Quick Start
Get started with the SmartSpectra Android SDK — Kotlin, min SDK 28.
This repo contains two build guides that produce similar user end states:
The only difference in builds is that the API key build gets up and running very fast, but hard-codes your API key. The OAuth build is more suitable for production deployments because it avoids hard-coding your API key.
Scope
These quickstarts intentionally request only:
SmartSpectraConfig.breathingMetricsSmartSpectraConfig.cardioMetricsMetricType.EXPRESSIONS
Please see the detailed documents for additional features.
Important Implementation Rules
Start by creating a new Android app project named Cool Vitals with package name com.example.coolvitals.
The Quick Start is intended so that the developer can replace app/src/main/java/com/example/coolvitals/MainActivity.kt as a full file.
- Use
SmartSpectraSdk.shared. - Use
PreviewViewwithsdk.config.previewSurfaceProviderfor native CameraX preview. - Disable bitmap preview frames with
sdk.config.imageOutputEnabled = false. - Buffer trace samples locally before drawing charts.
- Keep camera permission in the activity flow with
ActivityResultContracts.RequestPermission().
Choose Your Guide
Use Option 1: API Key for the fastest manual setup.
Use Option 2: OAuth if you need OAuth.
Either way, an AI assistant connected to the SmartSpectra MCP Server can do the account side for you — fetch your API key, or register your package name and signing certificate fingerprint and download presage_services.xml.
LLM Insights
See LLM Insights for natural-language analysis of the measured vitals.
Logging
SDK log verbosity defaults to warnings and errors only. To change it, set
logLevel on the config you pass to initialize:
val config = SmartSpectraConfig().apply {
logLevel = SmartSpectraLogLevel.INFO
}
SmartSpectraSdk.initialize(context, config)Levels are cumulative — DEBUG, INFO, WARNING (default), ERROR, NONE.
The setting covers both the SDK's Kotlin-side logging and the native engine.
DEBUG cannot restore debug-only statements compiled out of the release
engine binary.
