Java SDK Getting Started Guide

Overview

You can use AccelByte Cloud’s Java SDK to implement our backend services within your game. The SDK acts as a bridge between your game and our services. This guide will show you how to create a project which uses Java Server SDK from scratch.

Prerequisites

• AccelByte Cloud (demo environment):
  • Use https://demo.accelbyte.io (opens new window) for AB_BASE_URL environment variable.
  • Create an Oauth Client with client type Confidential.
    • Use Client ID value for AB_CLIENT_ID environment variable.
    • Use Client Secret value for AB_CLIENT_SECRET environment variable.
• AccelByte Cloud Java SDK (opens new window)
• Java Development Kit (JDK) 8
• Gradle 7
• Java IDE

Tutorial

Create a Java Project

Create a folder and use gradle init to create a Java project.

$ mkdir myproject
$ cd myproject/
$ gradle init --type java-application --dsl groovy --test-framework junit-jupiter

Welcome to Gradle 7.4.2!

Here are the highlights of this release:
 - Aggregated test and JaCoCo reports
 - Marking additional test source directories as tests in IntelliJ
 - Support for Adoptium JDKs in Java toolchains

For more details see https://docs.gradle.org/7.4.2/release-notes.html

Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)

Generate build using new APIs and behavior (some features may change in the next minor release)? (default: no) [yes, no]

Project name (default: myproject):
Source package (default: myproject):

Add to Project Dependency

1. Add the required configuration in build.gradle.

2. Replace {VERSION} with a specific release version tag (opens new window) without the leading v character.

   // build.gradle
   
   repositories {
   mavenCentral()
   ...
   }
   
   dependencies {
   ...
   implementation 'net.accelbyte.sdk:sdk:{VERSION}'
   }
   

   TIP

   We recommended using the Java Server SDK version that matches your AccelByte Cloud version.

Use in Code

1. Create an SDK instance, log in using client credentials, and call an AccelByte Cloud API in App.java.

2. The DefaultConfigRepository gets its values from AB_BASE_URL, AB_CLIENT_ID, and AB_CLIENT_SECRET environment variables.

   // App.java
   
   package myproject;
   
   import net.accelbyte.sdk.api.iam.models.OauthmodelCountryLocationResponse;
   import net.accelbyte.sdk.api.iam.operations.o_auth2_0_extension.GetCountryLocationV3;
   import net.accelbyte.sdk.api.iam.wrappers.OAuth20Extension;
   import net.accelbyte.sdk.core.AccelByteSDK;
   import net.accelbyte.sdk.core.client.OkhttpClient;
   import net.accelbyte.sdk.core.repository.DefaultConfigRepository;
   import net.accelbyte.sdk.core.repository.DefaultTokenRepository;
   
   public class App {
       public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
           // Create default HTTP client, token repository, and config repository instance
   
           OkhttpClient httpClient = new OkhttpClient();
           DefaultTokenRepository tokenRepository = new DefaultTokenRepository();
           DefaultConfigRepository configRepository = new DefaultConfigRepository();
   
           // Create SDK instance
   
           AccelByteSDK sdk = new AccelByteSDK(
                   httpClient,
                   tokenRepository,
                   configRepository);
   
           // Login using client credentials
   
           boolean isLoginOk = sdk.loginClient();
   
           if (!isLoginOk) {
               System.exit(1); // Login failed
           }
   
           // Call an AccelByte Cloud endpoint e.g. GetCountryLocationV3
   
           OAuth20Extension wrapper = new OAuth20Extension(sdk);
           GetCountryLocationV3 operation = GetCountryLocationV3.builder()
                   .build();
           OauthmodelCountryLocationResponse response = wrapper.getCountryLocationV3(operation);
   
           System.out.println(response.getCountryName());
       }
   }
   

Run the Code

Set the required environment variables and run the code using gradle run.

$ export AB_BASE_URL="https://demo.accelbyte.io"              # AccelByte Cloud Base URL e.g. demo environment
$ export AB_CLIENT_ID="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"      # AccelByte Cloud OAuth Client ID
$ export AB_CLIENT_SECRET="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"  # AccelByte Cloud OAuth Client Secret
$ gradle run

Import AccelByte Services

You can now start using the following AccelByte services in your app.
