Initialize the
BlackBerry AppSecure SDK
 in your Android app

  1. Import the
    BlackBerry AppSecure SDK
     into an activity. 
    import com.blackberry.security.core.SecurityControl;
  2. Call 
    enableSecurity
    . 
    private SecurityControl mSecurity;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        // Initialize BlackBerry Security Library
        mSecurity = new SecurityControl(this.getApplicationContext());
        mSecurity.enableSecurity();
  3. Retrieve the identity token of your authenticated user from your IDP. 
    The ID token is a JSON Web Token (JWT), which is a cryptographically-signed, Base64-encoded JSON object. To retrieve the ID token from your IDP, you must have already authenticated the user.
    If you are using
    Firebase
    , the ID token can be retrieved by following the Firebase instructions to retrieve ID tokens on clients. Other IDPs that are compliant with
    OpenID Connect
     typically provide an endpoint and client library which returns the ID token.
  4. Provide the identity token to the
    BlackBerry AppSecure SDK
     runtime. 
    mSecurity.provideToken(idtoken)
  5. Confirm that the
    InitializationState
     of the runtime is 'active'.
Using the BlackBerry AppSecure SDK API reference, configure your application to be notified when a threat is detected.
