Android SDK

The Ravelin Mobile SDKs are critical to our ability to provide informed decisions to our clients.

Like the JavaScript library, the SDK enables:

  • The generation of a unique and persistent device ID Access The DeviceId.
  • The collection of additional device details
  • Session tracking
  • If relevant to your integration, the encryption of card details

We have two modules/dependencies within the SDK:

  • ravelin-core - Which is used for deviceId, fingerprinting and tracking activity
  • ravelin-encrypt - for card details encryption

You may choose which functionality of the SDK to use. However, at a minimum, we advise that you use the SDK to generate a reliable device ID and to send the additional device details for your app traffic. Device IDs are critical throughout our fraud prevention tool, especially for use in our graph database. Use ravelin-core for deviceId, fingerprinting and tracking activity and ravelin-encrypt if using card encryption.

The table below lists the available artefacts:

Artefact Private release version Public release version
ravelin-core 3.0.3 3.1.0
ravelin-encrypt 3.0.3 3.1.0

Minimum Requirements

The SDK supports a minimum Android API level: 21 - 5.0.0 LOLLIPOP with some exceptions around encryption (see below).

For Encryption:

Encryption, is available only for Android API level: 22 5.1 LOLLIPOP_MR1 and above, where you can use the ravelin-encrypt module which relies on native encryption.

The SDK is mainly written in Kotlin and compatible with Kotlin plugin version 1.8.20

Installing the Ravelin Android SDK

There are two methods for installing the Ravelin Android SDK: via Gradle, or manually with a precompiled AAR file. Our preferred method is installation through Gradle, due to its ease of maintenance. In case you still prefer to install the SDK manually, make sure to also append its dependencies (described in Bundled Libraries).

Installing via Gradle

Please note that the following setup is basic and doesn’t include buildSrc configurations, version catalogs or convention plugins.

Versions 3.1.0+

Both ravelin-core and ravelin-encrypt are public since version 3.1.0 and may be accessed without the use of credentials. The artefacts may be imported from a maven repository as shown below:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        /* other repositories */
        maven {
            setUrl("https://maven.ravelin.com/public/repositories/core-android/")
        }
    }
}

The next step is to add the dependencies in the Module level build.gradle (build.gradle.kts) add Ravelin to the app dependencies:

dependencies {
    /* other dependencies */
    implementation 'com.ravelin.sdk:ravelin-core:3.1.0'
    implementation 'com.ravelin.sdk:ravelin-encrypt:3.1.0'
}

dependencies {
    /* other dependencies */
    implementation("com.ravelin.sdk:ravelin-core:3.1.0")
    implementation("com.ravelin.sdk:ravelin-encrypt:3.1.0")
}

Versions 3.0.3 and below

Before attempting to use Gradle for Ravelin, ensure that you have a valid username and password for the private Maven repository. This can be obtained from a Ravelin integrations engineer. The credentials are required only for ravelin-core and ravelin-encrypt version 3.0.3 and below.

IMPORTANT - Do not store the repository credentials within Source Control. They can be stored in the user’s gradle.properties file.

// ~/.gradle/gradle.properties

ravelinRepoUsername=username
ravelinRepoPassword=password

Within the Project level build.gradle, make sure the repositories include the appropriate Ravelin maven repository:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        /* other repositories */
        maven {
            name "Ravelin"
            credentials {
                username "$ravelinRepoUsername"
                password "$ravelinRepoPassword"
            }
            url "https://maven.ravelin.com/repositories/releases/"
        }
    }
}

In Kotlin DSL:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        /* other repositories */
        maven {
            credentials {
                username = properties["ravelinRepoUsername"] as? String
                password = properties["ravelinRepoPassword"] as? String
            }
            setUrl("https://maven.ravelin.com/repositories/releases/")
        }
    }
}

The next step is to add the dependencies in the Module level build.gradle (build.gradle.kts) add Ravelin to the app dependencies:

dependencies {
    /* other dependencies */
    implementation 'com.ravelin.sdk:ravelin-core:3.0.3'
    implementation 'com.ravelin.sdk:ravelin-encrypt:3.0.3'
}

dependencies {
    /* other dependencies */
    implementation("com.ravelin.sdk:ravelin-core:3.0.3")
    implementation("com.ravelin.sdk:ravelin-encrypt:3.0.3")
}

Installing Manually

The Ravelin library may be imported as a standard AAR. Please be advised that we do not recommend manual installation and strongly advise that you use Gradle.

