Code Organization
The CardVerify SDK is built from multiple android modules, each of which builds upon more base modules. The structure of the modules used in CardVerify looks like this:
module structure
The CardVerify SDK consists of these modules as well as a demo app:
​scan-framework​
​scan-camera​
​scan-payment​
​scan-payment-verify​
​scan-ui​
​cardverify-ui​
​cardverify-demo​
scan-framework
The scan-framework module contains the framework used to scan images. See the architecture document for details on how it processes images from the camera.
scan-camera
The scan-camera module contains the camera interfaces for setting up the camera on the device and receiving images from it. It also handles converting the images from the camera to a processable format.
scan-payment
The scan-payment module contains the code for validating and managing payment cards.
scan-payment-verify
The closed-source scan-payment-verify module builds on top of the scan-payment module and contains the code for validating the authenticity of payment cards.
scan-ui
The scan-ui module contains some common functionality shared between user interfaces for scanning cards. This provides the card viewfinder, debug overlay, and base scan activity.
cardverify-ui
The closed-source cardverify-ui module builds on top of the scan-ui and scan-payment-verify modules to provide user interfaces for scanning payment cards. Anything specific to the user interface of the CardVerify product lives in this library.
cardverify-demo
The closed-source cardverify-demo app provides a demonstration for launching the CardVerify SDK as a separate activity and for integrating the CardVerify library into an existing activity.
Building
Check out the project using git. Note that this project makes use of submodules, so a recursive clone is recommended.
1
git clone --recursive https://github.com/getbouncer/cardverify-android
Copied!
To build the project, run the following command:
1
./gradlew build
Copied!
To create an AAR release of the app, run the following command:
1
./gradlew assembleRelease
Copied!
This will place an AAR file in cardverify-ui/build/outputs/aar
Contributing
These libraries follow a standard github contribution flow.
1.Create a new github feature branch
1
 git checkout -b <your_github_name>/<your_feature_name>
Copied!
2.Make your code changes
3.Push your branch to origin
1
 git push --set-upstream origin <your_branch_name>
Copied!
4.Create a new pull request on github, and tag appropriate owners.
5.Once you have approval, merge your branch into master and delete your feature branch from github.
Running Unit Tests
Unit tests can be run from android studio or from the command line. To execute from the command line, run the following command:
1
./gradlew test
Copied!
Running Android Tests
Android tests can be run from android studio or from the command line. To execute from the command line, run the following command:
1
./gradlew connectedAndroidTest
Copied!
Note that these tests require that you have an emulator running or a physical device connected to your machine via ADB.
Releasing
See the release documentation.
