# Android SDK Overview

The Advocate Android SDK gives you complete control of the look and feel of your referral program on mobile devices. The Android SDK provides the flexibility to work directly with the data from your program and display it in your mobile app.

With our SDK, you can register your users with Advocate, track their referrals, and fetch user information like referral codes, referral links, and rewards.

Our mobile SDK has been designed to be part of a hybrid mobile device implementation. Client-side SDK elements are used in conjunction with server-side REST API functionality for the most complete, and secure, solution.

The nature of the hybrid combination of mobile client and server for our SDK means that there are certain limitations to be aware of. Please read through the documentation for the SDK carefully to understand the capabilities of the SDK.

## Next Steps

Our [Android SDK](https://github.com/saasquatch/squatch-android) provides a walkthrough of installing the Android SDK as well as detailed explanations of common usage cases with code examples.

## Additional Resources

Our SDK can also be used with our [Branch integration](https://integrations.impact.com/integration-guides/for-brands/advocate/mobile-options-for-advocate/branch-metrics-for-advocate/integrate-with-branch-for-advocate-programs) to provide an exceptional first-time user experience with a personalized landing page.

The GitHub repository for the [Android SDK](https://github.com/saasquatch/squatch-android) is also available for reference.

We also have a [Java SDK](https://github.com/saasquatch/saasquatch-java-sdk) to provide additional context.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://integrations.impact.com/integration-guides/for-brands/advocate/mobile-options-for-advocate/android-sdk-overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
