# Step 1. Adding core dependencies

[icon: circle-check, set=far]PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud [icon: circle-check, set=far]PingAM [icon: android, set=fab]Android

These dependencies provide core support for social sign-on. These are the minimum required dependencies for using the redirect method to send users to the IdP for authentication.

|   | If you want to use an IdP's native libraries for an embedded experience you can add additional dependencies and configuration in an optional step later. |

To add the core dependencies for social sign-on:

1. In the **Project** tree view of your Android Studio project, open the `build.gradle.kts` file.

2. In the `dependencies` section, add the correct entries for your server:

   ```gradle
   // External IdP dependencies for Journeys
   implementation("com.pingidentity.sdks:journey:2.0.0")
   implementation("com.pingidentity.sdks:external-idp:2.0.0")
   ```
