I'm trying to follow the Integrating with Clover Android SDK guide but CloverAccount.getAccount(this) is always returning null. I read the other posts in the community forum but they didn't help me.
I setup a Station 2018 and a Mini 2nd Gen emulator for my sandbox account following the guide. They both have the Clover launcher running and I went through the tedious process of clicking install for all the Clover apps. The Launcher shows my sandbox merchant info on the right and the Inventory app downloaded my inventory. Everything seems to be working correctly with the emulators.
I created a new project in Android Studio using the "Empty Activity" template. Updated the gradle file with the SDK versions and added the Clover dependency. Added the permission to the manifest. Then added some simple code in the Main Activity as in the guide. The three files are shown below. The project builds without errors. I generate a signed release apk with v1 signature.
In the sandbox dashboard I created a new app, enabled all the permissions (just for learning in the sandbox), upload and save the apk generated above. I then click "preview in app market" and then "Connect".
The app then installs in the emulators and when I run them, the Toast says "clover account is null". I'm still new to the Clover SDK so I am sure I am doing something wrong. But I can not get CloverAccount.getAccount(this) to return anything but null.
Here is my gradle file
