|

|

In this guide we'll explain how to use feature toggles in an Android application using Unleash's [Android Proxy SDK](https://github.com/Unleash/unleash-android-proxy-sdk) and the [Unleash Proxy](https://github.com/Unleash/unleash-proxy).

|

The Android proxy SDK requires Unleash Proxy to function. You'll need the proxy's URL and a configured proxy secret. Refer to the [proxy documentation](/sdks/unleash-proxy) for how to set it up and [how to configure the proxy secrets](/sdks/unleash-proxy#configuration-variables).

Since the proxy works by evaluating all feature toggles server side and returning the evaluated toggles back to the client, we'll need to configure the context to send to the proxy for evaluation.

# Step 4: Configure the Client
|
||||
### Step 4: Configure the Client
|
||||
|
||||
Configuring the client includes adding the URL for your proxy host, your proxy secret and deciding how you want to load the toggle status. As of v0.1 the SDK supports an automatic polling with an adjustable poll period or loading the state from disk. Most users will probably use the polling client, but it's nice to know that you can instantiate your client without actually needing Internet if you choose loading from File
|
||||
To create a client, use the `UnleashConfig.newBuilder` method. When building a configuration, you'll need to provide it with:
|
||||
- `proxyUrl`: the URL your proxy is available at
|
||||
- `clientSecret`: the [proxy secret](/sdks/unleash-proxy#configuration-variables) you wish to use
|
||||
- `pollMode`: how you want to load the toggle status

### Step 6: Use the feature toggle
|
||||
|
||||
Now that we have initialized the proxy SDK we can start using feature toggles defined in Unleash in our application. To achieve this we have the “isEnabled” method available, which will allow us to check the value of a feature toggle. This method will return true or false based on whether the feature should be enabled or disabled for the current state.

## Updates

When using the AutoPoll mode you are able to pass in a listener which will get notified everytime our toggles changes, allowing you to recheck your toggles.
