Initialize Gameball SDK

Create a GameballApp instance.

To create a GameballApp instance you need to call the getInstance method and pass it a Context instance of the current Activity holding the GameballApp.

Java

GameballApp gameballApp = GameballApp.getInstance(getApplicationContext());

Kotlin

val gameballApp = GameballApp.getInstance(applicationContext)

Initialize GameballApp Instance

To initialize GameballApp instance in your application class, use the init method which takes the following parameters:

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
APIKey	string	Yes	Client API key
lang	string	No	Your platform language preference to view Gameball Widget with. Note: The language provided should be as per configured languages in your account. If not provided the Gameball profile widget will be shown with your account default language Example: "en", "fr".
platform	string	No	Your platform name
shop	string	No	Your shop name.

Java

// Using the instantiated instance of GameballApp
gameballApp.init("{your API Key}", "{lang}", "{your Platform name}", "{your Shop name}");

//You can access the init method directly as follows
GameballApp.getInstance(getApplicationContext()).init("{your API Key}", "{lang}", "{your Platform name}", "{your Shop name}");

Kotlin

// Using the instantiated instance of GameballApp
gameballApp.init("{your API Key}", "{lang}", "{your Platform name}", "{your Shop name}")

//You can access the init method directly as follows
GameballApp.getInstance(applicationContext).init("{your API Key}", "{lang}", "{your Platform name}", "{your Shop name}")
