Question

What is the difference between Syncano class and SyncanoDashboard in declaration like that :

SyncanoDashboard syncano = new SyncanoDashboard(API_KEY, INSTANCE_NAME);

and

Syncano syncano = new Syncano(API_KEY, INSTANCE_NAME);

??

Answer 1

Syncano Dashboard class is used to do all the actions that require Admin access level and your Account Key (you can find account key using this link: https://dashboard.syncano.io/#/account/authentication, see attached screenshot Dashboard Account Key)

So using Syncano class, you can add objects, update them, remove them, login/sign up your users, run public webhooks etc.

Using SyncanoDashboard class, you can do other things you usually would use Dashboard for - adding a new class, adding a Script, Trigger, Schedule etc - things that require Admin access, not just standard API Key.

Easy to check what eachlooking into source code:

• SyncanoDashboard.java - https://github.com/Syncano/syncano-android/blob/master/library/src/main/java/com/syncano/library/SyncanoDashboard.java
• Syncano.java - https://github.com/Syncano/syncano-android/blob/master/library/src/main/java/com/syncano/library/Syncano.java )
