Recommended boundary

How the pieces fit

Native maps, places, routes, navigation, telematics, capture, and UI widgets. Use this boundary as a starting point, then narrow it around the exact Mappls products and trust model your application needs.

01

Application layer

Own permissions, UI state, domain models, navigation between screens, and consent-facing experiences.

02

Mappls SDK modules

Install only entitled map, place, route, navigation, tracking, capture, or workforce modules.

03

Secure backend

Issue scoped tokens, protect privileged APIs, receive events, and persist durable operational state.

A safe first integration

From empty project to one real journey

Each step produces a testable boundary. Keep the first release deliberately small, then expand from observed product behavior.

  1. 1

    Confirm compatibility

    Pin the SDK release, Android Gradle Plugin, Kotlin, minSdk, targetSdk, and repository requirements together.

  2. 2

    Configure credentials

    Use manifest or runtime configuration only as documented and keep server secrets outside the APK.

  3. 3

    Forward lifecycle

    Connect the map or navigation view to activity, fragment, process, and saved-state behavior.

  4. 4

    Test device realities

    Exercise denied permissions, background limits, process death, offline periods, rotation, and low-memory recovery.

Production readiness

Pass these checks in addition to the requirements of the selected product, SDK release, operating system, and security program.

  • Dependency versions are pinned and reproducible
  • Location permission is contextual and revocable
  • Background work complies with current Android policy
  • SDK resources and observers are released deterministically
