Example app

There is an example app inside the example directory. You can use the example app to see how the Adjust SDK can be integrated.

Basic integration

These are the minimal steps required to integrate the Adjust SDK into your Adobe AIR project.

Get the SDK

Download the latest version from our releases page.

Add the SDK to your project

Add the downloaded Adjust SDK ANE file to your app. After this, add the Adjust SDK extension to your app's descriptor file:

<extensions>
    <!-- ... --->
    <extensionID>com.adjust.sdk</extensionID>
    <!-- ... --->
</extensions>

Integrate the SDK into your app

To start tracking with Adjust, you first need to initialize the SDK. Add the following code to your main Sprite.

import com.adjust.sdk.Adjust;
import com.adjust.sdk.AdjustConfig;
import com.adjust.sdk.Environment;
import com.adjust.sdk.LogLevel;

public class Example extends Sprite {
    public function Example() {
      var appToken:String = "{YourAppToken}";
      var environment:String = Environment.SANDBOX;
      
        var adjustConfig:AdjustConfig = new AdjustConfig(appToken, environment);
        adjustConfig.setLogLevel(LogLevel.VERBOSE);

        Adjust.start(adjustConfig);
    }
}

Replace {YourAppToken} with your app token. You can find this in your dashboard.

Depending on whether you build your app for testing or for production, you must set environment with one of these values:

var environment:String = Environment.SANDBOX;
var environment:String = Environment.PRODUCTION;

Important: This value should be set to Environment.SANDBOX if and only if you or someone else is testing your app. Make sure to set the environment to Environment.PRODUCTION just before you publish the app. Set it back to Environment.SANDBOX when you start developing and testing it again.

We use this environment to distinguish between real traffic and test traffic from test devices. It is very important that you keep this value meaningful at all times! This is especially important if you are tracking revenue.

Adjust logging

You can increase or decrease the amount of logs you see in tests by calling setLogLevel on your AdjustConfig instance with one of the following parameters:

adjustConfig.setLogLevel(LogLevel.VERBOSE);     // enable all logging
adjustConfig.setLogLevel(LogLevel.DEBUG);       // enable more logging
adjustConfig.setLogLevel(LogLevel.INFO);        // the default
adjustConfig.setLogLevel(LogLevel.WARN);        // disable info logging
adjustConfig.setLogLevel(LogLevel.ERROR);       // disable warnings as well
adjustConfig.setLogLevel(LogLevel.ASSERT);      // disable errors as well
adjustConfig.setLogLevel(LogLevel.SUPPRESS);    // disable all log output

Android permissions

In order to use your Adobe AIR app for Android with our SDK, you must add needed permissions to the Android manifest file. In order to edit your Android manifest file, you need to perform following steps:

Open the application descriptor file, which is typically located at src/{YourProjectName}-app.xml.
Search for the <android> tag.
Edit between the <manifest>tag.

You will need to add following permissions:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE" />

Google Play Services

Since 1st August 2014, all apps in the Google Play Store must use the [Google Advertising ID][google_ad_id] to uniquely identify devices. To allow the Adjust SDK to use the Google Advertising ID, you must integrate the Google Play Services.

In case you don't already have Google Play Services added to your app (as part of some other ANE or in some other way) you can use Google Play Services ANE, which is provided by Adjust and is built to fit the needs of our SDK. You can find our Google Play Services ANE as part of release on our releases page.

You will need to import the downloaded ANE into your app, and the Google Play Services needed by our SDK will be added. After this, add the Google Play Services extension to app descriptor file:

<extensions>
    <!-- ... --->
    <extensionID>com.adjust.gps</extensionID>
    <!-- ... --->
</extensions>

After integrating Google Play Services into your app, add the following lines to your app's Android manifest file as part of the <manifest> tag body:

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
    android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"/>

Install referrer

In order to correctly attribute an install of your Android app to its source, Adjust needs information about the install referrer. This can be obtained by using the Google Install Referrer API or by catching the Google Play Store intent with a broadcast receiver.

Important: The Google Install Referrer API is newly introduced by Google with the express purpose of providing a more reliable and secure way of obtaining install referrer information and to aid attribution providers in the fight against click injection. It is strongly advised that you support this in your application. The Google Play Store intent is a less secure way of obtaining install referrer information. It will continue to exist in parallel with the new Google Install Referrer API temporarily, but it is set to be deprecated in future.

Google Install Referrer API

Adjust provides an Install Referrer ANE which is built to fit the needs of our SDK. You can find our Google Install Referrer API as part of the release on our releases page.

