Getting started for PlayFab Multiplayer Android C++ SDK

​

Prerequisites

• A PlayFab developer account.
• Android Studio installed.

​

Project setup

​

Integrate PlayFab Multiplayer into your own project

​

Add binaries to your game

​

Adding the .so files

1. Unzip the PlayFab Multiplayer Android zip file for Android release and place its contents in your desired directory.
2. Using TARGET_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES or another equivalent function, add the headers under “Include” from the PlayFab Multiplayer release:

TARGET_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(
    ${PROJECT_NAME}
    "Include"
)

3. Using TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES or another equivalent function, link the locations of the .so files to your project. For example:

set(PLAYFAB_MULTIPLAYER_PATH "[LOCATION OF YOUR FILE]/libPlayFabMultiplayer.so")

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(
    [YOUR PROJECT NAME]
    ${PLAYFAB_MULTIPLAYER_PATH}
)

​

Adding the .aar files

1. Create a libs folder within app level Android project directory.
2. Copy the .aar files into the libs folder.

   Note: If your project already includes libHttpClient as a dependency, make sure to only link one instance of libHttpClient.Android-release.aar to avoid duplicate symbol errors.

3. In app level build.gradle file, the one in the same directory as the libs folder, add these lines to the dependencies section. The second line is required as a dependency for libHttpClient.