A common way to add the library into the project is to add it into a library in the Project level build.gradle (build.gradle.kts) make sure the repositories include the local libraries directory. Assuming that the AARs are stored within libs:

Groovy:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        /* other repositories */
        flatDir {
            dirs 'libs'
        }
    }
}

Kotlin DSL

allprojects {
    repositories {
        /* other repositories */
        flatDir {
            dirs("libs")
        }
    }
}

Then in the Module level build.gradle (build.gradle.kts), add Ravelin to the app dependencies: Groovy

dependencies {
    implementation(name: 'ravelin', ext: 'aar')
}

Kotlin DSL

dependencies {
    implementation(fileTree(mapOf("dir" to "libs", "include" to listOf("*.jar", "*.aar"))))
}

When building your project you will probably see a warning which says: ‘Using flatDir should be avoided because it doesn’t support any meta-data formats.’ You may ignore this warning. Alternatively, you may generate a new module in your application and fetch the library through this new module.

Handle application backup rules

The Ravelin SDK is defining backup rules in its Manifest file. In case you have backup rules in your application manifest file, make sure to merge the SDK backup rules, otherwise they will be override during the Manifest merging process and that may result with an unexpected behaviour.

    <application
        android:dataExtractionRules="@xml/backup_rules_31_and_above"
        android:fullBackupContent="@xml/backup_rules_until_30"
        tools:targetApi="s"
    />

Backup rules for API level >= 31:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <data-extraction-rules disableIfNoEncryptionCapabilities="false">
        <include
            domain="sharedpref"
            path="." />
        <exclude
            domain="sharedpref"
            path="my_secret_shared_pref_data.xml" />
    </data-extraction-rules>

Backup rules for API level < 31:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <full-backup-content>
        <include
            domain="sharedpref"
            path="." />
        <exclude
            domain="sharedpref"
            path="my_secret_shared_pref_data.xml" />
    </full-backup-content>

Updating the Ravelin Android SDK

There are two methods of updating the Ravelin Android SDK: via Gradle, or manually with a precompiled AAR file. Our preferred method is through Gradle, due to its ease of maintenance.

Updating via Gradle

In the Module level build.gradle change the dependencies to the latest SDK version number.

Groovy

dependencies {
    /* other dependencies */
    implementation 'com.ravelin.sdk:ravelin-core:3.1.0'
    implementation 'com.ravelin.sdk:ravelin-encrypt:3.1.0'
}

To verify the latest Ravelin SDK version check our Release Notes section.

Updating Manually

The Ravelin library may be imported as a standard AAR. Please be advised that we do not recommend manual update and strongly advise that you use Gradle.

Please follow the same steps mentioned in the Installing Manually sectionand make sure you are using the latest SDK version AAR.

Permissions

For a better experience with Ravelin SDK each app has to provide a way for accessing users information. Here is a list of what each permission allows us to get from the users:

ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION & ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

Information about users localization

  • Accuracy
  • Altitude
  • Bearing
  • ElapsedRealTimeNanos
  • Latitude
  • Longitude
  • Provider
  • Speed
  • Time

In addition, the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission is required in order to get the connection MAC address.

READ_PHONE_STATE & READ_BASIC_PHONE_STATE (API level <= 33)

Information about users phone

  • IsWorldPhone
  • Network type
  • imei (GSM networks) / meid (CDMA networks) / deviceId (API level <= 25)
  • imsi

BLUETOOTH & BLUETOOTH_CONNECT (API level <= 31)

Information about devices bluetooth.

