Detailed Description

Initialize the Big Fish SDK. You should initialize the bfgManager when your application finishes launching with your main Activity.You should NOT call into BFG SDK methods until you have called com.bigfishgames.bfglib.bfgManager#initializeWithActivity(Activity, Bundle)The bfgManager requires notification of several Activity lifecycle events, so the following code must be added to your root or main Activity:

// The main activity must add calls to these bfgManager methods to ensure
// proper initialization and shutdown.
publicvoid onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    ...
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    ...
bfgManager.initializeWithActivity(this);
bfgManager.activityCreated(this);
    ...
}
publicvoid onResume() {
    ...

◆ checkForInternetConnection()

abstract boolean com.bigfishgames.bfglib.bfgManager.checkForInternetConnection ( boolean showStore )

abstract

Returns a boolean indicating whether the device can access the Internet. For convenience, this method also displays a built-in alert dialog notifying the user that an Internet connection was not found. As such, this method must only be invoked on the UI thread. To check for the presence of an Internet connection on a non-UI thread, or if you do not wish to display the alert dialog, call the bfgConnectivity.connectivityForInternetConnection() method directly.

Parameters

showStore Pass true if the alert view should identify the application store when no Internet connection is available. If this parameter is false, the alert view will show a generic offline error.

Returns: True if the device can access the Internet, false otherwise.

◆ currentPlaytime()

Returns: Top-most Activity or null.

◆ hideSoftKeyboard()

static void com.bigfishgames.bfglib.bfgManager.hideSoftKeyboard ( @NonNull final Activity activity )

inlinestatic

Hides the soft-keyboard. Normally, activities do not need to explicitly call this method since the keyboard display is handled for normal lifecycle events. However, there may be times when explicitly closing the keyboard is required.

Parameters

activity The Activity needing the keyboard closed.

Since: 6.3

◆ initializeWithActivity()

static synchronized void com.bigfishgames.bfglib.bfgManager.initializeWithActivity	(	@NonNull final Activity	controller,
		@Nullable final Bundle	savedInstanceState

inlinestatic

Perform startup initialization setup with the supplied root activity. This is the activity to use when showing interstitials, for both startup and resume UI. This activity can be overridden using the setParentActivity method.

Parameters

controller	Root (parent view controller) activity.
savedInstanceState	The Bundle that was passed into the onCreate method of the calling Activity.

◆ isInitialized()

static boolean com.bigfishgames.bfglib.bfgManager.isInitialized ( )

◆ isInitialLaunch()

abstract boolean com.bigfishgames.bfglib.bfgManager.isInitialLaunch ( )

abstract

Returns whether or not this is the initial launch of the application by checking the current session count. If it's less than 2, this is the initial launch.

Returns: True if this is the initial launch of the application, false otherwise.

◆ navigateToURL()

abstract boolean com.bigfishgames.bfglib.bfgManager.navigateToURL ( @NonNull String urlString )

abstract

Launches the appropriate activity for the given URL. If the supplied URL scheme is "market" or "amzn", the bfgManager will attempt to launch the application that handles that uri scheme (e.g., Android Market/Google Play) via startActivityWithDataUri. Also, if it is a "link-share" link, it will be handled externally via startActivityWithDataUri. Also, if externalBrowser is true, it will be handled externally via startActivityWithDataUri.On the other hand, if the supplied URL scheme is anything other than "market" or "amzn", the activity will launch the in-game web browser to view web pages or product review pages.WARNING: If it is a link-share link that redirects to the "amzn" or "market" scheme and there are no activities that handle these, this will most likely result in "Page not available".

Parameters

urlString URL to view.

◆ pause()

static void com.bigfishgames.bfglib.bfgManager.pause ( @NonNull final Activity activityPaused )

inlinestatic

Called by Activity.onPause() to receive notification that the Activity has been hidden (no longer in the foreground). The bfgManager uses the pause() and resume() methods to track activity switches and detect when the entire application has been suspended, or if the current activity was paused by another activity within the application.

Parameters

activityPaused The instance of the activity that was just paused.
