React Native - Native Android

This page describes how to setup the Grouplink SDK on the native Android folders of a React-Native project.​

React Native - Android​

1 - Required Permissions​

First, you need to add the required permissions to your Android manifest file (you can find this file inside the android/app/src folder). You can follow the Required Permissions on Android guide to learn more.

2 - Starting BLE and Location Service on Android​

Create an asynchronous function and add the methods startLocationAndroid() and startBluetoothAndroid().

export default function App() {
    useEffect(() => {
//        ...
        requestAndroidPermissions();
    }, []);

    async function requestAndroidPermissions() {
        await GroupLinkSDK.startLocationAndroid();
        await GroupLinkSDK.startBluetoothAndroid();
    }

    return (
        <View style={styles.container}>
            <Text>This is a test application</Text>
        </View>
    );
}

3 - Full Screen Intent and Schedule Exact Alarm Permissions​

export default function App() {
    useEffect(() => {
//        ...
        GroupLinkSDK.requestFullIntentPermissionAndroid();
        GroupLinkSDK.requestScheduleExactAlarmPermissionAndroid();
    }, []);

    return (
        <View style={styles.container}>
            <Text>This is a test application</Text>
        </View>
    );
}