You will need to import the downloaded ANE into your app. After that, add the ANE extension to your app's XML descriptor file:

<extensions>
    <!-- ... --->
    <extensionID>com.adjust.installref</extensionID>
    <!-- ... --->
</extensions>

Also, make sure that you have added Android permission to allow the install referrer ANE to fetch install referrer data:

<android> 
    <manifestAdditions> 
        <![CDATA[ 
            <manifest>
                <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE" />
                <application>
                    <! -- ... -- >
                </application>
            </manifest>
        ]]> 
    </manifestAdditions> 
</android>

Google Play Store intent

The Google Play Store INSTALL_REFERRER intent should be captured with a broadcast receiver. Please, make sure to add Adjust broadcast receiver to your Android app's manifest file:

<android>
    <manifestAdditions>
        <![CDATA[ 
        <-- ... -->
            <receiver android:name="com.adjust.sdk.AdjustReferrerReceiver" 
                      android:permission="android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES"
                      android:exported="true" >
                <intent-filter>
                    <action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER" />
                </intent-filter>
            </receiver>
        <-- ... --. 
        ]]> 
    </manifestAdditions> 
</android>

Also, in case you are using your custom broadcast receiver, please make a call to the Adjust broadcast receiver as described in here.

Huawei Referrer API

As of v4.21.0, the Adjust SDK supports install tracking on Huawei devices with Huawei App Gallery version 10.4 and higher. No additional integration steps are needed to start using the Huawei Referrer API.

Proguard settings

If you are using Proguard, add these lines to your Proguard file:

-keep public class com.adjust.sdk.** { *; }
-keep class com.google.android.gms.common.ConnectionResult {
    int SUCCESS;
}
-keep class com.google.android.gms.ads.identifier.AdvertisingIdClient {
    com.google.android.gms.ads.identifier.AdvertisingIdClient$Info getAdvertisingIdInfo(android.content.Context);
}
-keep class com.google.android.gms.ads.identifier.AdvertisingIdClient$Info {
    java.lang.String getId();
    boolean isLimitAdTrackingEnabled();
}
-keep public class com.android.installreferrer.** { *; }

If you are not targeting the Google Play Store, you can remove the com.google.android.gms rules.

Additional features

You can take advantage of the following features once the Adjust SDK is integrated into your project.

AppTrackingTransparency framework

Note: This feature exists only in iOS platform.

For each package sent, the Adjust backend receives one of the following four (4) states of consent for access to app-related data that can be used for tracking the user or the device:

Authorized
Denied
Not Determined
Restricted

After a device receives an authorization request to approve access to app-related data, which is used for user device tracking, the returned status will either be Authorized or Denied.

Before a device receives an authorization request for access to app-related data, which is used for tracking the user or device, the returned status will be Not Determined.

If authorization to use app tracking data is restricted, the returned status will be Restricted.

The SDK has a built-in mechanism to receive an updated status after a user responds to the pop-up dialog, in case you don't want to customize your displayed dialog pop-up. To conveniently and efficiently communicate the new state of consent to the backend, Adjust SDK offers a wrapper around the app tracking authorization method described in the following chapter, App-tracking authorization wrapper.

App-tracking authorisation wrapper

Note: This feature exists only in iOS platform.

Adjust SDK offers the possibility to use it for requesting user authorization in accessing their app-related data. Adjust SDK has a wrapper built on top of the requestTrackingAuthorizationWithCompletionHandler: method, where you can as well define the callback method to get information about a user's choice. Also, with the use of this wrapper, as soon as a user responds to the pop-up dialog, it's then communicated back using your callback method. The SDK will also inform the backend of the user's choice. The NSUInteger value will be delivered via your callback method with the following meaning:

0: ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined
1: ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatusRestricted
2: ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatusDenied
3: ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatusAuthorized

To use this wrapper, you can call it as such:

import com.adjust.sdk.Adjust;
import com.adjust.sdk.AdjustConfig;
import com.adjust.sdk.Environment;
import com.adjust.sdk.LogLevel;

public class Example extends Sprite {
    public function Example() {
      var appToken:String = "{YourAppToken}";
      var environment:String = Environment.SANDBOX;
      
        var adjustConfig:AdjustConfig = new AdjustConfig(appToken, environment);
        adjustConfig.setLogLevel(LogLevel.VERBOSE);

        Adjust.start(adjustConfig);

        Adjust.requestTrackingAuthorizationWithCompletionHandler(authorizationStatusDelegate);
    }
    
    // ...
    
    private static function authorizationStatusDelegate(status:String):void {
        trace("Status = " + status);
    }
}

SKAdNetwork framework

Note: This feature exists only in iOS platform.

