Android framework

The Android framework integration steps help you to integrate payment acceptance into your Android app.

1

Integrating with the Android framework enables your app to interact with the IDTech card reader for payment processing.

2

The Android framework sends a JSON Web Token (JWT) through the public listener without handling the card data.

3

You can use the /rest/v2/mobile/transactions/sale endpoint to submit a JSON Web Token (JWT) and process a payment in your Android app.

Find the latest .jar files in the android-idtech-sdk/sdk/lib folder.

When you integrate the Android framework into your app, you might encounter the following:

• The card reader uses the IDTech framework for communication when the Android framework applies EMV configuration to it.

• The configuration process may take some time and can occasionally fail, but these issues are manageable with retry logic.

• The Android framework saves the card reader’s serial number after a successful initial configuration to avoid reconfiguring it later.

Check that the IDTech VP3300 is connected to your Android app before starting the payment process.
