Our sample app using the PingOne Fraud for Android SDK.

Getting Started

You’ll find a sample app using the PingOne Fraud for Android SDK

To integrate the PingOne Fraud for Android SDK on your client:

Add the mavenCentral repository to your root build.gradle file:

allprojects {
     repositories {
         mavenCentral()
     }
 }

Add the PingOne Fraud for Android SDK to your application dependencies.

Add the following to your application-level build.gradle file:

implementation "com.pingidentity.pingonefraud:android-sdk:${LATEST_VERSION}"

Initialize the SDK. Extend the Application class and add the following inside the onCreate method:

public class MyApplication extends Application {
 @Override
 public <span class="hljs-keyword">void</span> onCreate() {
     <span class="hljs-keyword">super</span>.onCreate();

     <span class="hljs-comment">// optional</span>
     SecuredTouchSDK.setEventListener(<span class="hljs-keyword">new</span> StatusEventListener() {
         @Override
         public <span class="hljs-keyword">void</span> onError(@NonNull <span class="hljs-built_in">String</span> uuid, @NonNull <span class="hljs-built_in">String</span> message, int code) {
             Log.i(<span class="hljs-string">"SecuredTouchSDK"</span>, <span class="hljs-string">"onError "</span> + message + <span class="hljs-string">" code: "</span> + code + <span class="hljs-string">" uuid: "</span> + uuid);
         }

         @Override
         public <span class="hljs-keyword">void</span> onInitialized(@NonNull <span class="hljs-built_in">String</span> uuid) {
             Log.i(<span class="hljs-string">"SecuredTouchSDK "</span>, <span class="hljs-string">"onInitialized "</span> + uuid);
         }
     });

     STInitParams initParams = <span class="hljs-keyword">new</span> STInitParams(&lt;appId&gt;, &lt;appSecret&gt;, &lt;serverHost&gt;)
         .setUserId(&lt;currentUserId&gt;)
         .setSessionId(&lt;sessionId&gt;)
         .setDebugMode(BuildConfig.DEBUG)
         .setConsoleLogEnabled(BuildConfig.DEBUG);

     SecuredTouchSDK.init(this, initParams);
 }

}

Parameter	Description
`appId`	The PingOne application ID. See the PingOne Fraud admin documentation for instructions on getting the PingOne Fraud SDK access credentials.
`appSecret`	The PingOne application secret. See the PingOne Fraud admin documentation for instructions on getting the PingOne Fraud SDK access credentials.
`serverHost`	The Fraud service host. See the PingOne Fraud admin documentation for instructions on getting this information.
`userId`	If the user is already identified (signed on) when initializing the Fraud SDK, their user ID should be set here. If the user ID originates from PingOne, use the user ID for the PingOne environment. For all other cases, use a non-personal user identifier.
`sessionId`	The user’s session ID. To query the Fraud service for the trust scores through the backend system, the Fraud service and the backend system must have a shared identifier for each session. The session ID usually serves as this shared identifier.
`consoleLogEnabled`	(Optional) Set this to `true` to enable console logging by the SDK. Defaults to `false`.
`externalLogsEnabled`	(Optional) Set this to `false` to prevent the SDK from sending error logs to an external logging service. Defaults to `true`.

Set an event listener to get calls on successful SDK initialization, or for when something goes wrong in the SDK.

Parameter	Description
`uuid`	Unique identifier for the entire lifetime of the SDK. This value stays the same as long as the app’s process is alive. Also available through `SecuredTouchSDK.getInstanceUUID();`.
`message`	The nature of the failure.
`code`	Internal error code.

Fetch a Fraud token. The SDK generates a token that’s used for Fraud BOT detection capabilities. You’ll need to share the token with your application backend so a call with the fetched token can be sent from this backend to the Fraud Evaluation API to retrieve the risk assessment for a session.

Note: You need to pass this token each time you call the Fraud Evaluations API, even though the clientToken property for the Fraud Evaluations API is indicated as optional, and whether or not your use case includes bot detection.

