Getting started with the WRLD Android SDK

If you don’t have an account yet, you will need to sign up to the Digital Twin plan and confirm your email address
Create an API Key in the developer portal
Take note of the created key, you will need it soon

2. Get the WRLD Android SDK

If you don’t already have an Android Studio project set up then follow the Creating your Android application step in our walkthrough.

To use the SDK, you will need to add it as a library dependency in your build.gradle file in your project:

dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'com.wrld3d:wrld-android-sdk:0.0.1467@aar'
    ...
}

You may also need to add mavenCentral() in your project’s root build.gradle file if not already present as shown below:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        ...
        mavenCentral()

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        mavenCentral()

See our walkthrough guide for simple step-by-step instructions on how to set up the map. This includes:

Setting permissions
Initialize an EegeoApi object using your WRLD API Key created in the first step