If you have implemented the Adjust iOS SDK v4.22.0 or above and your app is running on iOS 14, the communication with SKAdNetwork will be set on by default, although you can choose to turn it off. When set on, Adjust automatically registers for SKAdNetwork attribution when the SDK is initialized. If events are set up in the Adjust dashboard to receive conversion values, the Adjust backend sends the conversion value data to the SDK. The SDK then sets the conversion value. After Adjust receives the SKAdNetwork callback data, it is then displayed in the dashboard.

In case you don't want the Adjust SDK to automatically communicate with SKAdNetwork, you can disable that by calling the following method on configuration object:

adjustConfig.deactivateSKAdNetworkHandling();

Event tracking

You can tell Adjust about every event you want to track. Suppose you want to track every tap on a button. Simply create a new event token in your dashboard. Let's say that event token is abc123. You can add the following line in your button’s click handler method to track the click:

var adjustEvent:AdjustEvent = new AdjustEvent("abc123");
Adjust.trackEvent(adjustEvent);

Revenue tracking

If your users can generate revenue by tapping on advertisements or making in-app purchases, then you can track those revenues with events. Let's say a tap is worth €0.01. You could track the revenue event like this:

var adjustEvent:AdjustEvent = new AdjustEvent("abc123");
adjustEvent.setRevenue(0.01, "EUR");
Adjust.trackEvent(adjustEvent);

When you set a currency token, Adjust will automatically convert the incoming revenue into a reporting revenue of your choice. Read more about currency conversion here.

Revenue deduplication

You can also add an optional transaction ID to avoid tracking duplicate revenues. The last ten transaction IDs are remembered, and revenue events with duplicate transaction IDs are skipped. This is especially useful for in-app purchase tracking. See the example below.

If you want to track in-app purchases, please make sure to call trackEvent only if the transaction is finished and the item is purchased. That way you can avoid tracking revenue that is not actually being generated.

var adjustEvent:AdjustEvent = new AdjustEvent("abc123");
adjustEvent.setRevenue(0.01, "EUR");
adjustEvent.setTransactionId("transactionId");
Adjust.trackEvent(adjustEvent);

Note: Transaction ID is the iOS term; the unique identifier for successfully completed Android in-app purchases is named Order ID.

In-App Purchase verification

In-app purchase verification can be done with the Adobe AIR purchase SDK, which is currently being developed and will soon be publicly available. For more information, please contact [email protected].

Callback parameters

You can also register a callback URL for that event in your dashboard, and we will send a GET request to that URL whenever the event gets tracked. In that case, you can also put some key-value pairs in an object and pass it to the trackEvent method. We will then append these named parameters to your callback URL.

For example, suppose you have registered the URL http://www.adjust.com/callback for your event with event token abc123 and execute the following lines:

var adjustEvent:AdjustEvent = new AdjustEvent("abc123");
adjustEvent.addCallbackParameter("key", "value");
adjustEvent.addCallbackParameter("foo", "bar");
Adjust.trackEvent(adjustEvent);

In this case we would track the event and send a request to:

http://www.adjust.com/callback?key=value&foo=bar

It should be mentioned that we support a variety of placeholders like {idfa} for iOS or {gps_adid} for Android that can be used as parameter values. In the resulting callback, the {idfa} placeholder would be replaced with the ID for Advertisers of the current device for iOS and the {gps_adid} would be replaced with the Google Advertising ID of the current device for Android. Also note that we don't store any of your custom parameters, but only append them to your callbacks. If you haven't registered a callback for an event, these parameters won't even be read.

You can read more about using URL callbacks, including a full list of available values, in our callbacks guide.

Partner parameters

You can also add parameters for integrations that have been activated in your Adjust dashboard that can be transmitted to network partners.

This works similarly to the callback parameters mentioned above, but can be added by calling the addPartnerParameter method on your AdjustEvent instance.

var adjustEvent:AdjustEvent = new AdjustEvent("abc123");
adjustEvent.addPartnerParameter("key", "value");
adjustEvent.addPartnerParameter("foo", "bar");
Adjust.trackEvent(adjustEvent);

You can read more about special partners and these integrations in our guide to special partners.

Callback identifier

You can also add custom string identifier to each event you want to track. This identifier will later be reported in event success and/or event failure callbacks to enable you to keep track on which event was successfully tracked or not. You can set this identifier by calling the setCallbackId method on your AdjustEvent instance:

var adjustEvent:AdjustEvent = new AdjustEvent("abc123");
adjustEvent.setCallbackId("Your-Custom-Id");
Adjust.trackEvent(adjustEvent);

Session parameters

Some parameters are saved to be sent in every event and session of the Adjust SDK. Once you have added any of these parameters, you don't need to add them every time, since they will be saved locally. If you add the same parameter twice, there will be no effect.

