Add native SDKs to native projects

Android

1. Replace the following line in settings.gradle:

Replace

include ':app'

with

include ':app', ':com.oracle.bots.client.sdk.android.core-21.10'

2. Make sure the following dependencies are imported in android/app/build.gradle:

implementation "androidx.swiperefreshlayout:swiperefreshlayout:1.0.0"
implementation 'androidx.preference:preference:1.1.1'

// SDK
implementation project(':com.oracle.bots.client.sdk.android.core-21.10')

// Core dependencies
implementation 'androidx.room:room-runtime:2.2.5'
implementation 'io.socket:socket.io-client:0.8.3'
implementation 'androidx.core:core:1.3.0'

3. Copy the native module from node_modules/@lighthouseapps/react-native-oda/android/com.oracle.bots.client.sdk.android.core-21.10 to your project's android directory

Usage

Send a text message

	<Button
		title="Chat"
		onPress={() => {
			OracleDigitalAssistant.sendMessage('Buy some coffee');
		}}
	/>

Voice messages

OracleDigitalAssistant.startRecording(); // Voice to text

// NOTE: The first time you run this function, it will ask for recording permissions, but won't start recording. You'll have to run it again to get user speech

OracleDigitalAssistant.stopRecording(); // Stops listening for user speech

OracleDigitalAssistant.setSpeechLocale('en-us') // sets the user's expected speaking language

Listen for new text messages
