Integrate SDK

Let's start coding in your Android project!

Initialize and Start EdgePulse

Import the EdgePulse module at the top of your main file:
main.kt
```
import com.edge.pulse.EdgePulse
```
Create a variable for EdgePulse that is accessible throughout the class:
main.kt
```
lateinit var edgePulse: EdgePulse
```
Initialize EdgePulse in your onCreate or init function, providing the application context and your access token:
main.kt
```
edgePulse = EdgePulse(context, "<YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>")
```

Before starting EdgePulse, request the necessary location permissions from the user programmatically. For example:

main.kt
val permissions = arrayOf(
   android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
   android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,
   android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION
)
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, permissions, REQUEST_CODE_LOCATION)
``

Once EdgePulse is initialized and permissions are granted, start the SDK tracking:
main.kt
```
edgePulse.start()
```
