Privately Labeled Android Application from A to Z.

[John]

To get a privately labeled FlyDroid Application you need to do the following:

- Install and configure the Android Connect plugin;
- Create a developer account in Google Developer Console and submit a listing to Google Play;
- Get a Facebook App ID (send it to us through the ticket system);
- Getting PayPal Gateway;
- Get a Google App License Key (send it to us through the ticket system);
- Configure products in Google Play In-App Billing;
- Get a Google Analytics Tracking ID (send it to us through the ticket system);
- Get a Google API Key;
- Get Google Firebase Keys (to enable push notifications in FlyDroid).

Now let me guide you through all the steps of getting a privately labeled FlyDroid App described in general above, but before you continue,
make sure that you submitted a request for the privately labeled App here - https://www.flynax.com/my-applicatio...t-android.html.

- Installing and configuring the Android Connect Plugin and translating missing phrases for it
1. Log in to the back end of your site then go to Plugins. Click Browse to see a list of the plugins;
2. Install the Android Connect plugin. If it's already installed then update it to the latest version, if any;
3. The Plugin has Flynax branding by default and you'll have to change a few phrases:
3.1 Go to the back end > Android > Languages;
3.2 Search for Flynax in the Language Manager;
3.3 Replace Flynax with your branding.

You also can add a new language to the App. We recommend using the same languages as you have on your site.
By default, the App comes in English but you can easily translate phrases used in the App, which amount to about 400 words and phrases.

- Creating an account in Google Developer Console and submitting an App listing
1. Go to https://play.google.com/apps/publish/ and create an account (if you have none);
2. Go to All Applications and add an Application listing;
3. Go through the submit form of your listing and fill in all required fields; save it as a draft (don't release it at this stage).

- Getting Facebook App ID
1. Go to https://developers.facebook.com/ and join the Facebook Developer program through your Facebook account used on the website;
2. Click Apps in the top menu and select Add a New App;
3. Select Android in the pop-up, and enter an App name, for example, "My Android App," and proceed to the App form;
4. While filling out the form you'll have to enter a lot of data; some of them are:

com.flynax.yourappname should be replaced with your future app system key, Flynax team is supposed to provide you with it in the ticket.

Package Name:
com.flynax.yourappname

Default Activity Class Name:
com.flynax.yourappname.FlynDroid

Development Key Hashes:
+VVwO1OXQcr2qwqwdqwa07owEEjY=

Release Key Hash:
+VVwqwdqwQcr2S9p4vXa07owEEjY=

5. You'll find the Next Step at the bottom of the form, click Skip to proceed to the Developer Dashboard;
6. Go to Settings on the next page (left menu);
7. Get an App ID from the form and send it to us.
8. Go to Settings > Advanced > Copy and send us a Client token.

- Getting PayPal Gateway
Currently, PayPal offers two libraries (API) for Android:

-PayPal REST API
The library was developed by PayPal not so long ago and is a convenient and up-to-date payment interface allowing users to pay with their credit cards and from PayPal accounts. A user can make a payment simply by scanning his credit card with a cell phone camera. But the interface has a drawback: it supports only the US and UK; so if you run your business in these countries you have nothing to worry about and all you have to do is to get a Client ID and Secret Key for REST API and enable PayPal REST module in Android Settings from the admin panel of your site. Here is how you can do it:

1. Go to https://developer.paypal.com/ and sign in with your PayPal account;
2. Click Dashboard in the top menu;
3. Click Create App in the upper right corner of the page;
4. Enter the name of your App in the form, for example, Android and click Create;
5. Copy Client ID and Secret on the App Details page and enter them in PayPal Billing that you can find in the admin panel of your site, Android Connect Settings.

- Getting a Google App License Key
1. Go back to your Google Developer Console account and select your App listing;
2. Open your App listing and select Services & APIs;
3. Get a lengthy License Key (base64) and send it to us.

- Configuring products in Google Play In-App Billing
If you don't plan to use Google Play In-App Billing, then you can disable it from the back end > Android Connect settings and skip the step.
If you do plan to use paid packages, then you'll have to replicate them in the App (if you use only free packages then you can skip this step)
from the admin panel in In-App Products of your listing on Google Play.

1. Go to https://play.google.com/apps/publish/.
2. Open your App listing and choose your App;
3. Go to In-App Products;
4. Click Add New Product;
5. Then select Managed Product in the window;
6. Log in to the back end of your site and go to the Package manager;
7. Click the Edit icon of the first paid package and copy the package key;
8. Go back to the Google Product page and enter the key to the Product ID field and click Continue;
9. Enter a title and description of the product on the Listing Details page (you can copy package details from the admin panel of your site);
10. Enter the price of the package in USD (as it's set in the admin panel for the package converted into USD);
11. Under Auto price conversion check Overwrite existing prices and click Auto-convert prices now;
12. To save the product click Save.

Following the steps above, you'll be able to replicate all the paid packages in the App.
