In-app Events for Android apps
Make sure that you have integrated Apptics in your project, refer to the integration guide.
Add the analytics SDK to your app
- Declare analytics dependency using Apptics BoM.
dependencies { // ... // Apptics BoM, latest version is mentioned in the integration guide. implementation platform('com.zoho.apptics:apptics-bom:[latest-version]') // Since BoM version is specified, no need to explicitly specify the dependency version. implementation 'com.zoho.apptics:apptics-analytics' }
- Alternatively, if you do not use the Apptics BoM, you can directly declare the analytics dependency with its version.
dependencies { // Have to explicitly mention the version, if you are not using BoM. // latest version is mentioned in the integration guide. implementation 'com.zoho.apptics:apptics-analytics:[latest-version]' }
Note: It is recommend to use Apptics BoM to avoid unnecessary compatibility issues.
- Initialize analytics in application onCreate() method.
Apptics.init(this)
Logging events
You can log events only after configuring them in the Apptics web console. Events that are logged without configuring in the web console will not be tracked. Refer to the user guide to configure events in the Apptics web console.
Logging events using generated enums
- After configuring the required events on the web, rebuild the android studio project (Build -> Rebuild). Upon rebuilding the android studio project, the configured events in the web will be generated as enums in ZAEvents class.
Note: Rebuild the project again, if you have updated the events in the web console for the enum classes to reflect those changes.
- Once events are configured and rebuilding the project, you can start logging events using the addEvents method.
AppticsEvents.addEvent(ZAEvents.EventGroup.EventName)
- Event can also be logged with additional information as JSONObject/HashMap<String, String> using custom properties param.
val props = JSONObject() props.put("some key", "some value") AppticsEvents.addEvent(ZAEvents.EventGroup.EventName, props)
Logging events using strings
Logging events using strings is recommended for multi-module projects, where you need to log events from modules other than the app module.
- To enable logging events using string, add the below snippet in app-level build.gradle.
apptics { supportEventAsStrings = ["default" : true] }
- Initialise AppticsEventsIdMapping in application onCreate after intializing AppticsAnalytics.
AppticsAnalytics.init(this) AppticsEventsIdMapping().init()
- Use addEvent method to log string events as configured in the web.
AppticsEvents.addEvent("Event_Name", "Event_Group")
- Event can also be logged with additional information as JSONObject/HashMap<String, String> using custom properties param.
val props = JSONObject() props.put("some key", "some value") AppticsEvents.addEvent("Event_Name", "Event_Group", props)
Note: Event name and Event group name provided in the addEvent method should be the same as configured in the web console.
- Events can be logged either as enums or strings. You cannot use both in the same project. The end result and reports in the web console will be the same for both enum and etring events, only the implementation differs.
