# Android

## Android setup

In your `build.gradle` add *Authenteq* maven repository to repositories list:

```groovy
repositories {
    maven {
        url 'https://repo.app.authenteq.com/repository/maven-hosted'
    }
}

```

&#x20;▸ Set min Android SDK to level 21 (Android 5.0) in `build.gradle`

```groovy
minSdkVersion 21
```

▸ Adjust backup settings in `AndroidManifest.xml` by changing the `allowBackup` attribute to `true`

```
android:allowBackup="true"
```

or disable it by adding this `attribute` in application tag

```groovy
tools:replace="android:allowBackup"
```

this also requires you to add the following attribute in `manifest` tag

```groovy
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
```
