# Android

To start using Oz Android SDK, follow the steps below.

1. Embed Oz Android SDK into your project as described [here](https://doc.ozforensics.com/oz-knowledge/guides/developer-guide/sdk/oz-mobile-sdk/android/adding-sdk-to-a-project).
2. Get a trial license for SDK on our [website](https://ozforensics.com/developers/try_mobile_sdk) or a production license by [email](mailto:info@ozforensics.com). We'll need your `application id`. Add the license to your project as described [here](https://doc.ozforensics.com/oz-knowledge/guides/developer-guide/sdk/oz-mobile-sdk/android/getting-a-license-for-android-sdk).
3. Connect SDK to API as described [here](https://doc.ozforensics.com/oz-knowledge/guides/developer-guide/sdk/oz-mobile-sdk/android/connecting-sdk-to-api). This step is optional, as this connection is required only when you need to process data on a server.
4. Capture videos using methods described [here](https://doc.ozforensics.com/oz-knowledge/guides/developer-guide/sdk/oz-mobile-sdk/android/capturing-videos). You'll send them for analysis afterward.
5. Analyze media you've taken at the previous step. The process of checking liveness and face biometry is described [here](https://doc.ozforensics.com/oz-knowledge/guides/developer-guide/sdk/oz-mobile-sdk/android/checking-liveness-and-face-biometry).
6. If you want to customize the look-and-feel of Oz Android SDK, please refer to [this section](https://doc.ozforensics.com/oz-knowledge/guides/developer-guide/sdk/oz-mobile-sdk/android/customizing-android-sdk).