To get the token from the Fraud SDK, add a call to:
```
SecuredTouchSDK.getToken();
```
An event is fired every time the token changes. For example:
```
SecuredTouchSDK.setTokenReadyListener(new TokenReadyListener() {
   @Override
   public void onTokenReady() {
     Log.i("com.securedtouch", "token ready: " + SecuredTouchSDK.getToken());
   }
 });
```
Don’t use your application to store the token, and instead share the token stored by the SDK.
User log in and log out. You can do this differently, depending on the following:
- When the application receives the user ID, or any other unique identifier of the user (for example, after sign on), add the call:
```
SecuredTouchSDK.login(<user-id>);
```
- If you have a session ID, you can use:
```
SecuredTouchSDK.login(<user-id>, <session-id>);
```
- If the application loses the unique identifier of the user (for example, after sign off), add a call to:
```
SecuredTouchSDK.logout();
```
- On sign off, the Fraud SDK clears the session ID by default. If you have a session ID after the user has signed off, use the following call instead of the call above:
```
SecuredTouchSDK.logout(<session-id>);
```
Set the session ID. To query the Fraud service for the trust scores through the backend system, the Fraud service and the backend system must have a shared identifier for each session. The session ID usually serves as this shared identifier. To set the session ID after the application has it, call:
```
SecuredTouchSDK.setSessionId(<session-id>);
```
Add meaningful IDs to input fields and buttons. Meaningful IDs are required to ensure proper identification of the UI element for detection purposes. Here’s an example for a meaningful ID that can be added to a Login button:
```
android:id="@+id/button_login"
```
Add tags. You can tag specific points in time during a session that will be saved by the Fraud service. Tags can be added remotely by the PingOne Fraud platform (using CSS selectors), or programmatically using JavaScript or HTML attributes.
- To add a single tag, use:
```
SecuredTouchSDK.addTag(<tag-name>);
```
- To add a tag with additional information, use:
```
SecuredTouchSDK.addTag(<tag-name>, <value>);
```
- To add multiple tags:
```
SecuredTouchSDK.addTag(<tag-name>, <value>). addTag(<tag-name>);
```
Flush the buffer. Flushing the buffer forces the SDK to send buffered data to directly to the PingOne Fraud backend platform. Usually the built-in automatic flush should be sufficient, so this function should not be used unless instructed to do so by Ping Identity Professional Services.
```
SecuredTouchSDK.flush();
```

Useful operations

Pause or resume the PingOne Fraud SDK activity, networking, and data collection:

Option	Command	Description
Pause the SDK	`SecuredTouchSDK.pause();`	Causes the current state and session ID to be saved, and used on resuming SDK operations.
Resume the SDK	`SecuredTouchSDK.resume();`	Resumes normal SDK operations.

Pause or resume behavioral data collection:

Option	Command	Description
Pause behavioral data collection	`SecuredTouch.pauseBehavioralData()`	The SDK stops collecting events related to physical interaction (such as, touchscreen, device sensors, and keyboard). All other SDK activity continues as normal.
Resume behavioral data collection	`SecuredTouch.resumeBehavioralData()`	Resumes SDK operations related to physical events.

Get a unique identifier for the entire lifetime of the SDK: SecuredTouchSDK.getInstanceUUID();.

Context APIs

PingOne Fraud does not collect email addresses or phone numbers, but their anonymized features instead (such as, email domain, length, phone number, and country code).

Login page

  SecuredTouchSDK.LOGIN.loginAttemptEmail("email@example.com");
// For social login
SecuredTouchSDK.LOGIN.loginAttempt(SocialType.GOOGLE);

The SocialType value can be: FACEBOOK, GOOGLE, APPLE, TWITTER, LINKEDIN, or a custom string. For example: SecuredTouchSDK.LOGIN.loginAttempt("custom_provider");.

On a successful sign-on attempt, call the accountCreationTime method with the UNIX epoch timestamp (in seconds) of the account creation time. For example: SecuredTouchSDK.LOGIN.accountCreationTime(EPOCH_TIME_IN_SECONDS);.
On failed sign-on attempt, call the loginFailed method. For example: SecuredTouchSDK.LOGIN.loginFailed();.
