How to integrate in your app

Prerequisites

• Your app has a minimum sdk level of 10 (Android 2.3.3+).
• Contact us to qualify for integration.
• You registered your app on the https://42matters.com/profiler/apps/, and you have its app id.
• The app's status is ON.

Integrate the library

1. Download and reference it or put the following repository and dependency in your build.gradle:

   repositories {
       maven {
           url "http://dl.bintray.com/42matters/android"
       }
   }
   
   dependencies {
       compile 'com.core42matters.android:profiler:1.2.4@jar'
   }

2. Configure your app's AndroidManifest.xml like this

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <manifest ... >
       ...
       <!-- Permissions -->
       <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
       <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
   
       <application ... >
           ...
           <!-- You app id  -->
           <meta-data
           android:name="42:appid"
           android:value="YOUR_APP_ID" />
       </application>
   
   </manifest>

   Replace YOUR_APP_ID with the app id you get on your app page

3. If you use proguard, add these into your proguard-rules.pro if your app does not use Google Play Services

   -dontwarn com.google.android.gms.**

4. Call Profiler.init in the onCreate of starting activity or the onCreate of your Application context.

   import com.core42matters.android.profiler.Profiler;
   ...
   
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       ...
       Profiler.init(this);
       ...
   }                    

   Start up your app, and you would see successful hits in the dashboard.

   After you integrated and see successful hits, please contact us for the next steps.

Privacy

You need to provide a preference in the default shared preferences for users to opt out at any time. The default key for the preference is com.core42matters.android.profiler.personalized. The github sample also shows how to implement this in the preferences. Furthermore you need to state the SDK and it's usage in your data privacy policy.

If you have any questions when implementing these, feel free to contact us.
