My Application onCreate ()

@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Taplytics.startTaplytics(this, <my api number>); 
}

I have the supplied gradle setup with dependencies:

    //Taplytics
    compile("com.taplytics.sdk:taplytics:+@aar")

    //Dependencies for taplytics
    compile("com.mcxiaoke.volley:library:+")

    //Excluding org.json due to compiler warnings
    //socket.io connections only made on debug devices OR if making live changes to a release build.
    //No socket.io connection will be made on your release devices unless explicitly told to do so.
    compile("com.github.nkzawa:socket.io-client:+") {
        exclude group: 'org.json'
    }
    compile("com.github.nkzawa:engine.io-client:+") {
        exclude group: 'org.json'
    }

    //End Taplytics