  • Bluetooth MAC

ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE

Information about network capabilities.

  • Transport type attribute

ACCESS_WIFI_STATE

Information about devices wireless connection interface.

  • WIFI MAC

REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES (API level >= 26)

Information about installed packages.

  • Non market apps package installation permission.

INTERNET

Allows internet connection access to background processes.

The SDK will retry events in case of issues like no internet connection or server errors. Since the retry is a background process that relies on internet connection this permission is needed for the retry functionality to work. If you do not grant this permission the retry functionality will not work and silently fail.

Usage

Please ensure only the publishable API key is used. The live secret API key should never be embedded into the app – it should only be used for server-to-server communications.

Accessing the Singleton

The Ravelin Android SDK has three static instance accessors:

  1. RavelinSDK.createInstance
  2. RavelinSDK.getSharedInstance
  3. RavelinSDK.cleanup

While the first accessor is aimed to generate an instance of the SDK, the other two, should access the singleton if its already been created. Calling getSharedInstance or cleanup before an instance was created shall result with a RavelinError returned to the application via the RavelinCallback#failure callback.

Calling RavelinSDK#createInstance a second time will not create a second instance but will instead return a previously created instance.

When the application finishes its use of the SDK, a cleanup accessor should be called. It is aimed to clear SDK resources and the SDK instance itself.

Kotlin

First call:

// MyApplication.kt

// using callbacks
RavelinSDK.createInstance(this, "publishable_key_live", object : RavelinCallback<RavelinSDK>() {
    override fun success(ravelin: RavelinSDK) {
        Log.d("Ravelin Setup Success", "hooray")
    }

    override fun failure(error: RavelinError) {
        Log.e("Ravelin Setup Error", error.message)
    }
})

// without a callback
val ravelin: RavelinSDK = RavelinSDK.createInstance(this, "publishable_key_live")

Subsequent calls:

// MyActivity.kt

// using callback
RavelinSDK.getSharedInstance(object : RavelinCallback<RavelinSDK>() {
    override fun success(ravelin: RavelinSDK) {
        Log.d("Ravelin Setup Success", "hooray")
    }

    override fun failure(error: RavelinError) {
        Log.e("Ravelin Setup Error", error.message)
    }
})

// without a callback
val ravelin: RavelinSDK = RavelinSDK.getSharedInstance()

Cleaning Resources:

RavelinSDK.cleanup(object : RavelinCallback<String>() {
    override fun success(response: String) {
        Log.d("Ravelin Setup Success", response)
    }

    override fun failure(error: RavelinError) {
        Log.e("Ravelin Setup Error", error.message)
    }
})

Java

First call:

// MyApplication.java

// null-safe inside callback
class Example {
    RavelinSDK instance = RavelinSDK.Companion.createInstance(this, "publishable_key_live", new RavelinCallback<RavelinSDK>() {
        @Override
        public void success(RavelinSDK ravelinSDK) {
            Log.d("Ravelin Setup Success", "hooray");
        }

        @Override
        public void failure(@NotNull RavelinError ravelinError) {
            Log.e("Ravelin Setup Error", ravelinError.getMessage());
        }
    });

    // no callback, not null safe
    RavelinSDK instance2 = RavelinSDK.Companion.createInstance(this, "publishable_key_live");
}

Subsequent calls:

// MyActivity.java

// null-safe with handled error message
class Example {
    RavelinSDK instance1 = RavelinSDK.getSharedInstance(new RavelinCallback<RavelinSDK>() {
        @Override
        public void success(RavelinSDK ravelinSDK) {
            Log.d("Ravelin Setup Success", "hooray");
        }

        @Override
        public void failure(@NotNull RavelinError ravelinError) {
            Log.e("Ravelin Setup Error", error.getMessage());
        }
    });

    // nullable, no error message
    RavelinSDK instance2 = RavelinSDK.Companion.getSharedInstance();
}

Cleaning Resources:

class Example {
    void main() {
        RavelinSDK.Companion.cleanup(new RavelinCallback<String>() {
            @Override
            public void success(String response) {
                Log.d("Ravelin Setup Success", response);
            }

            @Override
            public void failure(@NotNull RavelinError ravelinError) {
                Log.e("Ravelin Setup Error", ravelinError.getMessage());
            }
        });
    }
}

After first initialization, the SDK instance can be referenced anywhere using RavelinSDK.getSharedInstance(...).

