The [Guardian for Android SDK](https://github.com/auth0/Guardian.Android) helps you create Android apps with Guardian functionality, providing secure access to <dfn data-key="multifactor-authentication">multi-factor authentication (MFA)</dfn> with push notifications. With this toolkit you can build your own customized version of the Guardian application that matches the look and feel of your organization.

## Requirements

Android API level 15+ is required in order to use the Guardian Android SDK.

## Install Guardian Android SDK

Guardian is available both in [Maven Central](http://search.maven.org) and [JCenter](https://bintray.com/bintray/jcenter). 

1. To start using *Guardian* add these lines to your `build.gradle` dependencies file:

    ```gradle
    implementation 'com.auth0.android:guardian-sdk:0.4.0'
    ```
