Swarovski Optik OpenAPI Documentation

Welcome to the Swarovski Optik OpenAPI Documentation. Here you will find all the materials to understand, learn and build applications that connect to the AX Visio.

Quick-Start Guide

The following steps are a quick-start guide to build an Android Application:

  1. Get a working Android Application Developement Setup, own your personal computer. E.g., you need to install AndroidStudio.
  2. Go to Github and clone the openapi-developer-example-app repository.
  3. Read the README.md and add your API key, that you have received from Swarovski Optik, to the gradle project files.
  4. Build, deploy and run the application with Android Studio on your smartphone.
  5. Follow the instructions on the application's screen. It walks you through the steps to connect your smartphone to the AX Visio and start the OpenAPI Inside application.

Congratulations! You have built your first Android Application that uses the OpenAPI of the AX Visio.
