...
When using Gumband you should only ever call new Gumband(...) once. This is because only one SDK should is allowed to connect to a Gumband Exhibit in the cloud at a time. Creating multiple new Gumband() calls will violate this behavior invariant and result in a message like the one below.
...
The Solution
If you are feeling like you need to call new Gumband() more than once in your code you can prevent this error by using a singleton wrapping class.
...
Creating a singleton class requires creating a static class property, and then setting the value of that property to this. Then when the constructor runs you check for that static property first and try to return that instead of a whole new classreturn it if it has already been created.
Once you implement this pattern you can feel free to run new GumbandServiceGumbandSDKWrapper() (your wrapper class) multiple times in your code to get reference to any properties and methods you desire without duplicating calls to new Gumband().
