# Setup

1\. Ensure that your Minimum SDK version is at least API level 22 or above ( Android 5.1 ). In case your android project compiles for API level below 22, you can include the following line in your AndroidManifest.xml file to avoid any compilation issues :

Copy

```
<uses-sdk tools:overrideLibrary="com.truecaller.android.sdk"/> 
```

Using this would ensure that the sdk works normally for API level 22 & above, and would be disabled for API level < 22 Please make sure that you put the necessary API level checks before accessing the SDK methods in case compiling for API level < 22

2\. Add the following dependency in your app level **build.gradle** file :

Copy

```
dependencies {
    ...
    implementation "com.truecaller.android.sdk:truecaller-sdk:2.8.0"
}
```

Also, add the following lines of code in your gradle file, if not already present

Copy

```
android{
    compileOptions{
         sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
         targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
}
```

Add *mavenCentral*() in your project level **build.gradle** file :

Copy

```
allprojects{ 
    repositories{ 
       ...
       mavenCentral()
       ... 
    } 
 }
```

{% hint style="info" %}
*Please note that Truecaller SDK already contains consumer proguard rules,* *so it will be appended automatically to your app's proguard rules* *and you do not need to have any additional proguard rules to be added for the SDK to function.*
{% endhint %}
