Contentstack Android Persistence Library

Contentstack provides Android Persistence Library that lets your application store data on the device's local storage. This helps you build apps that can work offline too. Given below is a detailed guide and helpful resources to get started with our android Persistence Library.

Prerequisites

• Android Studio
• Java jdk 8

Setup and Initialize library

For Realm

You download below four files from Repository and keep it in your src folder.

• RealmStore * SyncManager * SyncPersistable
• SyncStore

Initialize the library

To start using the library in your application, you will need to initialize it by providing the stack details:

  Stack stack = Contentstack.stack(context, "apiKey", "accessToken", "environment");  
      
  //Provide realmInstance using   
  Realm realmInstance = Realm.getDefaultInstance();  
  //Provide realmInstance to RealmStore's constructor like below.  
  RealmStore realmStore = new RealmStore(realmInstance);  
      
  SyncManager manager = new SyncManager(realmStore, stack);  
  manager.stackRequest();
