# Card Element

Learn how to integrate the Card Element widget for accepting card payments in your Android app using Juspay Hyperswitch SDK.

**Purpose:** Card payments with Juspay Hyperswitch

**Add Card Widget to Layout**

```xml
<io.hyperswitch.view.BasePaymentWidget
    android:id="@+id/cardElement"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:paymentMethod="card" />

<Button
    android:id="@+id/confirmButton"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Pay with Card" />
```

**Initialize Card Launcher**

```kotlin
private lateinit var cardPaymentLauncher: UnifiedPaymentLauncher

private fun setupCardPayment() {
    cardPaymentLauncher = UnifiedPaymentLauncher.createCardLauncher(
        activity = this,
        resultCallback = ::onPaymentResult
    )
}
```

**Handle Card Payment**

```kotlin
private fun processCardPayment() {
    val cardInputWidget: BasePaymentWidget = findViewById(R.id.cardElement)
    val params: PaymentMethodCreateParams = cardInputWidget.paymentMethodCreateParams
    val confirmParams = ConfirmPaymentIntentParams.createWithPaymentMethodCreateParams(
        params,
        paymentIntentClientSecret
    )

    if (::cardPaymentLauncher.isInitialized) {
        cardPaymentLauncher.confirmCardPayment(confirmParams)
    } else {
        Toast.makeText(this, "SDK is not initialized", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
    }
}

// Handle card payment results
private fun onPaymentResult(paymentResult: PaymentResult) {
    when (paymentResult) {
        is PaymentResult.Completed -> {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Payment completed: ${paymentResult.data}", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }
        is PaymentResult.Canceled -> {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Payment canceled: ${paymentResult.data}", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }
        is PaymentResult.Failed -> {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Payment failed: ${paymentResult.throwable.message}", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }
    }
}
```

#### Best Practices

**Error Handling**

Always check if launchers are initialized before using them:

```kotlin
if (::cardPaymentLauncher.isInitialized) {
    cardPaymentLauncher.confirmCardPayment(confirmParams)
} else {
    Toast.makeText(this, "SDK is not initialized", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.hyperswitch.io/integration-guide/payment-experience/pay-then-vault/mobile/android/widgets/card-element.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
