This document describes how to integrate Kakao Talk Social APIs into your service with the Kakao SDK for Android ("Android SDK").

Before you begin

Add modules

To use this API, you must add both v2-user (Kakao Login module) and v2-talk (Kakao Talk module that provides TalkApiClient in the module-level build.gradle file by referring to Add modules. To implement the Friend picker, you must also add v2-friend module that provides PickerClient.

TalkApiClient.instance.profile { profile, error ->
    if (error != null) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Failed to retrieve Kakao Talk profile", error)
    }
    else if (profile != null) {
        Log.i(TAG, "Succeeded in retrieving Kakao Talk profile" +

}

var disposables = CompositeDisposable()

// Retrieve Kakao Talk profile
TalkApiClient.rx.profile()
    .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
    .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
    .subscribe({ profile ->
        Log.i(TAG, "Succeeded in retrieving Kakao Talk profile" +
