Before you begin
Here’s what you need to do before updating to SDK v5:
- SDK v5 supports SDK signature verification natively. If you currently use the SDK signature library, you need to uninstall this first.
- If your app targets API versions lower than 21 you need to update your app before you can use SDK v5.
Install the SDK
To start using SDK v5, you need to add it as a dependency in your project. To do this:
-
Remove any older versions of the SDK you currently have in your
build.gradlefile. -
Add the following dependencies to your
build.gradlefile:build.gradle dependencies {implementation 'com.adjust.sdk:adjust-android:5.0.0'implementation 'com.android.installreferrer:installreferrer:2.2'// Add the following if you are using the Adjust SDK inside web views on your appimplementation 'com.adjust.sdk:adjust-android-webbridge:5.0.0'}
Update the initialization method
In SDK v4, the initialization method is Adjust.onCreate(AdjustConfig). This has been changed to Adjust.initSdk(AdjustConfig) in SDK v5.
Adjust.onCreate(adjustConfig) // v4Adjust.initSdk(adjustConfig) // v5Adjust.onCreate(adjustConfig); // v4Adjust.initSdk(adjustConfig); // v5Configure the SDK Signature library
SDK v5 includes the SDK signature library. You can test this by following the testing steps in the Signature library integration guide.
Signature protection is inactive by default. To enable it, you need to:
- Enforce signature validation.
- Provide your app’s SHA-1 fingerprints prior to testing.
Once you’ve installed the v5 SDK, you need to update your existing Adjust code to use the new APIs.
New APIs
The following APIs have been added in SDK v5.
Install referrer getters
SDK v5 contains new getter methods for fetching install referrer information.
Adjust.getGooglePlayInstallReferrer( applicationContext, object : OnGooglePlayInstallReferrerReadListener { override fun onInstallReferrerRead(referrerDetails: GooglePlayInstallReferrerDetails) {} override fun onFailure(message: String) {} })AdjustHuaweiReferrer.getHuaweiAdsInstallReferrer( applicationContext, object : OnHuaweiInstallReferrerReadListener() { fun onInstallReferrerDetailsRead(referrerDetails: HuaweiInstallReferrerDetails?) {} fun onFail(message: String?) {} })
AdjustHuaweiReferrer.getHuaweiAppGalleryInstallReferrer( applicationContext, object : OnHuaweiInstallReferrerReadListener() { fun onInstallReferrerDetailsRead(referrerDetails: HuaweiInstallReferrerDetails?) {} fun onFail(message: String?) {} })AdjustSamsungReferrer.getSamsungInstallReferrer( applicationContext, object : OnSamsungInstallReferrerReadListener() { fun onSamsungInstallReferrerRead(referrerDetails: SamsungInstallReferrerDetails?) {} fun onFail(message: String?) {} })AdjustVivoReferrer.getVivoInstallReferrer( applicationContext, object : OnVivoInstallReferrerReadListener() { fun onVivoInstallReferrerRead(referrerDetails: VivoInstallReferrerDetails?) {} fun onFail(message: String?) {} })AdjustXiaomiReferrer.getXiaomiInstallReferrer( applicationContext, object : OnXiaomiInstallReferrerReadListener() { fun onXiaomiInstallReferrerRead(referrerDetails: XiaomiInstallReferrerDetails?) {} fun onFail(message: String?) {} })Adjust.getGooglePlayInstallReferrer(getApplicationContext(), new OnGooglePlayInstallReferrerReadListener() { @Override public void onInstallReferrerRead(GooglePlayInstallReferrerDetails referrerDetails) { }

@Override public void onFail(String message) { }});
AdjustHuaweiReferrer.getHuaweiAppGalleryInstallReferrer(getApplicationContext(), new OnHuaweiInstallReferrerReadListener() { @Override public void onInstallReferrerDetailsRead(HuaweiInstallReferrerDetails referrerDetails) { }
@Override public void onFail(String message) { }});AdjustSamsungReferrer.getSamsungInstallReferrer(getApplicationContext(), new OnSamsungInstallReferrerReadListener() { @Override public void onSamsungInstallReferrerRead(SamsungInstallReferrerDetails referrerDetails) { }
@Override public void onFail(String message) { }});AdjustVivoReferrer.getVivoInstallReferrer(getApplicationContext(), new OnVivoInstallReferrerReadListener() { @Override public void onVivoInstallReferrerRead(VivoInstallReferrerDetails referrerDetails) { }
@Override public void onFail(String message) { }});AdjustXiaomiReferrer.getXiaomiInstallReferrer(getApplicationContext(), new OnXiaomiInstallReferrerReadListener() { @Override public void onXiaomiInstallReferrerRead(XiaomiInstallReferrerDetails referrerDetails) { }
@Override public void onFail(String message) { }});Changed APIs
The following APIs have changed in SDK v5.
