Summary

The Luciq for Android SDK is designed to simplify the integration process for developers by offering a straightforward setup compatible with both Gradle and Eclipse environments. Developers using Gradle can add the SDK via Maven Central, while Eclipse users have access to pre-packaged projects containing necessary JARs and resources. The library is divided into three components—Luciq Core, Luciq Support, and Luciq ABS—to accommodate both AppCompat V7 and ActionBarSherlock, with dependencies managed via Maven. Proper permissions and components must be defined within the AndroidManifest.xml, including an Annotation activity for user interaction, an UploadCacheService for report uploads, and a broadcast receiver for handling connectivity changes. Initialization involves setting up the SDK in the Application class and customizing various options through the library's documentation. Developers must register their activities with the SDK, leveraging helper activity classes for seamless integration and additional features such as automatic user step detection, with alternatives available for those unable to extend the base activities.
