Step 1: Initialise

Mastercard Sonic Branding - Android SDK provides SonicController and SonicView as a public interface to the sdk.

Sonic Controller

SonicController provides a set of APIs for playing sound, animation, and haptics feedback. Initialize SonicController as follows:

import androidx.fragment.app.Fragment
import com.mastercard.sonic.controller.SonicController

class SonicFragment : Fragment(R.layout.fragment_sonic) {

    private val sonicController = SonicController()
    
}

SonicController exposes the following methods:

Method
Description

fun prepare(sonicType: SonicType = SonicType.SOUND_AND_ANIMATION, sonicCue: String, sonicEnvironment: SonicEnvironment, merchant: SonicMerchant, isHapticsEnabled: Bool = true, context: Context, onPrepareListener: OnPrepareListener)

prepare() method to prepare a set of resources with below parameters sonicType param for sonic type merchant app wants to prepare sonicCue param for the cue merchant app wants to prepare sonicEnvironment Environment for which sonic is getting prepared production - for production environment sandbox - for development and testing. merchant merchant information for that sonic is getting prepared isHapticsEnabled enabling/disabling haptics feedback, default value is true. context is current state of the application OnPrepareListener.onPrepared callback with status code as success, partial success, or failure.

fun play(sonicView: SonicView? = null, onCompleteListener: OnCompleteListener)

play() should be call after successful prepare(). This plays the sonic (sound and/or animation) sonicView the view in which animation will play completion provides status in callback with status code success, partially success or fail.

Sonic View

SonicView is a custom view that displays the Sonic Animation with a background. You can add SonicView into the parent view with any width and height value. It is recommended to provide the following properties to SonicView with a proper value.

Property
Description
Type
Default Value

android:layout_width

Set the width

Integer

320dp, if width is provided as wrap_content

android:layout_height

Set the height

Integer

240dp, if height is provided as wrap_content

sonicBackground

Set the sonic background color. It can set background color as black or white

Enum

black

Note: It is recommended to add SonicView on a full screen without padding. Padding is used to add space between two views. When you add padding to the SonicView, the background of the parent view gets displayed in the padded part which can lead to a bad user experience.

You can add SonicView either in XML or programmatically as follows:

  • Add SonicView in XML

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
    <!-- SonicView in a full screen -->
    <com.mastercard.sonic.widget.SonicView
        android:id="@+id/sonic_view"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
        <!-- app:sonicBackground="white" will enable white background when animation will be played-->
        <!-- app:sonicBackground="black" will enable black background when animation will be played-->
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Create an instance of SonicView in Fragment/Activity.

// import SonicView
import com.mastercard.sonic.widget.SonicView

// Create SonicView instance 
private lateinit var sonicView: SonicView

    override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
            return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_sonic, container, false)
    }

    override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
           super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
           sonicView = view.findViewById(R.id.sonic_view)
           sonicView.background = SonicBackground.BLACK
    }
  • Add SonicView Programmatically

Create a blank layout file in the project and add the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/main_content">

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Add SonicView as a child to ConstraintLayout.

//import statement
import android.os.Bundle
import android.view.View
import androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
import com.mastercard.sonic.widget.SonicView

    //declare sonic view in a fragment
    private lateinit var sonicView: SonicView
    
    //declare onCreateView with a newly created layout file
    override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
                return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_sonic, container, false)
        }

    //create sonicView instance and add to parent view in onViewCreated method
    override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
        var constraintLayout : ConstraintLayout = view.findViewById(R.id.main_content)
        sonicView = SonicView(requireContext())
        constraintLayout.addView(sonicView)
        sonicView.layoutParams = ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams(ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT)
    }

Sonic Merchant

SonicMerchant needs to be initialized and required to be pass it in prepare() method.

    private lateinit var sonicMerchant: SonicMerchant

    sonicMerchant = SonicMerchant.Builder()
                .merchantName("Uber")
                .city("New York")
                .merchantCategoryCodes(arrayOf("MCC 5122"))
                .countryCode("USA")
                .merchantId("UberId")
                .build()
