server.
• Checking the Provisioning Status of the Public Key
  Check if the public key is provisioned on the client.
• Deleting Users
  Deletes a registered user. If the user credentials are managed by SDK, this API deletes the user credentials from the vault and deletes the user from the server.
• Getting Application Seed Data from Afaria
  Get the application seed data from Afaria.
• Provisioning Connection Settings from Afaria
  Connection Settings for an application can be provisioned using the Afaria client that is installed on the mobile device.
• Provisioning Certificates using Afaria
  Certificates can be provisioned for Android devices using Afaria.
• Clearing the Server Verification Key
  For a device to switch connection between SUP servers, this API is invoked before registering a new user. This ensures that the server public keys are removed from the SUP client SDK which enables connectivity to the new SUP Server.
• Enabling Online Push for Applications
  To consume push messages, the application registers a listener object.The client SDK notifies this listener object whenever there is a push message from the server. The listener object should implement the ISDMNetListener interface.
• Enabling the Listener for Proxy Setting Changes
  To consume updates when there are changes in the Proxy settings, the application registers a listener object.The client SDK notifies this listener object whenever there is a settings update from the server. The listener object should implement the SUPLiteConfigurationChangeListener interface.
• Data Vault API References
  The data vault is a secure storage area provided by the SUP 2.1 SDK client libraries to store sensitive data such as usernames, passwords, authentication certificates within the application. Access to the data vault is protected by two levels of passwords and unique salts.
