The Android client module has been restored to working order, and no longer
|

requires a special classifier or an XML parser to be present in order to

work. This means that the hapi-fhir-android library is much less likely

to cause conflicts with other libraries imported into an Android application

via Gradle.

|
||||
HAPI now has a specially built module for use on Android. Android developers
|
||||
may use this JAR to take advantage of the FHIR model classes, and the FHIR client (running a FHIR server
|
||||
on Android is not yet supported. Help wanted!)

on Android is not yet supported. Get in touch if this is something you are interested in working on!)

</p>
|

|

<p>
|
||||
The Android JAR ships as a "shade JAR", meaning it is a single JAR containing all of the
|
||||
dependencies required in order to use HAPI FHIR. You should not need to include any other
|
||||
libraries.
|
||||
As of HAPI FHIR 3.1.0, the <code>hapi-fhir-android</code> module has been streamlined in order
|
||||
to reduce its footprint. Previous versions of the library included both an XML and a JSON parser
|
||||
but this has been streamlined to only include JSON support in order to reduce the number of
|
||||
libraries required in an Android build.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|

<p>
|
||||
When using the HAPI FHIR Android client, the client will request only JSON responses
|
||||
(via the HTTP <code>Accept</code> header) and will not be able to communicate
|
||||
with FHIR servers that support only XML encoding (few, if any, servers actually exist
|
||||
with this limitation that we are aware of).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The Android client also uses the <code>hapi-fhir-client-okhttp</code> module,
|
||||
which is an HTTP client based on the OkHttp library. This library has proven to be
|
||||
more powerful and less likely to cause issues on Android than the Apache HttpClient
|
||||
implementation which is bundled by default.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Note that the Android JAR is still new and hasn't received as much testing as other
|
||||
parts of the library. We would greatly appreciate feedback, testing, etc. Also note that

To add the HAPI library via Gradle, use the following

To add the HAPI library via Gradle, you should add the

<a href="http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Chapi-fhir-android">hapi-fhir-android</a>
|
||||
library to your Gradle file, as well as a structures library for the appropriate
|
||||
version of FHIR that you want to support, e.g.
|
||||
<a href="http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Chapi-fhir-structures">hapi-fhir-structures-dstu3</a>.

|

<ul>
|
||||
<li>The classifier should be set to the version of FHIR you want to support.</li>
|

<li>
|

You need to excluded a few things in order to get this to work. This is
|
||||
a quirk because the way HAPI is built and will hopefully be resolved in a future
|
||||
release.
