# Quickstart

## What this quickstart helps you achieve

This quickstart is the shortest reliable path to a working Mapp Intelligence Android SDK v5 integration. After completing it, the SDK is added to your app, initialized in your `Application`, and prepared for your first tracking implementation.

## Use this page when

- you are integrating the SDK for the first time
- you want a clear setup order without reading the full documentation tree
- you want to separate initial setup from later tracking and runtime topics

## Before you begin

Have the following available before you start:

- a supported Android project setup
- at least one valid **Track ID**
- a valid **Track Domain**

If you first need to confirm platform and tooling prerequisites, start with [Requirements & Compatibility](https://docs.mapp.com/docs/en/mapp-intelligence-android-sdk-v5-requirements-compatibility).

## Recommended reading order

1. [Requirements & Compatibility](https://docs.mapp.com/docs/en/mapp-intelligence-android-sdk-v5-requirements-compatibility)

Confirm Android, Java, and project prerequisites before integrating the SDK.
2. [Add the SDK Dependency](https://docs.mapp.com/docs/en/mapp-intelligence-android-sdk-v5-add-sdk-dependency)

Add the dependency, repository configuration, and required Android permission.
3. [Initialize the SDK](https://docs.mapp.com/docs/en/mapp-intelligence-android-sdk-v5-initialize-sdk)

Create the minimal working SDK setup in your `Application` class.
4. [Configure Global Tracking](https://docs.mapp.com/docs/en/mapp-intelligence-android-sdk-v5-configure-global-tracking)

Adjust global SDK behavior without overloading the initial setup.

## What this page should not replace

The overview page explains how the documentation is structured. The detailed setup pages explain the implementation details. This quickstart should stay focused on sequence and momentum, not on documenting every optional SDK feature.

## After the quickstart

Once setup is complete, continue with the tracking path that matches your app:

- **Automatic Tracking** if the built-in activity and fragment tracking matches your needs
- **Object Oriented Tracking** if you want explicit event objects and stronger implementation control
- **Query Parameter Tracking** if your integration is based on parameter-style requests

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> A good quickstart reduces decisions. It should help a new integrator finish the first setup safely, then hand off to the right tracking guide.
