Getting Started

To integrate the Android SDK into your app, follow the steps outlined below.

1

Add the TrustArc Maven repository to either your project's build.gradlerepositories section or settings.gradledependencyResolutionManagement section, depending on which file your project uses for dependency management.

Note: The GitHub access token required for authentication will be provided by your representative from the TrustArc support team at [e-mail]. Make sure to keep this token secured and do not expose it in version control.

repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
        name = "TrustArcMobileConsent"
        url = uri("https://maven.pkg.github.com/trustarc/trustarc-mobile-consent")
        credentials {
            username = "trustarc"
            password = "<Paste Your Token Here>"
        }
    }
}

Add the SDK dependency to your app module's build.gradle:

dependencies {
    // You can use "+" to always use the latest release
    implementation("com.trustarc:trustarc-consent-sdk:2025.04.2")

    // Required dependencies
    implementation("androidx.core:core-ktx:1.9.0")
    implementation("androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.6.1")
    implementation("androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.4")
    implementation("androidx.webkit:webkit:1.4.0")
    implementation("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-extensions:2.2.0")
    implementation("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx:2.6.2")
    implementation("androidx.activity:activity:1.8.0")

    implementation("com.google.android.material:material:1.9.0")

    implementation("com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.9.0")
    implementation("com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.9.0")
}

In your Activity, use the SDK as follows:

// Set up TrustArc SDK
trustArcSDK = TrustArc(
    context = applicationContext,
    sdkMode = SdkMode.Standard
)
// Begin domain configuration retrieval
// Note: consent modal will automatically appear in "expressed" mode
trustArcSDK.start(
    domainName = "mac_trustarc.com"
    // optionally: country = "us", language = "en"
)
