Jacquard Android SDK

Getting started

Jacquard™ by Google weaves new digital experiences into the things you love, wear, and use every day to give you the power to do more and be more. Jacquard SDK is a way to connect Jacquard interactions within your apps. Create an app and bring it to life with swipes and taps through the Jacquard SDK.

What do I need to get started?

The Android Jacquard SDK supports Android versions 23 and greater.

You will need the Jacquard Tag with a supported Jacquard product (all come with one tag). Currently supported products are:

  • Levi's Trucker Jacket
  • Samsonite Konnect-i backpack
  • Saint Laurent Cit-e Backpack
    You can find links to purchase these products on the Google Jacquard website.

Sample App

To run the example project,

  • Clone the git repo
  • Open sample app build.gradle file and update your keys as below. 
    buildConfigField "String", "API_KEY", "\"<Your-api-key>\""
buildConfigField "String", "MAPS_API_KEY", "\"<Maps-api-key>\""
resValue("string", "maps_api_key", "\"<Maps-api-key>\"")

    You can obtain API_KEY on Google Jacquard website whereas MAPS_API_KEY can be obtained from Google Maps Platform.

  • You are now all set to run the sample app.

Next Steps