These session parameters can be called before the Adjust SDK is launched to make sure they are sent even on install. If you need to send them with an install, but can only obtain the needed values after launch, it's possible to delay the first launch of the Adjust SDK to allow this behaviour.

Session callback parameters

The same callback parameters that are registered for events can be also saved to be sent in every event or session of the Adjust SDK.

The session callback parameters have a similar interface to the event callback parameters. Instead of adding the key and its value to an event, it's added through a call to method addSessionCallbackParameter of the Adjust instance:

Adjust.addSessionCallbackParameter("foo", "bar");

The session callback parameters will be merged with the callback parameters added to an event. The callback parameters added to an event take precedence over the session callback parameters. Meaning that, when adding a callback parameter to an event with the same key to one added from the session, the value that prevails is the callback parameter added to the event.

It's possible to remove a specific session callback parameter by passing the desired key to the method removeSessionCallbackParameter of the Adjust instance.

Adjust.removeSessionCallbackParameter("foo");

If you wish to remove all keys and values from the session callback parameters, you can reset it with the method resetSessionCallbackParameters of the Adjust instance.

Adjust.resetSessionCallbackParameters();

Session partner parameters

In the same way that there are session callback parameters that are sent for every event or session of the Adjust SDK, there are also session partner parameters.

These will be transmitted to network partners, for the integrations that have been activated in your Adjust dashboard.

The session partner parameters have a similar interface to the event partner parameters. Instead of adding the key and its value to an event, it's added through a call to method addSessionPartnerParameter of the Adjust instance:

Adjust.addSessionPartnerParameter("foo", "bar");

The session partner parameters will be merged with the partner parameters added to an event. The partner parameters added to an event take precedence over the session partner parameters. Meaning that, when adding a partner parameter to an event with the same key to one added from the session, the value that prevails is the partner parameter added to the event.

It's possible to remove a specific session partner parameter by passing the desired key to the method removeSessionPartnerParameter of the Adjust instance.

Adjust.removeSessionPartnerParameter("foo");

If you wish to remove all keys and values from the session partner parameters, you can reset them with the method resetSessionPartnerParameters of the Adjust instance.

Adjust.resetSessionPartnerParameters();

Delay start

Delaying the start of the Adjust SDK allows your app some time to obtain session parameters, such as unique identifiers, to be sent on install.

Set the initial delay time in seconds with the setDelayStart field of the AdjustConfig instance:

config.setDelayStart(5.5);

In this case, this will make the Adjust SDK not send the initial install session, or any event created, for 5.5 seconds. After this time period, or if you call the method sendFirstPackages() of the Adjust instance in the meantime, every session parameter will be added to the delayed install session and events, and the Adjust SDK will resume as usual.

The maximum delay start time of the Adjust SDK is 10 seconds.

Attribution callback

You can register a callback to be notified of tracker attribution changes. Due to the different sources considered for attribution, this information can not be provided synchronously. Follow these steps to implement the optional callback in your application:

Create void method which receives parameter of type AdjustAttribution.
After creating instance of AdjustConfig object, call the adjustConfig.setAttributionCallbackDelegate with the previously created method.

The callback function will get called when the SDK receives final attribution data. Within the callback function you have access to the attribution parameter. Here is a quick summary of its properties:

var trackerToken:String the tracker token of the current attribution.
var trackerName:String the tracker name of the current attribution.
var network:String the network grouping level of the current attribution.
var campaign:String the campaign grouping level of the current attribution.
var adgroup:String the ad group grouping level of the current attribution.
var creative:String the creative grouping level of the current attribution.
var clickLabel:String the click label of the current attribution.
var adid:Stirng the Adjust device identifier.

import com.adjust.sdk.Adjust;
import com.adjust.sdk.AdjustConfig;
import com.adjust.sdk.Environment;
import com.adjust.sdk.LogLevel;
import com.adjust.sdk.AdjustAttribution;

public class Example extends Sprite {
    public function Example() {
      var appToken:String = "{YourAppToken}";
      var environment:String = Environment.SANDBOX;
      
        var adjustConfig:AdjustConfig = new AdjustConfig(appToken, environment);
        adjustConfig.setLogLevel(LogLevel.VERBOSE);
        adjustConfig.setAttributionCallbackDelegate(attributionCallbackDelegate);

        Adjust.start(adjustConfig);
    }
    
    // ...
    
    private static function attributionCallbackDelegate(attribution:AdjustAttribution):void {
        trace("Tracker token = " + attribution.getTrackerToken());
        trace("Tracker name = " + attribution.getTrackerName());
        trace("Campaign = " + attribution.getCampaign());
        trace("Network = " + attribution.getNetwork());
        trace("Creative = " + attribution.getCreative());
        trace("Adgroup = " + attribution.getAdGroup());
        trace("Click label = " + attribution.getClickLabel());
        trace("Adid = " + attribution.getAdid());
    }
}

Please make sure to consider applicable attribution data policies.