Disable and enable the SDK
In SDK v4, you can enable and disable the SDK by calling Adjust.setEnabled() with a boolean value.
- Call
Adjust.setEnabled(false)to disable the SDK. - Call
Adjust.setEnabled(true)to enable the SDK
Adjust.setEnabled(false) // disable SDKAdjust.setEnabled(true) // enable SDKAdjust.setEnabled(false); // disable SDKAdjust.setEnabled(true); // enable SDKIn SDK v5, this feature is split into separate commands for clarity.
- Call
Adjust.disable()to disable the SDK. - Call
Adjust.enable()to enable the SDK.
Adjust.disable() // disable SDKAdjust.enable() // enable SDKAdjust.disable(); // disable SDKAdjust.enable(); // enable SDKOffline mode
In SDK v4, you can enable and disable offline mode in the SDK by calling Adjust.setOfflineMode() with a boolean value.
Adjust.setOfflineMode(false) // put SDK in offline modeAdjust.setOfflineMode(true) // put SDK back in online modeAdjust.setOfflineMode(false); // put SDK in offline modeAdjust.setOfflineMode(true); // put SDK back in online modeIn SDK v5, this feature is split into separate commands for clarity.
- Call
Adjust.switchToOfflineMode()to set the SDK to offline mode. - Call
Adjust.switchBackToOnlineMode()to set the SDK back to online mode.
Adjust.switchToOfflineMode() // put SDK in offline modeAdjust.switchBackToOnlineMode() // put SDK back in online modeAdjust.switchToOfflineMode(); // put SDK in offline modeAdjust.switchBackToOnlineMode(); // put SDK back in online modePreinstall recording
In SDK v4, you can enable the SDK to record activity from apps that came preinstalled on a user’s device by calling the setPreinstallTrackingEnabled method of your AdjustConfig instance with a boolean argument.
adjustConfig.setPreinstallTrackingEnabled(true)adjustConfig.setPreinstallTrackingEnabled(true);In SDK v5, this method has been renamed to enablePreinstallTracking for clarity. This method takes no arguments.
adjustConfig.enablePreinstallTracking()adjustConfig.enablePreinstallTracking();Send session information
In SDK v4, you need to register activity lifecycle callbacks by implementing ActivityLifecycleCallbacks and calling Adjust.onResume() and Adjust.onPause() on Activity resume and pause respectively.
In SDK v5, the ActivityLifecycleCallbacks functionality is handled by the SDK. You should remove all custom activity lifecycle callbacks from your code.
Session callback parameters
Session callback parameters has been renamed to Global callback parameters in SDK v5.
Adjust.addSessionCallbackParameter("foo", "bar")Adjust.removeSessionCallbackParameter("foo")Adjust.resetSessionCallbackParameters()
Adjust.addGlobalCallbackParameter("foo", "bar")Adjust.removeGlobalCallbackParameter("foo")Adjust.removeGlobalCallbackParameters()Adjust.addSessionCallbackParameter("foo", "bar");Adjust.removeSessionCallbackParameter("foo");Adjust.resetSessionCallbackParameters();
Adjust.addGlobalCallbackParameter("foo", "bar");Adjust.removeGlobalCallbackParameter("foo");Adjust.removeGlobalCallbackParameters();Session partner parameters

Adjust.addGlobalPartnerParameter("foo", "bar")Adjust.removeGlobalPartnerParameter("foo")Adjust.removeGlobalPartnerParameters()Adjust.addSessionPartnerParameter("foo", "bar");Adjust.removeSessionPartnerParameter("foo");Adjust.resetSessionPartnerParameters();
Adjust.addGlobalPartnerParameter("foo", "bar");Adjust.removeGlobalPartnerParameter("foo");Adjust.removeGlobalPartnerParameters();Event deduplication
In SDK v4, event deduplication is coupled with the event order ID and is limited to a maximum of 10 unique IDs.
val event = AdjustEvent("event_token")event.setOrderId("deduplication_id")Adjust.trackEvent(event)AdjustEvent event = new AdjustEvent("event_token");event.setOrderId("deduplication_id");Adjust.trackEvent(event);In SDK v5, the feature is decoupled from order ID. A new ID field called deduplicationId has been added for event deduplication. Users can set a custom limit on the number of deduplicationId that can be added to the list for identifying duplicate events. By default, the limit is set to 10.
