Extra: Data sources

Show a connections page for other data sources inside the app.

Introduction​

This feature included in rook-sdk allows developers to retrieve a list of available API data sources to build a custom connections page. Also, a pre-built connections page can be shown for immediate implementation.

Android Studio​

Go to the main Android Studio section to see the IDE configuration.

Getting started​

Android configuration​

Go to the main Android configuration section to see the basic configuration.

Logging​

Go to the main Logging section to configure logs.

Usage​

Initialize​

Go to the main Initialize and Update userID sections to initialize.

RookDataSources​

You can call RookDataSources functions by creating an instance with a context:

// It's recommended to use this instance as a singleton with a ServiceLocator or Dependency Injection.
val rookDataSources = RookDataSources(context)

rookDataSources.doSomething()

Or using the Companion object and providing a context with each call:

RookDataSources.doSomething(context)

Get available data sources​

To get the available data sources for the current user call getAvailableDataSources:

  • redirectUrl (Optional) - After the user successfully connects to a data source, the user will be redirected to this URL.
coroutineScope.launch {
    rookDataSources.getAvailableDataSources().fold(
        { dataSources ->
            // Data Sources obtained successfully
        },
        { throwable ->
            // Error obtaining Data Sources
        },
    )
}

To unlink (revoke authorization) from a data source call revokeDataSource:

  • dataSourceType - The type of the data source to revoke.
coroutineScope.launch {
    rookDataSources.revokeDataSource(dataSourceType).fold(
        {
            // Success
        },
        { throwable ->
            // Hanlde error
        }
    )
}

Pre-built connections page​

If you don't want to create your own connections page, you can use our pre-built screen by calling presentDataSourceView:

  • redirectUrl (Optional) - After the user successfully connects to a data source, the user will be redirected to this URL.
    rookDataSources.presentDataSourceView().fold(
    { dataSources ->
        // Data Sources activity launched successfully
    },
    { throwable ->
        // Error launching activity
    },
)
