Introduction

The digi.me private sharing platform empowers developers to make use of user data from thousands of sources in a way that fully respects a user’s privacy, and whilst conforming to GDPR. Our consent driven solution allows you to define exactly what terms you want data by, and the user to see these completely transparently, allowing them to make an informed choice as to whether to grant consent or not.

Requirements

Development

  • Android Studio 3.0 or newer.
  • Gradle 5.0 or newer.
  • Kotlin 1.30 or newer. *

* The SDK is written entirely in Kotlin, but is fully compatible with Java projects.

Deployment

  • Android 5.1 or newer (API Level 21).

Installation

Gradle/Maven

  1. Ensure you have the JCenter repository in your root build.gradle file.
    (This is automatically added to new Android Studio projects.)

  2. Include the digi.me SDK as a dependency in your app build.gradle file:

    implementation 'me.digi:sdk:2.2.1'

Manual

  1. Download the source code for the SDK.
  2. In Android Studio, import the SDK as a module.

  3. In your app build.gradle, include the module as a dependency:

    implementation project(':sdk')

Getting Started - 5 Simple Steps!

We have taken the most common use case for the digi.me Private Sharing SDK and compiled a quick start guide, which you can find below. Nonetheless, we implore you to explore the documentation further.

This example will show you how to configure the SDK, and get you up and running with retrieving user data.

1. Obtaining your Contract ID, Application ID & Private Key:

To access the digi.me platform, you need to obtain an AppID for your application. You can get yours by filling out the registration form here.

In a production environment, you will also be required to obtain your own Contract ID and Private Key from digi.me support. However, for sandbox purposes, we provide the following example values:

Example Contract ID:fJI8P5Z4cIhP3HawlXVvxWBrbyj5QkTF
Example Private Key:
Download: P12 Key Store
Password: monkey periscope

You should include the P12 file in your project assets folder.

2. Configuring Callback Forwarding:

Because the digi.me Private Sharing SDK communicates with the digi.me app, you are required to forward invocations of onActivityResult through to the SDK so that it may process responses. In any activity that will be resposible for invoking methods on the SDK, override onActivityResult as below:

3. Configuring the DMEPullClient object:

DMEPullClient is the object you will primarily interface with to use the SDK. It is instantiated with a context, and a DMEPullConfiguration object. The provided context should always be the main application context.

The DMEPullConfiguration object is instantiated with your AppID, Contract ID and Private Key in hex format. We provide a convenience method to extract the private key. The below code snippet shows you how to combine all this to get a configured DMEPullClient:

4. Requesting Consent:

Before you can access a user’s data, you must obtain their consent. This is achieved by calling authorize on your client object:

NB: this represents the activity which is setup to forward onActivityResult, as above.

Digi.me Crunchbase

If a user grants consent, a session will be created and returned; this is used by subsequent calls to get data. If the user denies consent, an error stating this is returned. See Handling Errors.

5. Fetching Data:

Once you have a session, you can request data. We strive to make this as simple as possible, so expose a single method to do so:

For each file, the first ‘file handler’ block will be called. If the download was successful, you will receive a DMEFile object. If the download fails, an error.

Once all files are downloaded, the second block will be invoked to inform you of this. In the case that the data stream is interrupted, or if the session obtained above isn’t valid (it may have expired, for example), you will receive an error in the second block. See Handling Errors.

DMEFile exposes the method fileContentAsJSON which attempts to decode the binary file into a JSON map, so that you can easily extract the values you need to power your app. Not all files can be represented as JSON, see Raw Data for details.

The topics discussed under Quick Start are just a small part of the power digi.me Private Sharing gives to data consumers such as yourself. We highly encourage you to explore the Documentation for more in-depth examples and guides, as well as troubleshooting advice and showcases of the plethora of capabilities on offer.