Session and event callbacks

You can register a callback to be notified of successful and failed tracked events and/or sessions.

Follow the same steps to implement the following callback function for successfully tracked events:

import com.adjust.sdk.Adjust;
import com.adjust.sdk.AdjustConfig;
import com.adjust.sdk.Environment;
import com.adjust.sdk.LogLevel;
import com.adjust.sdk.AdjustEventSuccess;

public class Example extends Sprite {
    public function Example() {
      var appToken:String = "{YourAppToken}";
      var environment:String = Environment.SANDBOX;
      
        var adjustConfig:AdjustConfig = new AdjustConfig(appToken, environment);
        adjustConfig.setLogLevel(LogLevel.VERBOSE);
        adjustConfig.setEventTrackingSucceededDelegate(eventTrackingSucceededDelegate);

        Adjust.start(adjustConfig);
    }
    
    // ...
    
    private static function eventTrackingSucceededDelegate(eventSuccess:AdjustEventSuccess):void {
        trace("Event tracking succeeded");
        trace("Message = " + eventSuccess.getMessage());
        trace("Timestamp = " + eventSuccess.getTimeStamp());
        trace("Adid = " + eventSuccess.getAdid());
        trace("Event Token = " + eventSuccess.getEventToken());
        trace("Callback Id = " + eventSuccess.getCallbackId());
        trace("Json Response = " + eventSuccess.getJsonResponse());
    }
}

The following callback function for failed tracked events:

import com.adjust.sdk.Adjust;
import com.adjust.sdk.AdjustConfig;
import com.adjust.sdk.Environment;
import com.adjust.sdk.LogLevel;
import com.adjust.sdk.AdjustEventFailure;

public class Example extends Sprite {
    public function Example() {
      var appToken:String = "{YourAppToken}";
      var environment:String = Environment.SANDBOX;
      
        var adjustConfig:AdjustConfig = new AdjustConfig(appToken, environment);
        adjustConfig.setLogLevel(LogLevel.VERBOSE);
        adjustConfig.setEventTrackingFailedDelegate(eventTrackingFailedDelegate);

        Adjust.start(adjustConfig);
    }
    
    // ...
    
    private static function eventTrackingFailedDelegate(eventFail:AdjustEventFailure):void {
        trace("Event tracking failed");
        trace("Message = " + eventFail.getMessage());
        trace("Timestamp = " + eventFail.getTimeStamp());
        trace("Adid = " + eventFail.getAdid());
        trace("Event Token = " + eventFail.getEventToken());
        trace("Callback Id = " + eventFail.getCallbackId());
        trace("Will Retry = " + eventFail.getWillRetry());
        trace("Json Response = " + eventFail.getJsonResponse());
    }
}

For successfully tracked sessions:

import com.adjust.sdk.Adjust;
import com.adjust.sdk.AdjustConfig;
import com.adjust.sdk.Environment;
import com.adjust.sdk.LogLevel;
import com.adjust.sdk.AdjustSessionSuccess;

public class Example extends Sprite {
    public function Example() {
      var appToken:String = "{YourAppToken}";
      var environment:String = Environment.SANDBOX;
      
        var adjustConfig:AdjustConfig = new AdjustConfig(appToken, environment);
        adjustConfig.setLogLevel(LogLevel.VERBOSE);
        adjustConfig.setSessionTrackingSucceededDelegate(sessionTrackingSucceededDelegate);

        Adjust.start(adjustConfig);
    }
    
    // ...
    
    private static function sessionTrackingSucceededDelegate(sessionSuccess:AdjustSessionSuccess):void {
        trace("Session tracking succeeded");
        trace("Message = " + sessionSuccess.getMessage());
        trace("Timestamp = " + sessionSuccess.getTimeStamp());
        trace("Adid = " + sessionSuccess.getAdid());
        trace("Json Response = " + sessionSuccess.getJsonResponse());
    }
}

