submitJob method

Copy this code and replace sections marked with <>

String partnerId = "<Put your partner ID here>";
String defaultCallback = "<Put your default callback url here>";
String apiKey = "<Put your API key here>";
String sidServer = "< 0 || 1 >";  // Use '0' for the sandbox server and '1' for production

IDApi connection = new IDApi(partnerId, apiKey, sidServer);

// Create required tracking parameters
Map<String, Object> optionalInfo = new HashMap(); // map of optional parameters partner uses to track jobs. can be left empty
PartnerParams params = new PartnerParams(JobType.ENHANCED_KYC, "<unique ID for user>", "< unique job ID >", optionalInfo);

// Create ID number info
IdInfo idInfo = new IdInfo("< firstName >",
    "< middleName >",
    "< lastName >",
    "< 2 letter country code >",
    "< id type >",
    "< valid id number >",
    "< date of birth yyyy-mm-dd >",
    "< phone number >"
);

// Options for the job
boolean returnJobStatus = false; // Set to true if you want to get
// the job result in sync (in addition to the result been sent to
// your callback). If set to false, result is sent to callback url only
boolean returnHistory = false; // Set to true to receive all of the
// updates you would otherwise have received in your callback as
// opposed to only the final result. You must set return_job_status
// to true to use this flag.
boolean returnImageLinks = false; // Set to true to receive links to
// the selfie and the photo it was compared to. You must set
// return_job_status to true to use this flag.
String callBackUrl = "< optional callback url to use for this job only >";
Options options = new Options(returnHistory, returnImageLinks, returnJobStatus, callBackUrl);

// Submit the job
JobStatusResponse response = connection.submitJob(params, idInfo, options);
