Huawei is the number one manufacturer of phones (https://www.statista.com/statistics...by-smartphone-vendors-since-4th-quarter-2009/). Due to USA restrictions, the new phones that they sell do not include Google Play, Google Play Services and other Google components.
They have created their own ecosystem and as developers we shouldn't ignore this ecosystem. There might be opportunities here.
Currently this library supports analytics, push notifications, DRM check, ads and in app purchases.
I want to thank @Ferdari and other developers who already built wrappers for some of HMS features. Their work did help me while building this library.
The implementation is built in such way that it will not add the HMS SDK unless the build configuration includes the HMS conditional symbol (Ctrl + B):

Instructions:
- Register as a Huawei developer: https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/
- Download the attached zip and www.b4x.com/android/files/hms_sdk.zip. Unzip them and copy all files to the additional libraries folder.
- Open the AppGallery Connect page and create a new project.
- Find the Manage APIs page and make sure that Analytics Kit and Push Kit (if needed) are enabled.
- Go to the General Information tab. Set the SHA-256 fingerprint. You can find it in the IDE under Tools - Private Sign Key:
- Download agconnect-services.json and put it in the project folder (where the b4a file is located).
- Add the HMS symbol to the build configuration (Ctrl + B) and make sure that the package name matches the project package name defined in AppGallery Connect.
- Add to main module:

- Run the project in debug mode. It will show analytics related logs. Move the app to the background and to the foreground a few times. You should see a message similar to:
B4X:10-30 11:05:02.794 20298 21440 I HiAnalyticsSDK: SendTask=> events PostRequest sendevent TYPE : oper, TAG : _openness_config_tag, resultCode: 200 ,reqID:7d328467a831341dcfb442174a5c8208 - You should also see the traffic in:
Tips & Notes
- The analytics logs are only redirected in debug mode.
- In debug mode you might see an "application not responding" message from time to time. It is related to these logs. It doesn't happen in release mode.
