Use the RequestTipIntentBuilder class to build an Intent to display a tip screen for a customer.

Prerequisites

Read overview of the Clover platform.
Create a global developer account with a default test merchant account.
Order a Clover Developer Kit (Dev Kit) and set it up.
Use the required Android SDK versions.

Step

Build a simple tip request.

val tippableAmount = 2000L;
val builder = RequestTipIntentBuilder(tippableAmount)
val intent = builder.build(context)

long tippableAmount = 2000l;
RequestTipIntentBuilder builder = new RequestTipIntentBuilder(tippableAmount);
Intent intent = builder.build(context);

Additional field

Additional field to set on the RequestTipIntentBuilder class.

Field	Description
`tipSuggestions : List<TipSuggestion>`	List of up to four tip suggestions on either percentage or fixed amounts. Percentage-based suggestions are calculated based on the `tippableAmount`.

Example—Create custom tip suggestions

var tipSuggestions = listOf<TipSuggestion>(
   TipSuggestion.Percentage("Thanks!", 20L),
   TipSuggestion.Percentage("Good Job!", 25L),
   TipSuggestion.Percentage("Great!", 35L)
)
 
val tippableAmount = 2000L
val builder = RequestTipIntentBuilder(tippableAmount).tipSuggestions(tipSuggestions)
val intent = builder.build(context)

List<TipSuggestion> tipSuggestions = Arrays.asList(
            TipSuggestion.Percentage("Thanks!", 20L),
            TipSuggestion.Percentage("Good Job!", 25L),
            TipSuggestion.Percentage("Great!", 35L));
long tippableAmount = 2000l;
RequestTipIntentBuilder builder = new RequestTipIntentBuilder(tippableAmount).tipSuggestions(tipSuggestions);
Intent intent = builder.build(context);

Response details

When the tip selection flow completes, the response is available through onActivityResult()

Check the RequestTipIntentBuilder.Response class for the response fields.

For a successful request, retrieve the tip amount using the Intent: RequestTipIntentBuilder.Response.TIP_AMOUNT
For an unsuccessful request (error, failure, or cancellation), retrieve the optional failure message using the Intent: RequestTipIntentBuilder.Response.FAILURE_MESSAGE

Response example

fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
        if (requestCode == TIP_REQUEST_CODE) {
            if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
                val tipAmount = data?.getLongExtra(RequestTipIntentBuilder.Response.TIP_AMOUNT, -1)
            } else {
                // tip request failed, check for error
                val failureMessage = data?.getStringExtra(RequestTipIntentBuilder.Response.FAILURE_MESSAGE)
            }
        }
    }

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (requestCode == TIP_REQUEST_CODE) {
      if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        long tipAmount = data.getLongExtra(RequestTipIntentBuilder.Response.TIP_AMOUNT, -1);
      } else {
       // tip request failed, check for error
        String failureMessage = data.getStringExtra(RequestTipIntentBuilder.Response.FAILURE_MESSAGE);
      }
    }
  }