And for failed tracked sessions:

import com.adjust.sdk.Adjust;
import com.adjust.sdk.AdjustConfig;
import com.adjust.sdk.Environment;
import com.adjust.sdk.LogLevel;
import com.adjust.sdk.AdjustSessionFailure;

public class Example extends Sprite {
    public function Example() {
      var appToken:String = "{YourAppToken}";
      var environment:String = Environment.SANDBOX;
      
        var adjustConfig:AdjustConfig = new AdjustConfig(appToken, environment);
        adjustConfig.setLogLevel(LogLevel.VERBOSE);
        adjustConfig.setSessionTrackingFailedDelegate(sessionTrackingFailedDelegate);

        Adjust.start(adjustConfig);
    }
    
    // ...
    
    private static function sessionTrackingFailedDelegate(sessionFail:AdjustSessionFailure):void {
        trace("Session tracking failed");
        trace("Message = " + sessionFail.getMessage());
        trace("Timestamp = " + sessionFail.getTimeStamp());
        trace("Adid = " + sessionFail.getAdid());
        trace("Will Retry = " + sessionFail.getWillRetry());
        trace("Json Response = " + sessionFail.getJsonResponse());
    }
}

The callback functions will be called after the SDK tries to send a package to the server. Within the callback, you have access to a response data object specifically for the callback. Here is a quick summary of the session response data properties:

var message:String the message from the server or the error logged by the SDK.
var timestamp:String timestamp from the server.
var adid:String a unique device identifier provided by Adjust.
var jsonResponse:String the JSON object with the response from the server.

Both event response data objects contain:

var eventToken:String the event token, if the package tracked was an event.
var callbackId:String the custom defined callback ID set on event object.

And both event and session failed objects also contain:

var willRetry:Boolean; indicates there will be an attempt to resend the package at a later time.

Disable tracking

You can disable the Adjust SDK from tracking by invoking the method setEnabled of the Adjust instance with the enabled parameter set as false. This setting is remembered between sessions, but it can only be activated after the first session.

Adjust.setEnabled(false);

You can verify if the Adjust SDK is currently active with the method isEnabled of the Adjust instance. It is always possible to activate the Adjust SDK by invoking setEnabled with the enabled parameter set to true.

Offline mode

You can put the Adjust SDK in offline mode to suspend transmission to our servers, while still retaining tracked data to be sent later. While in offline mode, all information is saved in a file, so be careful not to trigger too many events while in offline mode.

You can activate offline mode by calling the method setOfflineMode of the Adjust instance with the parameter true.

Adjust.setOfflineMode(true);

Conversely, you can deactivate the offline mode by calling setOfflineMode with false. When the Adjust SDK is put back in online mode, all saved information is sent to our servers with the correct timstamps.

Unlike disabling tracking, this setting is not remembered between sessions. This means that the SDK is in online mode whenever it is started, even if the app was terminated in offline mode.

Event buffering

If your app makes heavy use of event tracking, you might want to delay some HTTP requests in order to send them in a single batch every minute. You can enable event buffering by calling the method setEventBufferingEnabled of the AdjustConfig instance with parameter true.

var appToken:String = "{YourAppToken}";
var environment:String = Environment.SANDBOX;
      
var adjustConfig:AdjustConfig = new AdjustConfig(appToken, environment);

adjustConfig.setEventBufferingEnabled(true);

Adjust.start(adjustConfig);

If nothing set, event buffering is disabled by default.

In accordance with article 17 of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you can notify Adjust when a user has exercised their right to be forgotten. Calling the following method will instruct the Adjust SDK to communicate the user's choice to be forgotten to the Adjust backend:

Adjust.gdprForgetMe();

Upon receiving this information, Adjust will erase the user's data and the Adjust SDK will stop tracking the user. No requests from this device will be sent to Adjust in the future.

You can now notify Adjust when a user has exercised their right to stop sharing their data with partners for marketing purposes, but has allowed it to be shared for statistics purposes.

Call the following method to instruct the Adjust SDK to communicate the user's choice to disable data sharing to the Adjust backend:

Adjust.disableThirdPartySharing();

Upon receiving this information, Adjust will block the sharing of that specific user's data to partners and the Adjust SDK will continue to work as usual.

SDK signature

An account manager must activate the Adjust SDK signature. Contact Adjust support ([email protected]) if you are interested in using this feature.

If the SDK signature has already been enabled on your account and you have access to App Secrets in your Adjust Dashboard, please use the method below to integrate the SDK signature into your app.

