This is a sample android application to test Safaricom M-Pesa STK push using Twiga Engineering android-daraja-sdk library, android-daraja-sdk).

• Android Studio
• Kotlin
• Kotlin anko

1. Create a developer account on the Safaricom Developer Portal (https://developer.safaricom.co.ke/)
2. Create a Lipa na M-Pesa online app on the console
3. Go to https://developer.safaricom.co.ke/test_credentials to get test credentials for transactions

1. On your android studio start screen, go to 'Check out from version control'
2. Paste the clone link (https://github.com/tirgei/MpesaDaraja.git) then press clone
3. Open the project

You'll need to setup firebase which in this case will be used for authentication. We'll later use firebase to send confirmation notifications using Firebase functions once a transaction is successful.

1. On your android studio, click on 'Tools' from the menu bar then Firebase.
2. A firebase assistant pane will open from the right.
3. Click on 'Authentication' then connect to firebase, the authentication dependency will be added

You can check the firebase functions repo here: MpesaDaraja-Functions

Create a Kotlin object named 'Constants' to hold the variables.

From the Safaricom test credentials page:

• PAYBILL (Lipa na M-Pesa Online Shortcode)
• PASSKEY (Lipa na M-Pesa Online Passkey)
• ACCOUNT_REF (Initiator name)

From the app you created in your developer console:

• CONSUMER_KEY
• CONSUMER_SECRET

You're now all set to tinker around, Happy Coding :)
