Example Looker SDK Java Project using Gradle

This is a sample Java project demonstrating the use of Java with the Kotlin Looker SDK. The particular project uses Gradle for building and running a very simple Java class.

Prerequisites

Looker client id and secret

See Looker documentation on how to create these.

Kotlin Looker SDK Jar

Currently Looker does not publish the Kotlin Looker SDK jar so you need to do the following steps and copy the resultant jar into the lib folder of this project. Build the Kotlin Looker SDK jar as follows

  1. clone this repo.
  2. cd {repolocation}/kotlin
  3. ./gradlew jar
  4. copy ./build/libs/looker-kotlin-sdk.jar to the lib directory of this project.

Run

Once the looker-kotlin-sdk.jar has been copied into this project, you can run the example class.

  1. cd to the root of this example project.
  2. Create a .env in the root of this project. A sample .env_sample file is provided. You will need to populate the .env file with the Looker client id and secret obtained earlier.
  3. ./gradlew run

The run should print out:

User name is {user name associated with Looker client id}

Configuration

Note the example uses a .env file to configure the SDK. The example class copies these values into java system properties. The Looker INI file is also supported but an example is not provided. Please see the SDK Kotlin tests for examples of using the Looker INI.
