Estimote SDK for android manual installation

Eclipse users: Mark Murphy on his blog explained how to use aar format in Eclipse.

1. Create libs directory inside your project and copy there estimote-sdk.aar.
2. In your build.gradle add flatDir entry to your repositories

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
    flatDir {
      dirs 'libs'
    }
}

3. Add dependency to Estimote SDK. All needed permissions (BLUETOOTH, BLUETOOTH_ADMIN and INTERNET) and services will be merged from SDK's AndroidManifest.xml to your application's AndroidManifest.xml.

dependencies {
  compile(name:'estimote-sdk', ext:'aar')
}

4. Initialize Estimote SDK in your Application class onCreate() method - if you are using Estimote Cloud:

//  App ID & App Token can be taken from App section of Estimote Cloud.
EstimoteSDK.initialize(applicationContext, appId, appToken);
// Optional, debug logging.
EstimoteSDK.enableDebugLogging(true);
