Expert: Integration of HMS Core Kits in Android Jetpack App Part-1
5 min readDec 3, 2021
Overview
In this article, I will create an Android Jetpack based Recipe App in which I will integrate HMS Core kits such as Huawei ID, Huawei Ads and much more.
In this series of article I will cover all the kits with real life usages in this application. This is the part-1 article of this series.
Huawei ID Service Introduction
Huawei ID login provides you with simple, secure, and quick sign-in and authorization functions. Instead of entering accounts and passwords and waiting for authentication, users can just tap the Sign in with HUAWEI ID button to quickly and securely sign in to your app with their HUAWEI IDs.
Interstitial Ads Introduction
Interstitial ads are full-screen ads that covers the interface of an app. Such as ad is displayed when a user starts, pauses, or exits an app, without disrupting the user’s experience.
Prerequisite
- Huawei Phone EMUI 3.0 or later.
- Non-Huawei phones Android 4.4 or later (API level 19 or higher).
- HMS Core APK 4.0.0.300 or later.
- Android Studio
- AppGallery Account
App Gallery Integration process
- Sign In and Create or Choose a project on AppGallery Connect portal.
- Navigate to Project settings and download the configuration file.
- Navigate to General Information, and then provide Data Storage location.
App Development
- Create A New Project.
- Configure Project Gradle.
repositories { google() jcenter() maven { url 'http://developer.huawei.com/repo/' } } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.1' classpath 'com.huawei.agconnect:agcp:1.2.1.301' }
- Configure App Gradle.
- Configure AndroidManifest.xml.
Jetpack Components Implementation
· Data Binding: Declaratively bind UI elements to in our layout to data sources of our app.
· Lifecycles: Manages activity and fragment lifecycles of our app.
· LiveData: Notify views of any database changes.
· Room: Fluent SQLite database access.
· ViewModel: Manage UI-related data in a lifecycle-conscious way.

App Build Result
Tips and Tricks
Identity Kit displays the HUAWEI ID registration or sign-in page first. The user can use the functions provided by Identity Kit only after signing in using a registered HUAWEI ID.
If you are using a device of the Chinese mainland version, which is connected to the Internet in the Chinese mainland, only these two banner ad dimensions are supported.
Conclusion
In this article, we have learned how to integrate Huawei ID and Ads in Android application. After completely read this article user can easily implement Huawei ID and Ads in the application.