val adjustConfig = AdjustConfig(this, appToken, environment)
adjustConfig.setEventDeduplicationIdsMaxSize(20) // if not set, then 10Adjust.initSdk(adjustConfig)
val event = AdjustEvent("event_token")event.setDeduplicationId("deduplication_id")Adjust.trackEvent(event)AdjustConfig adjustConfig = new AdjustConfig(this, appToken, environment);
adjustConfig.setEventDeduplicationIdsMaxSize(20); // if not set, then 10Adjust.initSdk(adjustConfig);
AdjustEvent event = new AdjustEvent("event_token");event.setDeduplicationId("deduplication_id");Adjust.trackEvent(event);AdjustAttribution class
In SDK v4, the AdjustAttribution calls has a property called adid. In SDK v5, the adid property has been removed from the AdjustAttribution class. You can retrieve the device’s ADID using the getAdid() getter method.
Reattribution using deep links
The method used for passing deep link data to the Adjust SDK has been renamed.
- v4:
Adjust.appWillOpenUrl(). - v5:
Adjust.processDeeplink().
Adjust.appWillOpenUrl(url, applicationContext) //v4Adjust.processDeeplink(adjustDeepLink, applicationContext) //v5Adjust.appWillOpenUrl(url, getApplicationContext()); //v4Adjust.processDeeplink(adjustDeepLink, getApplicationContext()); //v5Deferred deep linking callback
In SDK v4, you can call the setOnDeeplinkResponseListener method to handle deferred deep link callbacks.
adjustConfig.setOnDeeplinkResponseListener { deeplink -> Log.d("example", "Deferred deep link callback called!") true}adjustConfig.setOnDeeplinkResponseListener(new OnDeeplinkResponseListener() { @Override public boolean launchReceivedDeeplink(Uri deeplink) { Log.d("example", "Deferred deep link callback called!"); return true; } });In SDK v5, this method is has been renamed to setOnDeferredDeeplinkResponseListener for clarity. All arguments are the same.
adjustConfig.setOnDeferredDeeplinkResponseListener {uri -> Log.d("example", "Deferred deep link callback called!") true }adjustConfig.setOnDeferredDeeplinkResponseListener(new OnDeferredDeeplinkResponseListener() { @Override public boolean launchReceivedDeeplink(Uri deeplink) { Log.d("example", "Deferred deep link callback called!"); return true; } });COPPA compliance
In SDK v4, you can mark your app as COPPA compliant by calling the setCoppaCompliantEnabled method on your AdjustConfig instance with a boolean value.
adjustConfig.setCoppaCompliantEnabled(true)adjustConfig.setCoppaCompliantEnabled(true);In SDK v5, this method has been renamed to enableCoppaCompliance for clarity. This method takes no arguments.

adjustConfig.setPlayStoreKidsAppEnabled(true)adjustConfig.setPlayStoreKidsAppEnabled(true);In SDK v5, this method has been renamed to enablePlayStoreKidsCompliance for clarity. This method takes no arguments.
adjustConfig.enablePlayStoreKidsCompliance()adjustConfig.enablePlayStoreKidsCompliance();Send ad revenue from a specific source
In SDK v4, ad revenue sources are defined as constants in the AdjustConfig class. In SDK v5, ad revenue sources need to be passed as a string.
val adjustAdRevenue = AdjustAdRevenue(AdjustConfig.AD_REVENUE_APPLOVIN_MAX) // v4val adjustAdRevenue = AdjustAdRevenue("applovin_max_sdk") // v5AdjustAdRevenue adjustAdRevenue = new AdjustAdRevenue(AdjustConfig.AD_REVENUE_APPLOVIN_MAX); // v4AdjustAdRevenue adjustAdRevenue = new AdjustAdRevenue("applovin_max_sdk"); // v5| v4 | v5 |

In SDK v4, URL strategy and data residency domains are defined as constants in the AdjustConfig class.
adjustConfig.setUrlStrategy(AdjustConfig.DATA_RESIDENCY_EU)adjustConfig.setUrlStrategy(AdjustConfig.DATA_RESIDENCY_EU);In SDK v5, you need to pass your chosen domain or domains as an array. You can also set the following:
useSubdomains(boolean): Whether the source should prefix a subdomain.isDataResidency(boolean): Whether the domain should be used for data residency.
val domains: List<String> = mutableListOf("domain") // eg. eu.adjust.comval useSubdomains = true // or falseval isDataResidency = false // or true for data residencyadjustConfig.setUrlStrategy(domains, useSubdomains, isDataResidency)List<String> domains = Arrays.asList("domain"); // eg. eu.adjust.comboolean useSubdomains = true; // or falseboolean isDataResidency = false; // or true for data residencyadjustConfig.setUrlStrategy(domains, useSubdomains, isDataResidency);Check the table below to see how to configure your URL strategy in SDK v5.