An App Secret is set by passing all secret parameters (secretId, info1, info2, info3, info4) to setAppSecret method of AdjustConfig instance:

var adjustConfig:AdjustConfig = new AdjustConfig(appToken, environment);

adjustConfig.setAppSecret(secretId, info1, info2, info3, info4);

Adjust.create(adjustConfig);

Background tracking

The default behaviour of the Adjust SDK is to pause sending HTTP requests while the app is in the background. You can change this in your AdjustConfig instance by calling the setSendInBackground method:

var appToken:String = "{YourAppToken}";
var environment:String = Environment.SANDBOX;
      
var adjustConfig:AdjustConfig = new AdjustConfig(appToken, environment);

adjustConfig.setSendInBackground(true);

Adjust.start(adjustConfig);

If nothing is set, sending in background is disabled by default.

Device IDs

Certain services (such as Google Analytics) require you to coordinate Device and Client IDs in order to prevent duplicate reporting.

iOS Advertising Identifier

To obtain the IDFA, call the function getIdfa:

var idfa:String = Adjust.getIdfa();

Google Play Services advertising identifier

If you need to obtain the Google Advertising ID, there is a restriction that only allows it to be read in a background thread. If you call the function getGoogleAdId by passing a function which gets String variable as a parameter to it, it will work in any situation:

Adjust.getGoogleAdId(getGoogleAdIdCallback);

// ...

private static function getGoogleAdIdCallback(googleAdId:String):void {
    trace("Google Ad Id = " + googleAdId);
}

Amazon advertising identifier

If you need to obtain the Amazon advertising ID, you can call the getAmazonAdId method on Adjust instance:

var adid:String = Adjust.getAmazonAdId();

Inside the custom defined method getGoogleAdIdCallback, you will have access to the Google Advertising ID as the variable googleAdId.

Adjust device identifier

For every device with your app installed on it, the Adjust backend generates a unique Adjust device identifier (adid). In order to obtain this identifier, you can make a call to following method of the Adjust instance:

var adid:String = Adjust.getAdid();

Note: Information about the adid is available after app installation has been tracked by the Adjust backend. From that moment on, the Adjust SDK has information about the device adid and you can access it with this method. So, it is not possible to access the adid value before the SDK has been initialised and installation of your app has been successfully tracked.

User attribution

As described in the attribution callback section, this callback is triggered, providing you with information about a new attribution whenever it changes. If you want to access information about a user's current attribution whenever you need it, you can make a call to the following method of the Adjust instance:

var attribution:AdjustAttribution = Adjust.getAttribution();

Note: Information about current attribution is available after app installation has been tracked by the Adjust backend and the attribution callback has been initially triggered. From that moment on, the Adjust SDK has information about a user's attribution and you can access it with this method. So, it is not possible to access a user's attribution value before the SDK has been initialised and an attribution callback has been triggered.

Push token

To send us the push notification token, add the following call to Adjust whenever you get your token in the app or when it gets updated:

Adjust.setDeviceToken("YourPushNotificationToken");

Push tokens are used for Audience Builder and client callbacks, and they are required for the upcoming uninstall tracking feature.

Track additional device identifiers

If you are distributing your Android app outside of the Google Play Store and would like to track additional device identifiers (IMEI and MEID), you need to explicitly instruct the Adjust SDK to do so. You can do that by calling the setReadMobileEquipmentIdentity method of the AdjustConfig instance. The Adjust SDK does not collect these identifiers by default.

var adjustConfig:AdjustConfig = new AdjustConfig(appToken, environment);

adjustConfig.setReadMobileEquipmentIdentity(true);

Adjust.create(adjustConfig);

You will also need to add the READ_PHONE_STATE permission to your Android manifest file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>

In order to use this feature, additional steps are required within your Adjust Dashboard. For more information, please contact your dedicated account manager or write an email to [email protected].

Pre-installed trackers

If you want to use the Adjust SDK to recognize users that found your app pre-installed on their device, follow these steps.

Create a new tracker in your dashboard.

Open your app delegate and add set the default tracker of your adjust_config instance:

var adjustConfig:AdjustConfig = new AdjustConfig(appToken, environment);

adjustConfig.setDefaultTracker("{TrackerToken}");

Adjust.start(adjustConfig);

Replace {TrackerToken} with the tracker token you created in step 2. Please note that the dashboard displays a tracker URL (including http://app.adjust.com/). In your source code, you should specify only the six-character token and not the entire URL.

Build and run your app. You should see a line like the following in the app's log output:
```
Default tracker: 'abc123'
```

Deep linking

If you are using the Adjust tracker URL with an option to deep link into your app from the URL, there is the possibility to get information about the deep link URL and its content. Hitting the URL can happen when the user has your app already installed (standard deep linking scenario) or if they don't have the app on their device (deferred deep linking scenario).

Standard deep linking scenario

The standard deep linking scenario is a platform specific feature, and in order to support it, you need to add some additional settings to your app.

