Android Advanced Integration Scenarios

📘

Sample Project

You can find the sample project for a complete Android Integration in dynamic mode.

If you require more control over the journey and order of the steps or show custom screens between ID verification steps, you can use IDWise SDK in dynamic mode. This mode allows you to start specific steps and for you application to regain control after each step. Please note this integration mode requires more code and responsibility on your side.

Starting a new journey in dynamic mode

First ensure you have added the android SDK dependency and initialize the SDK as in Step 1 and Step 2.

Once the SDK is initialized, it becomes ready to start an ID verification journey flow. To commence the flow, articulated below methods are offer by SDK to start the journey in dynamic mode:

IDWise.startDynamicJourney(
  context,
  "<FLOW_ID>", //Provided by IDWise
  "<REFERENCE_NUMBER>", 
  "en",
  journeyCallback,
  stepCallback
)

This method takes the following parameters:

• flowId: (also called Journey Definition ID): This is a unique identifier that identifies your journey flow. IDWise shares this with you when you register to use IDWise system.
• referenceNo: (Optional) This parameter allows you to attach a unique identifier (such as a reference number) with the user undergoing the current journey. It's beneficial for connecting the journey to the user and/or the application that initiated it. You will receive this reference number in the webhook request.
• locale: (Optional)This refers to the ISO code representing the desired language for the user interface components. Please reach out to IDWise Support for the list of available languages.
• IDWiseSDKCallback: This is an implementation of an interface that consists of various callback events.
• IDWiseSDKStepCallback: This is an implementation of an interface that consists of various step callback events. These events are:

Starting the Steps

When onJourneyStarted(...)or onJourneyResumed(...) are triggered successfully, you can call the IDWise.startStep(...) to start the specific verification Step.

IDWise.startStep(context, stepId)

This method takes the following parameters:

• context : Activity of Fragment
• stepId : ID of the step you want to start. (Will be provided by IDWise for each step)

IDWise.startStepFromFileUpload(context, stepId, byteArray)

Using this method you can also pass a PDF or an Image File as a ByteArray. Important Note: Size of the byteArray should be less then 6MB. Following is an example

The step events (provided in IDWiseSDKStepCallback parameter provided to startDynamicJourney or resumeDynamicJourney method) will be triggered as step is handled and processed.

Journey and Step Callback

val journeyCallback = object : IDWiseSDKCallback {
  override fun onJourneyStarted(journeyInfo: JourneyInfo) {
    Log.d("IDWiseSDKCallback", "onJourneyStarted")
  }

  override fun onJourneyCompleted(journeyInfo: JourneyInfo,isSucceeded: Boolean) {
    Log.d("IDWiseSDKCallback", "onJourneyCompleted")
  }

  override fun onJourneyResumed(journeyInfo: JourneyInfo) {
    Log.d("IDWiseSDKCallback", "onJourneyResumed")
  }

  override fun onJourneyCancelled(journeyInfo: JourneyInfo?) {
    Log.d("IDWiseSDKCallback", "onJourneyCancelled")
  }

  override fun onError(error: IDWiseSDKError) {
    Log.d("IDWiseSDKCallback", "onError ${error.message}")
  }
})

Journey callback's usage are articulated below:

• onJourneyStarted: This event is triggered when a user's journey begins. It serves to notify your application that the process has been initiated. Useful for logging or implementing any preparatory actions necessary for the journey.
• onJourneyResumed: This event is triggered when a user's journey begins. It serves to notify your application that the process has been initiated. Useful for logging or implementing any preparatory actions necessary for the journey.
• onJourneyCompleted: This callback is activated upon the completion of a user's journey. It signifies that the user has successfully navigated through all steps and finished the process. This is typically where you would implement any code required to handle the completion of the journey.
• onJourneyCancelled: This event is fired if the user decides to cancel the journey midway. It indicates the user's choice to discontinue the process. This could be useful for providing user-specific feedback or to trigger re-engagement strategies.
• onError: This event is invoked when an error occurs at any point during the journey. It allows your application to respond to any unexpected issues, ensuring smooth error handling and user experience. Bellow all possible errors.

val stepCallback = object : IDWiseSDKStepCallback {
  override fun onStepCaptured(stepId: String, bitmap: Bitmap?, croppedBitmap: Bitmap?) {
    //This event triggers when User has captured the image from the camera
  }

  override fun onStepResult(stepId: String, stepResult: StepResult?) {
    //This event is triggered when Image processing is completed at the backend.
    //stepResult contains the details of the processing output
    Log.d("onStepResult", "Step $stepId result!!")
  }

  override fun onStepConfirmed(stepId: String) {
    Log.d("onStepConfirmed", "Step $stepId confirmed!!")
  }
}

Step callback's usage are articulated below:

• onStepCaptured: This event is triggered when a user's capture an image or select an image from gallery. The purpose of this method is to handle the captured steps images.
• onStepResult: This event is triggered with an outcome after complete of a submission and process. This is typically where you may handle the results of your submitted step.

StepResult contains following information

The DocumentRecognition object contains the following information related to the scanned document.

The NFCResult object contains the following data extracted from the Document via reading the NFC chip

All extractedFields from the NFC can be found here

📘

NFC Chip Reading

To enable NFC Chip Reading, special configuration need to be carried out. Please get in touch with IDWise Support for more information.

Get Summary of the Verification Journey

You can get the Status of the journey anytime by calling the following function

IDWise.getJourneySummary(journeyId) { journeySummary, error ->
  // journeySummary contains the status of all steps and overall journey status 
}

Resuming a journey

IDWise.resumeDynamicJourney(
  context,
  "<FLOW_ID>", //Provided by IDWise
  "<JOURNEY_ID>", 
  "en",
  journeyCallback,
  stepCallback
)

This method takes all the same parameters. Only one parameter is replace from referenceNo to journeyId.

• journeyId: This is a unique identifier that identifies your journey and it can be used to resume. This is received in the implementation of journeyCallback interface in onJourneyStarted method when you started journey first time.
