Getting Started with Teak in Android

Welcome to the getting started guide for Teak in Android.

In this guide, we will walk you through the process of setting up Teak in your native Android game. By the end of this guide you will be able to send a push notification to your Android device.

If you are building your game with Unity, use our Unity SDK instead. This guide is for native Android (Java or Kotlin) games.

Requirements

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites in place to ensure a smooth integration:

  • Android 5.0 (API level 21) or newer

  • A Firebase project with an Editor or Owner role. Firebase Cloud Messaging is required for push notifications on Android.

  • An account on Teak with access to your game.

The latest version of the Teak Android SDK is always available at sdks.teakcdn.com/android/teak.aar.

With the requirements out of the way, let’s get started.

First, we’ll set up your Teak dashboard.
