Doki

Doki by Double Dot Labs is an UI Library helping you with displaying information from DKMA. It provides a nice UI easily embeddable into your app if you do not want to mess with the APIs below.

AutoStarter

AutoStart by Jude Fernandes is a library that helps bring up the autostart permission manager for different OEMs so that users can allows apps to start automatically. AOSP does not use this permission, but some OEMs (usually highly rated in our list) require it.

JSON API v2 docs

  "manufacturer": ["name","alias1","alias2"],
  "url": "/relative-url-to-vendor",
  "award": number or null,
  "position": number or null,
  "explanation": "JSON-escaped HTML",
  "user_solution": "JSON-escaped HTML",
  "developer_solution": "JSON-escaped HTML"
}

Android example (Kotlin):

// Use this method in your ViewModel
fun getDKMAData() {

    viewModelScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {

        val result = try {
            val manufacturer = Build.MANUFACTURER.toLowerCase(Locale.ROOT).replace(" ", "-")
            val url = URL("https://dontkillmyapp.com/api/v2/$manufacturer.json")
            val json = JSONTokener(url.readText()).nextValue() as JSONObject?
            json?.getString("user_solution")?.replace(Regex("\\[[Yy]our app\\]"), yourAppName)
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            // Vendor not present in the DontKillMyApp list
            null
        }

        withContext(Dispatchers.Main) {
            when (result) {
                null -> TODO("Handle lack of result")
                else -> TODO("Pass back result to your UI here")
            }
        }

    }
}

// Use this method in your UI, Activity or Fragment
fun showData(result: String) {
    AlertDialog.Builder(context)
        .setTitle("How to make my app work")
        .setView(webview.loadDKMAData(result))
        .setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, null)
        .show()
}

fun WebView.loadDKMAData(result: String) {
    loadData(result, "text/html; charset=utf-8", "UTF-8")
    webViewClient = object : WebViewClient() {
        override fun shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view: WebView?, url: String?): Boolean {