Custom WorkManager Configuration and Initialization

This section is relevant only to those apps which rely on the WorkManager API and initialize it manually.

Should this use case apply to your app, please make sure to meet the following requirement:

  1. Let your Application class implement the Configuration.Provider Interface. A minimal setting of the configuration object would be:

Kotlin

class YourApplication : Application(), Configuration.Provider {
    //...

    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        val configuration = workManagerConfiguration
        WorkManager.initialize(this, configuration)
    }

    override fun getWorkManagerConfiguration(): Configuration =
        Configuration.Builder()
            .build()
    //...
}

Java

public class YourApplication extends Application implements Configuration.Provider {
    //...

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        Configuration config = getWorkManagerConfiguration();
        WorkManager.initialize(this, config);
    }

    @NonNull
    @NotNull
    @Override
    public Configuration getWorkManagerConfiguration() {
        return new Configuration.Builder().build();
    }

    //...
}

Encrypting Cards

Depending on your integration, you may want to encrypt card details via the SDK. The SDK can be used to allow the secure sharing of card information with Ravelin whilst removing the need to handle PCI-compliant data. When collecting the card details, using CardDetails(pan, month, year, nameOnCard). pan, month, year are required, while nameOnCard is optional.

The CardDetails are then passed into the encryptCard method along with the appropriate RSA key to produce an EncryptedCard instance with encrypted ciphers. Encrypted cards are validated prior to encryption. You can perform this validation yourself by calling CardDetails#validate. The optional callback parameter will inform you of a success or failure. In case of a failure the method returns null, and if successful the newly created valid CardDetails is created with extra values stripped, ready to be encrypted.

Ravelin Android encryption is only available for Android 5.1 LOLLIPOP_MR1 API level: 22 and above, since it uses the native encryption provided within the standard Ravelin SDK.

Validation is performed, confirming that expiry dates are valid, that the PAN is at least 12 characters and that the name on the card is valid. Should any validation checks fail, nil is returned from the method. Pass an error by ref to determine the cause of failure if any occurs.

The basic checks performed by the validation are:

  1. PAN length must be greater than 12 digits
  2. The month must be between 1 and 12 inclusive
  3. The year must be between the current year and 50 years in the future
  4. If the year is the current year then the month must be greater than or equal to the current month
  5. When not null, the name must be between 2-26 long and consist of the following characters: ‘, -, a-z, A-Z and space.

Please note, the use of encryption is entirely optional and not required as part of your integration. If you are confused about whether or not you should use encryption, please contact an integration engineer. If you do not want to use encryption at all, please make sure not to use encryptCard.

Kotlin

val cardDetails = CardDetails("1234 1234 1234 1234", "02", "18", "Dr Jilly McJillson")

// null safe callback
RavelinEncrypt().encryptCard(cardDetails, "RSA-Key",
    object : EncryptCallback<EncryptedCard>() {
        override fun failure(error: EncryptError) {
            Log.d("Card encryption Error", error.message)
        }
        override fun success(result: EncryptedCard?) {
            Log.d("Card encryption Success", result.toString())
        }
    })

// nullable
val encryptedCard = RavelinEncrypt().encryptCard(cardDetails, "2|rsakeykeykeykeykeykey")

Java

class Example {
    final CardDetails cardDetails = new CardDetails("1234 1234 1234 1234", "02", "18", "Dr Jilly McJillson");

    // null safe callback
    EncryptedCard encryptedCard = RavelinEncrypt().encryptCard(cardDetails, "RSA-Key",
        new EncryptCallback<CardDetails>() {
            public void failure(EncryptError error) {
                Log.d("Card encryption Error", error.getMessage());
            }

            public void success(CardDetails result) {
                Log.d("Card encryption Success", result.toString());
            }
        });
}

