Android code examples

This topic will introduce you to important code elements for the Android version of the RMS SDK.

Note

In the example code and descriptions that follow, we use the term MSIPC (Microsoft Information Protection and Control) to reference the client process.

 

Using the Rights Management SDK 4.2 - key scenarios

Following are code examples from a larger sample application representing development scenarios important to your orientation to this SDK. These demonstrate; use of Microsoft Protected File format referred to as protected file , use of custom protected file formats, and use of custom UI controls.

The sample application, MSIPCSampleApp, is available for use with this SDK for the Android operating system. See rms-sdk-ui-for-android on GitHub for access to this sample application.

Scenario: Consume an RMS protected file

  • Step 1: Create a ProtectedFileInputStream

    Source: MsipcAuthenticationCallback.java

    Description: Instantiate a ProtectedFileInputStream object, through its create method which implements service authentication using the AuthenticationRequestCallback to get a token by passing an instance of AuthenticationRequestCallback, as the parameter mRmsAuthCallback, to the MSIPC API. See the call to ProtectedFileInputStream.create near the end of the following example code section.

    public void startContentConsumptionFromPtxtFileFormat(InputStream inputStream)
        {
            CreationCallback<ProtectedFileInputStream> protectedFileInputStreamCreationCallback = 
              new CreationCallback<ProtectedFileInputStream>()
            {
                @Override
                public Context getContext()
                {
                   …
               }
    
                @Override
                public void onCancel()
                {
                   …
                }
    
                @Override
                public void onFailure(ProtectionException e)
                {
                   …
                }
    
                @Override
                public void onSuccess(ProtectedFileInputStream protectedFileInputStream)
                {
                   …
                   …
                    byte[] dataChunk = new byte[16384];
                    try
                    {
                        while ((nRead = protectedFileInputStream.read(dataChunk, 0, 
                                dataChunk.length)) != -1)
                        {
                            …
                        }
                         …
                        protectedFileInputStream.close();
                    }
                    catch (IOException e)
                    {
                      …
                    }  
              }
            };
            try
            {
               …
                ProtectedFileInputStream.create(inputStream, null, mRmsAuthCallback, 
                                                PolicyAcquisitionFlags.NONE, 
                                                protectedFileInputStreamCreationCallback);
            }
            catch (com.microsoft.rightsmanagement.exceptions.InvalidParameterException e)
            {
                …
            }
        }
    
  • Step 2: Setup authentication using the Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL).

    Source: MsipcAuthenticationCallback.java.

    **Description**: In this step you will see ADAL used to implement an [**AuthenticationRequestCallback**](authenticationrequestcallback-interface-java.md) with example authentication parameters. For more information on using ADAL, see the [Azure AD Authentication Library (ADAL)](/previous-versions/azure/jj573266(v=azure.100)).

                             }
    
    
  • Step 3: Check if the Edit right exists for this user with this content via the accessCheck method of UserPolicy.

    Source: TextEditorFragment.java

             //check if user has edit rights and apply enforcements
                if (!mUserPolicy.accessCheck(EditableDocumentRights.Edit))
                {

                    mTextEditor.setFocusable(false);
                    mTextEditor.setEnabled(false);
                    …
                }
    

Scenario: Create a new protected file using a template

This scenario begins with getting a list of templates, selecting the first one to create a policy, then creates and writes to the new protected file.

  • **Step 1**: Get list of templates via a [**TemplateDescriptor**](templatedescriptor-class-java.md) object.**Source**: *MsipcTaskFragment.java* **Description**: TBD ```Java CreationCallback
      @Override

    }; try { … mIAsyncControl = TemplateDescriptor.getTemplates(emailId, mRmsAuthCallback, getTemplatesCreationCallback); } catch (com.microsoft.rightsmanagement.exceptions.InvalidParameterException e) { … }

    
    
    
    **Step 2**: Create a [**UserPolicy**](userpolicy-class-java.md) using the first template in the list.**Source**: *MsipcTaskFragment.java*  
    **Description**: TBD  
    ```Java
     CreationCallback<UserPolicy> userPolicyCreationCallback = new CreationCallback<UserPolicy>()

  • **Step 1**: With an email address provided by the user, create a policy descriptor. **Source**: *MsipcTaskFragment.java* **Description**: In practice the following objects would be created by using user inputs from the device interface; [**UserRights**](userrights-class-java.md) and [**PolicyDescriptor**](policydescriptor-interface-java.md). ```Java

    ...

    // create userRights list UserRights userRights = new UserRights(Arrays.asList("consumer@domain.com"), Arrays.asList( CommonRights.View, EditableDocumentRights.Print)); ArrayList usersRigthsList = new ArrayList(); usersRigthsList.add(userRights);

    // Create PolicyDescriptor using userRights list PolicyDescriptor policyDescriptor = PolicyDescriptor.createPolicyDescriptorFromUserRights( usersRigthsList); policyDescriptor.setOfflineCacheLifetimeInDays(10); policyDescriptor.setContentValidUntil(new Date());

    ...

    
    
    
    **Step 2**: Create a custom [**UserPolicy**](userpolicy-class-java.md) from the policy descriptor, *selectedDescriptor*. **Source**: *MsipcTaskFragment.java*
    ```Java
    
       ...
       mIAsyncControl = UserPolicy.create((PolicyDescriptor)selectedDescriptor, 
                                              mEmailId, mRmsAuthCallback,
                                              UserPolicyCreationFlags.NONE, 
                                              userPolicyCreationCallback);
       ...
    
    
  • Step 3: Create and write content to the CustomProtectedOutputStream and then close.

    Source: MsipcTaskFragment.java

        File file = new File(filePath);
        final OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
        CreationCallback<CustomProtectedOutputStream> customProtectedOutputStreamCreationCallback = new CreationCallback<CustomProtectedOutputStream>()
        {
            @Override
            public Context getContext()
            {
              …
            }
    
            @Override
            public void onCancel()
            {
              …
            }
    
            @Override
            public void onFailure(ProtectionException e)
            {
              …
            }
    
            @Override
            public void onSuccess(CustomProtectedOutputStream protectedOutputStream)
            {
                try
                {
                    // write serializedContentPolicy
                    byte[] serializedContentPolicy = mUserPolicy.getSerializedContentPolicy();
                    writeLongAsUnsignedIntToStream(outputStream, serializedContentPolicy.length);
                    outputStream.write(serializedContentPolicy);
                    // write encrypted content
                    if (contentToProtect != null)
                    {
                        writeLongAsUnsignedIntToStream(outputStream,
                                CustomProtectedOutputStream.getEncryptedContentLength(contentToProtect.length,
                                        protectedOutputStream.getUserPolicy()));
                        protectedOutputStream.write(contentToProtect);
                        protectedOutputStream.flush();
                        protectedOutputStream.close();
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        outputStream.flush();
                        outputStream.close();
                    }
                    …
                }
                catch (IOException e)
                {
                  …
                }
            }
        };
        try
        {
            mIAsyncControl = CustomProtectedOutputStream.create(outputStream, mUserPolicy,
                    customProtectedOutputStreamCreationCallback);
        }
        catch (InvalidParameterException e)
        {
          …
        }
