Prerequisites and Configuration

This guide describes the software requirements and configuration settings necessary to integrate your Android application with the Get Smart App2App solution.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

The generic Get Smart application (Aplicación de Cobro) installed and updated to the latest version on your device.
A test merchant account configured in the Get Smart app.
Basic familiarity with Android Intents.

Note: The App2App integration architecture relies on the presence of the Get Smart application on the target device to function correctly.

Configuration Setup

Follow these steps to prepare your Android application for the App2App integration.

Step 1: Verify Get Smart Application

Ensure the following application is present on the device:

The Get Smart application (Aplicación de Cobro) must be installed and updated to the latest version.
This application acts as the host for the payment interface and handles secure communication with the Get Smart gateway.

Important: Your integration must anticipate scenarios where this application is missing. If the Get Smart application is not installed, the operating system will throw an ActivityNotFoundException when you attempt to start the payment intent. Your application code should catch this exception and display an alert to the user indicating that the payment application must be installed or updated.

Step 2: Configure Your Android Project

The integration uses standard Android Intent mechanisms that require minimal configuration in your project.

No specific permissions are required in your application's AndroidManifest.xml file. You do not need to add any special <uses-permission> or <queries> declarations to initiate the payment process or receive the transaction result. The standard startActivityForResult flow functions without these modifications.