// nullable
class Example {
    final EncryptedCard encryptedCard = RavelinEncrypt().encryptCard(cardDetails, "2|rsakeykeykeykeykeykey");
}

Card Validation

Kotlin

val cardDetails = CardDetails("1234 1234 1234 1234", "02", "18", "Dr Jilly McJillson")

cardDetails.validate(object : EncryptCallback<CardDetails>() {
    override fun failure(error: EncryptError) {
        Log.d("Card Validation Error", error.message)
    }

    override fun success(result: CardDetails?) {
        Log.d("Card Validation Success", "hooray")
    }
})

RavelinEncrypt().encryptCard(cardDetails, "RSA-Key",
    object : EncryptCallback<EncryptedCard>() {
        override fun failure(error: EncryptError) {
            Log.d("Card encryption Error", error.message)
        }
        override fun success(result: EncryptedCard?) {
            Log.d("Card encryption Success", result.toString())
        }
    })

Java

class Example {
    final CardDetails cardDetails = new CardDetails("1234 1234 1234 1234", "02", "18", "Dr Jilly McJillson");

    // null safe callback
    CardDetailks cardDetails = cardDetails.validate(new EncryptCallback<CardDetails>() {
        @Override
        public void success(CardDetails result) {
            Log.e("Card Validation Success", "hooray");
        }

        @Override
        public void failure(EncryptError error) {
            Log.e("Card Validation Error", error.getMessage());
        }
    });

    EncryptedCard encryptedCard = RavelinEncrypt().encryptCard(cardDetails, "RSA-Key",
        new EncryptCallback<CardDetails>() {

            @Override
            public void failure(EncryptError error) {
                Log.d("Card encryption Error", error.getMessage());
            }

            @Override
            public void success(CardDetails result) {
                Log.d("Card encryption Success", result.toString());
            }
        });
}

Tracking Activity

Using the Ravelin Android SDK, you can capture various built in events along with your own custom events that can later be viewed in the Ravelin dashboard. This can be very useful for analysts to gain additional context during an investigation. For example, if you can see that a user is going through unexpected parts of your customer journey at a set speed on a new device that could indicate suspicious activity.

Track events may be called with either a RavelinRequestCallback callback or no callback. Using a callback, the network request will be triggered immediately.

These are the available predefined events:

The full documentation is present on the javadocs to better help implementation.

trackFingerprint

To be used at any appropriate checkpoint to profile a user’s device.

Sends the device Fingerprint to Ravelin. If a Fingerprint has not been generated by this point, it will be generated by calling this method.

Ensure that the customerId is set before trackFingerprint() is called.

Only takes an optional callback.

Kotlin

// set Customer ID
ravelin.customerId = "12346578"

// immediately call asynchronously
ravelin.trackFingerprint(object : RavelinRequestCallback() {
    override fun success() {
        Log.d("API Request Success", "hooray")
    }

    override fun failure(error: RavelinError) {
        Log.e("API Request Error", error.message)
    }
})

Java

class Example {
    // set Customer ID
    void main() {
        ravelin.setCustomerId("12346578");
        // immediately call asynchronously
        ravelin.trackFingerprint(new RavelinRequestCallback() {
            @Override
            public void success() {
                Log.d("API Request Success", "hooray");
            }

            @Override
            public void failure(RavelinError error) {
                Log.e("API Request Error", error.getMessage());
            }
        });
    }
}

trackPage

To indicate when the user hits a new page. We would like this to be used for every new page or screen the user goes to.

Required pageName, optional payload to be serialized and optional callback. Note: payload is of type LinkedHashMap<String, Any?>? but will accept only the following types for the value entry: Number?, String?, Boolean?, List<Any?>? where Any? could include combinations of Number?, String? and Boolean? In case you require support for additional types, please contact us and we would support them in future versions.

