# Android SDK

To include the Android SDK in your maven project define a link to our repository and dependency like shown below.

{% code title="pom.xml" %}

```xml
     <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.licensespring</groupId>
            <artifactId>androidsdk</artifactId>
            <version>1.5.0</version>
        </dependency>

    </dependencies>

    <repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>androidsdk</id>
            <url>https://licensespring-android-sdk.s3.amazonaws.com/</url>
        </repository>
    </repositories>
```

{% endcode %}

If you are using gradle to build your projects, you can include the dependencies for LicenseSpring with the following snippet:

{% code title="build.gradle" %}

```java
repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    maven {
         url "https://licensespring-android-sdk.s3.amazonaws.com"
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation (group: 'com.licensespring', name: 'androidsdk', version: '1.5.0', ext: 'aar', classifier: 'release') {
		transitive=true
    }
}
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
