Scenarios

To use Android to call an API through App authentication, obtain the Android SDK, create a project, and then call the API by referring to the API calling example.

Preparing the Environment

  • You have obtained the domain name, request URL, and request method of the API to be called, and the AppKey and AppSecret of the App for calling the API. For more information, see Preparation.
  • You have installed Android Studio. If not, download Android Studio from the official Android Studio website and install it.

Obtaining the SDK

  1. Log in to the DataArts Studio console.
  2. Click DataArts DataService.
  3. In the navigation pane, choose DataArts DataService Exclusive > SDKs.
  4. On the SDKs page, download the SDK package.
  5. Verify integrity of the SDK package. In Windows, open the CLI and run the following command to generate the SHA-256 value of the downloaded SDK package. In the command, D:\java-sdk.zip is an example local path and name of the SDK package. Replace it with the actual value.

    certutil -hashfile D:\java-sdk.zip SHA256

    The following is an example command output:

    SHA-256 hash value of D:\java-sdk.zip
    a7c0195ebf297f29ab0065da16d7e84f14911de177e6e0c8dbadf3464d12b75f
    CertUtil: -hashfile command executed.

    Compare the SHA-256 value of the downloaded SDK package with that provided in the following table. If they are the same, no tampering or packet loss occurred during the package download.

Obtain the ApiGateway-android-sdk.zip package. The following table shows the files decompressed from the package.

Opening a Project

  1. Start the Android Studio and choose File > Open.

    Select the directory where the SDK is decompressed.

  2. View the directory structure shown in the following figure.

    Figure 1 Project directory structure

API Calling Example

  1. Add required JAR files to the app/libs directory of the Android project. The following JAR files must be included:

    • java-sdk-core-x.x.x.jar
    • commons-logging-1.2.jar
    • joda-time-2.9.9.jar

  2. Add dependencies of the okhttp library to the build.gradle file.

    Add implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.11.0' in the dependencies field of the build.gradle file.

        ...
        ...
        implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.11.0'
    }
    

  3. Create a request, enter an AppKey and AppSecret, and specify the domain name, method, request URI, and body.

    try {
    	request.setKey("4f5f626b-073f-402f-a1e0-e52171c6100c");
    	request.setSecrect("******");
    	request.setMethod("POST");
    	request.setUrl("https://{apig-endpoint}/app1");
    	request.addQueryStringParam("name", "value");
    	request.addHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain");
            request.addHeader("name", "value");
    	request.setBody("demo");
    } catch (Exception e) {
    	e.printStackTrace();
    	return;
    }
    

  4. Sign the request and add the x-Authorization header to the request. The value of the x-Authorization header is the same as that of the Authorization header. The okhttp3.Request object is then generated to access the API.

    okhttp3.Request signedRequest = Client.signOkhttp(request);
    String authorization = signedRequest.header("Authorization");
    signedRequest = signedRequest.newBuilder().addHeader("x-Authorization",authorization).build();
    OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder().build();
    Response response = client.newCall(signedRequest).execute();