Kotlin

// immediately call asynchronously
ravelin.trackPage(
    "Product List - Toothbrushes",
    linkedMapOf("Property 1" to "Custom", "Property 2" to "Data"),
    object : RavelinRequestCallback() {
        override fun success() {
            Log.d("API Request Success", "hooray")
        }

        override fun failure(error: RavelinError) {
            Log.e("API Request Error", error.message)
        }
    })

Java

class Example {
    void main() {
        // immediately call asynchronously
        final LinkedHashMap<String, String> map = new LinkedHashMap<>();
        map.put("Proeprty 1", "Custom");
        map.put("Proeprty 2", "Data");

        ravelin.trackPage("Product List - Toothbrushes", map, new RavelinRequestCallback() {
            @Override
            public void success() {
                Log.d("API Request Success", "hooray");
            }

            @Override
            public void failure(RavelinError error) {
                Log.e("API Request Error", error.getMessage());
            }
        });
    }
}

trackSearch

To be used when a user performs a search.

There is an optional searchValue property that can be added to let us know about the search term.

Required pageTitle, optional searchValue to be serialized and optional callback.

Kotlin

// immediately call asynchronously
ravelin.trackSearch(
    "Product List - Toothbrushes",
    "search value",
    object : RavelinRequestCallback() {
        override fun success() {
            Log.d("API Request Success", "hooray")
        }

        override fun failure(error: RavelinError) {
            Log.e("API Request Error", error.message)
        }
    })

Java

class Example {

        });
    }
}

Paste Event Listener

The PasteEventListener is a TextWatcher that reports back when a user has pasted into an input box through a PasteEventListener.OnPaste interface.

Internally, the PasteEventListener will report back to Ravelin the pasted text after obfuscating input. The input should be obfuscated automatically as part of PasteEventListener - this is important because we don’t want to be accidentally sent sensitive information that may be copied and pasted (for example BINs).

This is primarily for use on PAN input fields but may be used anywhere.

Kotlin

val view = // Your EditText

    view.addTextChangedListener(
        PasteListener("page", object : PasteListener.OnPaste() {
            fun pasted() {
                Log.d("Paste Event", "user has pasted some content")
            }
        })
    )

Java

class Example {
    void main() {
        EditText view = // Your EditText

            view.addTextChangedListener(
                new PasteListener("page", new PasteListener.OnPaste() {

                    @Override
                    public void pasted() {
                        Log.d("Paste Event", "user has pasted some content");
                    }
                })
            );
    }
}

Proguard rules

This section is relevant for application providers who use proguard to optimise and obfuscate their source code and app resources. Since version 3.1.0, both ravelin-core and ravelin-encrypt source code is obfuscated with the help of proguard. To avoid additional obfuscation/optimisation/shrinking of these libraries or to avoid obfuscation of lower versions than 3.1.0, please add the following keep rules to your proguard configuration file:


-keep interface com.ravelin.** { *; }

-keep,includecode class com.ravelin.** { *; }

Access The DeviceId

The Ravelin SDK generates a unique DeviceId during the initialisation stage.

The following code snippets show how to access the deviceId.

Kotlin

class Example {
    fun getDeviceId(): String = run {
        val ravelinSdk = RavelinSDK.getSharedInstance()
        ravelinSdk.getDeviceId()
    }
}

Java

class Example {
    String getDeviceId() {
        RavelinSdk ravelinSdk = RavelinSDK.Companion.getSharedInstance();
        if (ravelinSdk != null) {
            return ravelinSdk.getDeviceId();
        } else {
            return null;
        }
    }
}

End-to-End Example

In the following form, we collect card details from the customer, encrypt them and send that encrypted values (the cipher) back to your server.

Kotlin

Once the cipher is received by your server, the API request to Ravelin in which a fraud recommendation is requested should use this cipher value:

/* Server-side */

var card = JSON.parse(request.params['ravelinCipherText']);
card.methodType = 'paymentMethodCipher';

var action = request('https://pci.ravelin.com/v2/checkout?score=true', {
    // ...
    'paymentMethod': card,
});
