Add an application class

RudderStack recommends using a global Application class to initialize our SDK. If you don’t have an Application class for your project, follow these steps:

1. Create a class that extends Application.

class MainApplication : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        // initialize Rudder SDK here
    }
}

import android.app.Application;
public class MainApplication extends Application {
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        // initialize Rudder SDK here
    }
}

2. Open AndroidManifest.xml file of your app and locate <application> tag.
3. Add an attribute android:name and set it to your new application class.

<application
    android:name=".MainApplication"
    <!-- ... -->
</application>
