public static void Initialize(String apiKey, String privateKey)
Initializes the singleton instance of WarpClient with the developer credentials. This has to be called only once during the lifetime of the application. It is required before you can call any other API.
Parameters
apiKey - The Application key given when the application was created. secretKey - The secret key corresponding to the application key given when the application was created.
Returns
void
Sets up your connection with the AppWarp cloud server. The username passed in this method must be unique across all other concurrently connected users. If two users with the same name try to connect at the same time, then the last one will win and the older one will get disconnected. The result of the operation is provided in the onConnectDone callback of the ConnectionRequestListener.
public void Connect(String username)
username - name of the player
Returns
void
Disconnects the connection with the AppWarp server. The result for this request will be provided in the onDisConnectDone callback of the ConnectionRequestListener.
public void Disconnect()
Parameters
Returns
void
Queries the connection state of the client with the server. The returned byte value should be interpreted as WarpConnectionState.
public byte GetConnectionState()
Parameters
Returns
byte

Returns
void
Sends a create turn based room request to the server with the given meta data. Result of the request is provided in the onCreateRoomDone callback of the registered ZoneRequestListener objects. If successful, this will create a dynamic turn based room at the server. These rooms lifetime is limited till the time users are inside it. Read more about Rooms here.

Parameters
moveData - any meta data associated with the move
Returns
void
Sends a delete room request to the server. Result of the request is provided in the onDeleteRoomDone callback of the registered ZoneRequestListener objects.

Parameters
roomId - Id of the room to be deleted
Returns
void
Sends a subscribe room request to the server. Result of the request is provided in the onSubscribeRoomDone callback of the registered RoomRequestListener objects.

In addition the client will also receive notifications when a user joins or leaves the subscribed room. These notifications are given in the registered NotifyListener objects.
public void SubscribeRoom(String roomId)
Parameters
roomId - Id of the room to be subscribed
Returns
Sends a unsubscribe room request to the server. Result of the request is provided in the onUnSubscribeRoomDone callback of the registered RoomRequestListener objects.
public void UnSubscribeRoom(String roomId)
Parameters
roomId - Id of the room to be unsubscribed
Returns
void
Sends a chat message to the room (or lobby) in which the user is currently joined. Result of the request is provided in the onSendChatDone callback of the registered ChatRequestListener objects. All users who are subscribed to the location in which the message is sent will get a onChatReceived event on their registered NotifyListener objects.
public void SendChat(String message)
Parameters
message - message to be send
Returns
void
Sends a private message to the given user if its online. Result of the request is provided in the onSendPrivateChatDone callback of the registered ChatRequestListener objects. The sender and receiver don’t need to be in the same room or lobby for the private message to be delivered. This is useful in building invite/challenge friend like scenarios. If successful, the receiver will get a onPrivateChatReceived event on its registered NotifyListener objects.
public void sendPrivateChat(String username, String message)
Parameters
username - recipient of the message
message - message to be send
Returns
void
Sends a byte array update message to room in which the user is currently joined. Result of the request is provided in the onSendUpdateDone callback of the registered UpdateRequestListener objects. All users who are subscribed to the room in which the update is sent will get a onUpdatePeersReceived event on their registered NotifyListener objects. This is useful if developers want to send their own binary encoded data across and is useful in minimizing the payload exchanged between the clients and AppWarp cloud server. The frequency at which these messages can be processed is not restricted by the server. However, the latency involved is largely determined by the client’s bandwidth. The corresponding UDP flavor of this API is sendUdpUpdatePeers, which is unreliable and may not work over cellular data connections – hence no result callback should be expected from it. The behavior is otherwise similar.
public void SendUpdatePeers(byte[] update)
Parameters
update - byte array data to be sent
Returns
void
