Square Terminal SDK for Android?

Questions

On the Terminal API Quickstart page, the first snippet of code shows how to “Create device code”.

And when you select Java (for my Android application), it gives this code:


DeviceCode deviceCode = new DeviceCode.Builder("TERMINAL_API")
  .name("Counter 1")
  .locationId("NHT...CGJ")
  .build();

CreateDeviceCodeRequest body = new CreateDeviceCodeRequest.Builder("123-456-789", deviceCode)
  .build();

devicesApi.createDeviceCodeAsync(body)
  .thenAccept(result -> {
    System.out.println("Success!");
  })
  .exceptionally(exception -> {
    System.out.println("Failed to make the request");
    System.out.println(String.format("Exception: %s", exception.getMessage()));
    return null;
  });

However, when I add that code to my Android application, I get these errors:

  • Cannot resolve symbol ‘DeviceCode’
  • Cannot resolve symbol ‘CreateDeviceCodeRequest’
  • Cannot resolve symbol ‘devicesApi’

So is there an SDK I should be using that will resolve these unknown classes?

The code snippet you’re referring to is for the Square Java SDK, which is typically used for server-side applications. For an Android application you’ll need to modify it to call the our API through your mobile app. :slightly_smiling_face:
