Tooleap and B4A Part 3: Installation of Tooleap library and Application setup

habeebqLeave a comment

The following library files need to be in your AdditionalLibs folder (these are all available in the B4A forum post here):

  • TooleapHelper (both jar/xml)
  • the latest tooleap sdk jar (current is tooleap-sdk-0.9.4.jar)

Before we start we need to make some manifest changes to the Application level.

These lines need to be added to your manifest editor:

For permissions:

AddManifestText(
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_TASKS" />)

For Tooleap’s internal services:

AddApplicationText(
<service android:name="com.tooleap.sdk.TooleapAppService"/>
<service android:name="com.tooleap.sdk.TooleapUIService"
         android:process=":UIService"
         android:exported="true">
         <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="com.tooleap.sdk.BIND_UI_SERVICE" />
         </intent-filter>
</service>
<receiver android:name="com.tooleap.sdk.TooleapReceiver">
         <intent-filter>
               <action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REPLACED"/>
               <data android:scheme="package"/>
         </intent-filter>
         <intent-filter>
               <action android:name="com.tooleap.sdk.TOOLEAP_ACTION"/>
         </intent-filter>
</receiver>)

Once you add these you are ready to start writing your Tooleap Activity/MiniApp.
