Use the methods in this document to configure the behavior of the Adjust SDK.
Instantiate your config object
To configure the Adjust SDK, you need to instantiate an AdjustConfig
object. This object contains the read-only configuration options that you need to pass to the Adjust SDK.
To instantiate your config object, create a new AdjustConfig
instance and pass the following parameters:
appToken
(string
): Your Adjust app token.environment
(AdjustEnvironment
): The environment you want to run the SDK in. PassAdjustEnvironment.sandbox
to run the SDK in sandbox mode for testing. PassAdjustEnvironment.production
to run the SDK in production mode for release.allowSuppressLogLevel
(bool
): Whether to suppress all logging. Set totrue
to suppress logging orfalse
to enable logging.
Read-only configuration
Read-only configuration options are set in your AdjustConfig
instance before the initialization of the SDK. They can’t be changed while the SDK is running. You MUST configure any options you want to use before running Adjust.start()
.
Set your logging level
The Adjust SDK provides configurable log levels to return different amounts of information. The following log levels are available:
Log level | Description |
---|---|
AdjustLogLevel.Verbose | Enable all logging |
AdjustLogLevel.Debug | Enable debug logging |
AdjustLogLevel.Info | Only show info level logs (default option) |
AdjustLogLevel.Warn | Disable info logging |
AdjustLogLevel.Error | Disable warning level logging and below |
AdjustLogLevel.Assert | Disable error level logging and below |
AdjustLogLevel.Suppress | Suppress all logging |
You can set your log level by calling the setLogLevel
method on your AdjustConfig
instance with the following parameter:
logLevel
(LogLevel
): The log level you want to use.
Set external device identifier
An external device identifier is a custom value that you can assign to a device or user. They help you recognize users across sessions and platforms. They can also help you deduplicate installs by user so that a user isn’t counted as duplicate new installs. Contact your Adjust representative to get started with external device IDs.
You can use an external device ID as a custom identifier for a device. This helps you keep continuity with your other systems. You can set property calling the setExternalDeviceId
method with the following parameter:
externalDeviceId
(string
): Your external device identifier. This value is case sensitive. If you have imported external device IDs, make sure the value you pass matches the imported value.
If you want to use the external device ID in your business analytics, you can pass it as a session callback parameter.
You can import existing external device IDs into Adjust. This ensures that the Adjust servers match future data to your existing device records. Contact your Adjust representative for more information.
Set default link token
You can configure a default link token if your app is preinstalled on a device. When a user opens the preinstalled app for the first time, the install is attributed to the default link token. To set your default link token, call the setDefaultTracker
method with the following argument:
defaultTracker
(string
): The Adjust link token you want to record preinstalled installs against.
Enable cost data sending
By default, the Adjust SDK doesn’t send cost data as part of a user’s attribution. You can configure the SDK to send this data by enabling cost data sending. To enable cost data sending, call the setNeedsCost
method on your config instance with the following parameter:
needsCost
(bool
): set totrue
to enable cost data sending orfalse
to disable cost data sending.
Cost data is accessible in the user’s attribution information.
Enable background recording
By default, the Adjust SDK pauses the sending of requests when your app is running in the background. You can configure the SDK to send requests in the background by enabling the background recording. To enable background recording, call the setSendInBackground
method on your config instance with the following parameter:
sendInBackground
(bool
): Set totrue
to enable background sending orfalse
to disable background sending.
Enable event buffering
The Adjust SDK sends event information as soon as a user triggers an event in your app. You can send event information on a schedule by enabling event buffering. Event buffering stores events in a local buffer on the device and sends all requests once per minute.
Your config object contains a boolean eventBufferingEnabled
property that controls this behavior. You can set this property by calling the setEventBufferingEnabled
method on your config object with the following parameter:
eventBufferingEnabled
(bool
): Set totrue
to enable event buffering orfalse
to disable event buffering.
Delay the start of the SDK
By default, the Adjust SDK starts as soon as your app opens. If you want to send data that isn’t available at launch in session parameters, you can delay the start of the SDK. This can be helpful if you are sending information such as unique identifiers.
To configure a startup delay, call the setDelayStart
method with the following argument:
delayStart
(double
): The time (in seconds) by which to delay the start of the SDK. You can delay the start of the SDK by up to 10 seconds.
Dynamic configuration
Dynamic configuration options may be changed during the SDK’s lifecycle in response to events or actions taken by the user.
Toggle offline mode
The Adjust SDK sends event and session data to Adjust’s servers in real time. You can pause the sending of information by putting the SDK in offline mode. In offline mode the SDK stores all data in a local file on the device. The SDK sends this information to Adjust’s servers when you disable offline mode.
You can toggle offline mode at any time by calling the setOfflineMode
method with the following argument:
enabled
(bool
): Set totrue
to enable offline mode orfalse
to disable offline mode.
Set push tokens
Push tokens are used for Audiences and client callbacks. They’re also required for Uninstall and reinstall measurement.
Your config object contains a string deviceToken
property that you can use to store your push token. You can update this property at any time by calling the setDeviceToken
method and passing the following arguments:
deviceToken
(string
): Your push token.
Disable or enable the SDK
The Adjust SDK runs by default when your app is open. You can disable and re-enable the Adjust SDK to pause and resume recording. When you disable the Adjust SDK, it doesn’t send any data to Adjust’s servers.
You can enable or disable the SDK at any time by calling the setEnabled
method with the following argument:
enabled
(bool
): Set totrue
to enable the SDK orfalse
to disable the SDK.
Check enabled status
You can check if the Adjust SDK is enabled at any time by calling the isEnabled
method. This method returns a bool
value indicating if the SDK is enabled (true
) or disabled (false
).
