Game > Gamebase > Android Developer's Guide > Initialization

To use Gamebase Android SDK, initialization is required.

onActivityResult

For normal operations of Gamebase, make sure to call Gamebase.onActivityResult(int, int, Intent) from Activity#onActivityResult(int, int, Intent).

API

+ (void)Gamebase.onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data);

Initialization Flow

When the game starts, enable the Debug Mode and reset the Gamebase to implement the flow as shown below so that entering the game will be determined based on the Launching Status Code.

initialization flow

Configuration Settings

To initialize Gamebase, Gamebase setting can be modified with GamebaseConfiguration.Builder.

API Mandatory(M) / Optional(O) Description
newBuilder(String appId, String appVersion, String storeCode) M The GamebaseConfiguration.Builder object can be created with the newBuilder() function.

appId: Enter an App ID issued from NHN Cloud Project.
appVersion: Update or maintenance status can be decided upon a game version. Specify a game version.
storeCode refers to the store in which APK is deployed. Find each store code in the following guide. Purchase - Initialization
build() M Convert Builder completed with setting to a configuration object.
Required for Gamebase.initialize() API.
enablePopup(boolean enable) O [UI]
When a game user cannot play games due to system maintenance or banned from use, reasons need to be displayed by pop-ups.
If it is set to true , Gamebase will automatically display information via pop-ups.
The default value is false.
When set to false , get information from launching results and display why user cannot play games by using customized UI.
enableLaunchingStatusPopup(boolean enable) O [UI]
Depending on the launching results, when available to log in (mainly due to maintenance), you may decide whether to allow Gamebase to automatically display pop-ups.
Works only when enablePopup(true).
The default value is true.
enableBanPopup(boolean enable) O [UI]
When game user is banned, you can change whether to allow Gamebase to automatically display a pop-up on the reasons.
Works only when enablePopup(true).
The default value is true.

Debug Mode

  • Gamebase shows warning and error logs only.
  • To turn on system logs for the reference of development, call Gamebase.setDebugMode(true).

[Caution]

Before releasing a game, be sure to delete 'setDebugMode' call from a source code or change the parameter to 'false'.

You can also perform the debug setting in the console and the values set in the console have priority. Please see the following guide to set in the console.

Initialize

Call Gamebase#initialize(Activity, GamebaseConfiguration, and GamebaseDataCallback) from Activity#onCreate(Bundle) to initialize Gamebase SDK.

API

+ (void)Gamebase.initialize(Activity activity, GamebaseConfiguration configuration, GamebaseDataCallback<LaunchingInfo> callback);

Example

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    ...
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        /**
         * Show gamebase debug message.
         *
         * CAUTION!
         * Set 'false' when build RELEASE.
         */
        Gamebase.setDebugMode(true);

        /**
         * Gamebase Configuration.
         */
        String appId = "T0aStC1d";
        String appVersion = "1.0.0";
        String storeCode = "GG";
        GamebaseConfiguration configuration = GamebaseConfiguration.newBuilder(appId, appVersion, storeCode)
                .enablePopup(true)
                .build();
        /**
         * Gamebase Initialize.
         */
        Gamebase.initialize(activity, configuration, new GamebaseDataCallback<LaunchingInfo>() {
            @Override
            public void onCallback(final LaunchingInfo data, GamebaseException exception) {
                if (Gamebase.isSuccess(exception)) {
                    // Follow the launch code to decide whether to allow entry to the game.
                    ...
                } else {
                    // If initialization fails, cannot use Gamebase SDK.
                    // Display errors, and restart or close a game.
                    Log.e(TAG, "Initialize failed- "
                            + "errorCode: " + exception.getCode()
                            + "errorMessage: " + exception.getMessage());
                }
            }
        });

        ...
    }
    ...

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

        /**
         * Pass onActivityResult event to the Gamebase.
         */
        Gamebase.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        ...
    }
}

Launching Information

Check launching status by calling 'Gamebase#initialize()'.
Follow each launching code to decide on the game play.

Gamebase.initialize(activity, configuration, new GamebaseDataCallback<LaunchingInfo>() {
    @Override
    public void onCallback(final LaunchingInfo data, GamebaseException exception) {
        if (Gamebase.isSuccess(exception)) {

                case LaunchingStatus.RECOMMEND_UPDATE:
                    Log.d(TAG, "There is a new version of this application.");
                    break;

                    errorLog = "Under maintenance.";
                    break;
                case LaunchingStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR:
                default:
                    canPlay = false;
                    errorLog = "Unknown internal error.";
                    break;
            }
            if (canPlay) {
                // Game play starts.
            } else {
                // Disclose why you cannot play and suspend the game.
            }
        }
        ...
    }
});

With the getLaunchingInformations API, you can get the LaunchingInfo object after initialization.

[Caution]

The getLaunchingInformations() API is not an asynchronous API that retrieves information from the server in real time. It returns cached information updated every 2 minutes, so it is not suitable for real-time checking of the current status. In that case, use GamebaseEventHandler, which triggers an event when the Launching Status Code is changed. Game > Gamebase > Android SDK User Guide > Notes > Additional Features > Gamebase Event Handler > Observer

API

+ (LaunchingInfo)Gamebase.Launching.getLaunchingInformations();

LaunchingInfo includes values set on Gamebase Console, as well as game status.

Change Default Maintenance HTML

If both the enablePopup and enableLaunchingStatusPopup values are true, a maintenance popup will be automatically displayed if the game is in maintenance status.

If you click the DETAILS button here, the maintenance information is automatically displayed in a webview.

If you want to modify the displayed HTML file, download the HTML file from the following link, modify it as you need, and place it in the 'assets/Gamebase' folder. Then the HTML file will be used to display maintenance information instead of the default HTML file included in the Gamebase SDK. HTML file download link

Handling Unregistered Version

By initializing GameClientVersion which is not registered on Gamebase console, error occurs like follows: LAUNCHING_UNREGISTERED_CLIENT(2004).
Under enablePopup(true), or enableLaunchingStatusPopup(true), popup shows for a forced update, and the user could be linked to the market.
In case Gamebase popup is disabled, UI can be executed in the game by getting UpdateInfo from GamebaseException so that user can go to the market.

VO

class UpdateInfo {
    // URL for store installation to download the latest version 
    String installUrl;
    // User can find a message in the language set on device.
    // When the language is 'en', the message shows like follows.
    // 'This version is not supported. Please get the most updated version.'
    String message;
}

API

+ (UpdateInfo)UpdateInfo.from(GamebaseException exception);

Example

Gamebase.initialize(activity, configuration, new GamebaseDataCallback<LaunchingInfo>() {
    @Override
    public void onCallback(final LaunchingInfo data, GamebaseException exception) {
        if (Gamebase.isSuccess(exception)) {
            // Gamebase initialization succeeded.
        } else {
            // Gamebase initialization failed.

            UpdateInfo updateInfo = UpdateInfo.from(exception);
            if (updateInfo != null) {
                // Unregistered game client version.
                // Open market url to update application.
                updateInfo.installUrl; // Market URL.
                updateInfo.message;    // Message from launching server.
                return;
            }

            // Another initialization error.
            ...
        }
        ...
    }
});