In order to get information about the URL content in a standard deep linking scenario, you should subscribe to the InvokeEvent.INVOKE event and set up a callback method which will be triggered once this event happens. Inside of that callback method, you can access the URL of the deep link which opened your app:

var app:NativeApplication = NativeApplication.nativeApplication;
app.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE, onInvoke);

// ...

private static function onInvoke(event:InvokeEvent):void {
    if (event.arguments.length == 0) {
        return;
    }

    var deeplink:String = event.arguments[0];
    
    trace("Deeplink = " + deeplink);
}

Deferred deep linking scenario

While deferred deep linking is not supported out of the box on Android and iOS, our Adjust SDK makes it possible.

In order to get information about the URL content in a deferred deep linking scenario, you should set a callback method on the AdjustConfig object, which will receive one String parameter where the content of the URL will be delivered. You should set this method on the config object by calling the method setDeferredDeeplinkDelegate:

var appToken:String = "{YourAppToken}";
var environment:String = Environment.SANDBOX;
      
var adjustConfig:AdjustConfig = new AdjustConfig(appToken, environment);
adjustConfig.setDeferredDeeplinkDelegate(deferredDeeplinkDelegate);
Adjust.start(adjustConfig);

// ...

private static function deferredDeeplinkDelegate(uri:String):void {
    trace("Received Deferred Deeplink");
    trace("Deep link = " + uri);
}

In a deferred deep linking scenario, there is one additional setting which can be set on the AdjustConfig object. Once the Adjust SDK gets the deferred deep link information, you have the possibility to choose whether our SDK should open this URL or not. You can choose to set this option by calling the setShouldLaunchDeeplink method on the config object:

var appToken:String = "{YourAppToken}";
var environment:String = Environment.SANDBOX;
      
var adjustConfig:AdjustConfig = new AdjustConfig(appToken, environment);
adjustConfig.setDeferredDeeplinkDelegate(deferredDeeplinkDelegate);
adjustConfig.setShouldLaunchDeeplink(true);
Adjust.start(adjustConfig);

// ...

private static function deferredDeeplinkDelegate(uri:String):void {
    trace("Received Deferred Deeplink");
    trace("Deep link = " + uri);
}

If nothing is set, the Adjust SDK will always try to launch the URL by default.

To enable your app to support deep linking, you should do some additional set up for each supported platform.

Deep linking setup for Android

To set a scheme name for your Android app, you should add the following <intent-filter> to the activity you want to launch after deep linking:

<!-- ... -->
<activity>
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
        <data android:scheme="schemeName" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>
<!-- ... -->

You should replace schemeName with your desired scheme name for Android app.

Deep linking setup for iOS

In order to set a scheme name for your iOS app, you should add the following key-value pair into the <InfoAdditions> section of the app descriptor's <iPhone> section:

<iPhone>
    <!-- ... --->
    <InfoAdditions><![CDATA[
        <key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
        <array>
            <dict>
              <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
              <string>com.your.bundle</string>
              <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
              <array>
                <string>schemeName</string>
              </array>
            </dict>
        </array>
    ]]></InfoAdditions>
    <!-- ... -->
</iPhone>

You should replace com.your.bundle with your app's bundle ID and schemeName with your desired scheme name for iOS app.

Important: By using this approach for deep linking support in iOS, you will support deep link handling for devices running on iOS 8 and lower. Starting from iOS 9, Apple has introduced universal links for which, at this moment, there's no built in support inside the Adobe AIR platform. To support this, you would need to edit the natively generated iOS project in Xcode (if possible) and add support to handle universal links from there. If you are interested in finding out how to do that on the native side, please consult our native iOS universal links guide.

Reattribution via deep links

Adjust enables you to run re-engagement campaigns through deep links. For more information on how to do that, please check our official docs.

If you are using this feature, in order for your user to be properly reattributed, you need to make one additional call to the Adjust SDK in your app.

Once you have received deep link content information in your app, add a call to the Adjust.appWillOpenUrl method. By making this call, the Adjust SDK will try to find if there is any new attribution information inside of the deep link. If there is any, it will be sent to the Adjust backend. If your user should be reattributed due to a click on the adjust tracker URL with deep link content, you will see the attribution callback in your app being triggered with new attribution info for this user.

var app:NativeApplication = NativeApplication.nativeApplication;
app.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE, onInvoke);

// ...

private static function onInvoke(event:InvokeEvent):void {
    if (event.arguments.length == 0) {
        return;
    }

    var deeplink:String = event.arguments[0];
    trace("Deeplink = " + deeplink);
    Adjust.appWillOpenUrl(deeplink);
}
