Huawei Mobile Services starter project for native Android

Welcome to Huawei's workshop at HackZurich 2021 !

You have a bunch of fresh ideas and you aspire to make them possible with the help of the Huawei Mobile Services (HMS). We feel your enthusiasm - that's why we prepared this starter project that will allow you to start coding immediately and avoid time consuming configuration steps.

I'm in!

1. fork/clone this project
2. visit the workshop Slack channel #03_ws04_huawei
3. look for the file with secrets (direct link )
4. unzip the file into the project's root directory
5. start coding!

What just happened? Am I really ready to go?

Yes!! The starter project is a native Android skeleton app that:

• has the main HMS Kits added as dependencies
• has all relevant permissions added to the Android manifest
• connects to a shared account on App Gallery which is needed by the majority of the HMS Kits
• when started, does a self test to check if everything is properly configured

The file with secrets is the link between the starter project and the shared account. It contains:

• the agconnect-services.json configuration file
• the signing configuration needed to authenticate this app to use HMS services

But I don't have a Huawei HMS test device ...

There are solutions.

1. If you're participating on-site, ask for a test device at the Huawei booth
2. Download and temporary install HMS Core on your own Android device from here
3. Cloud Debugging : this requires you to actually own/create a Huawei ID, but once that's done, you can just download the HMS Toolkit Android Studio plugin and access physical devices in the cloud
