Lifecycle and Recording

Setup and start recording

Pre API 2.0

Smartlook.setupAndStartRecording(optionsOrAPIKey);

API 2.0

There is no explicit setup() method. The SDK is set up automatically.

Also, recording can be started even though the project key is not set yet. The recorded data will not be sent out till the project key is set but will be stored for the "future" send.

This can be beneficial when the project key is fetched from a server. In this scenario, the recording can be started right away (on the application start). The recording will be complete, the upload of recorded data is just postponed until the project key is set.

Smartlook.setProjectKey({key: "API_KEY"});
Smartlook.start();
