Create the AppFlags Client​

To use AppFlags in your Java application, create an instance of AppFlagsClient as shown below:

import io.appflags.sdk.AppFlagsClient;

public class MyClass {

    private AppFlagsClient appFlagsClient;

    public MyClass() {
         appFlagsClient = new AppFlagsClient("APPFLAGS_SDK_KEY");
    }
}

Client initialization​

Creating the AppFlagsClient will take around 100ms as it downloads your feature flag configuration from the AppFlags edge servers. Once created, AppFlagsClient is initialized and will be able to locally evaluate feature flags.

Realtime updates​

The client will listen for updates and immediately update your feature flag configuration when you make any changes to your feature flags in the AppFlags dashboard.
