Public Methods

public static void addOnExperimentsProcessedListener (Apptimize.OnExperimentsProcessedListener listener)

Add a callback to be invoked when an Apptimize configuration is recalculated. The enrolled experiments may or may not have changed. The dynamic variable values may or may not have changed. Feature flag values may or may not have changed. This happens at various times:

  • new information from server
  • device properties or custom attributes changed
  • and a few other cases

Parameters
listener The Apptimize.OnExperimentsProcessedListener that will be invoked when an Apptimize configuration is recalculated.

public static void addToMetric (String metricName, double value)

This method is deprecated.
Use track(String, double) instead.

Inform Apptimize that a numeric metric was achieved. A numeric metric is a noteworthy event associated with a numeric value that you wish to track. Call this whenever a numeric metric has been achieved, and this data will then be displayed in your results at apptimize.com.

For example, if the event you're interested in is a purchase event, you could call this method when a purchase is made and provide the price as the value. Then when viewing your results at apptimize.com you would be able to see the sum of the purchase prices.

Parameters
metricName The metric's name.
value The numeric value associated with this metric event.

public static void clearAllForcedVariants ()

Stop forcing variants. Normal allocation will resume.

public static void clearForcedVariant (Long variantId)

Stop forcing the variant with the given Id. If this is the only forced variant, normal allocation will resume.

Parameters
variantId The variantId to stop forcing.

public static void clearUserAttribute (String attributeName)

Erase a user attribute from memory so it's no longer used for targeting/filtering/segmenting. You may call this before or after the Apptimize.setup() call. Attributes will be uploaded with your data so you can filter and segment on them in the Apptimize results browser. You can also use them to target users via the Apptimize frontend. If you want to do targeting of users based on these attributes, you should ideally set your attributes before calling Apptimize.setup().

Parameters
attributeName The attribute's name/key.

public static void disable ()

Disables Apptimize. This will prevent Apptimize from further receiving or sending data, until the Application is closed/destroyed, restarted, and the setup(android.content.Context, String) method is called. If setup(android.content.Context, String) method has not been called yet, this disable method does nothing. Note that this disable method is only activated the moment it is called. Any events after setup(android.content.Context, String) is called, and prior to this disable method is called, will still be tracked.

public static double doubleForTest (String varName, double defaultValue, ApptimizeOptions options)

Get the double associated with an Apptimize variable. Calling this method is the equivalent of defining an ApptimizeVar using createDouble(String, Double) and then calling its value() method.

Note that this method will likely be deprecated soon in favor of using ApptimizeVar directly.

Options can be configured using the input ApptimizeOptions.

Parameters
varName The name of the Apptimize variable.
defaultValue The value to return if this device is not enrolled in any A/B experiments that affect this variable.
options Options for configuring this method. See ApptimizeOptions
Returns
  • The double value this device should use for this A/B test variable.

public static double doubleForTest (String varName, double defaultValue)

Get the double associated with an Apptimize variable. Calling this method is the equivalent of defining an ApptimizeVar using createDouble(String, Double) and then calling its value() method.

Note that this method will likely be deprecated soon in favor of using ApptimizeVar directly.

This method's options can be configured by instead calling doubleForTest(String, double, ApptimizeOptions)

Parameters
varName The name of the Apptimize variable.
defaultValue The value to return if this device is not enrolled in any A/B experiments that affect this variable.
Returns
  • The double value this device should use for this A/B test variable.

public static void event (String eventName, double value)

This method is deprecated.
Use track(String, double) instead.

Inform Apptimize that an event occurred. For noteworthy events that you wish to track, you should call this method each time the event occurs. This data will then be displayed in your results at apptimize.com. Examples of events you could track include: purchases being made, login events, and Facebook shares.

If there is a numeric value associated with this event that you'd like to track and view at apptimize.com, provide it as the input parameter value. For example, if the event is a purchase, the value might be the price. If there is no such value, use track(String) instead.

Parameters
eventName The event's name.
value The numeric value associated with this event.

public static void event (String eventName)

This method is deprecated.
Use track(String) instead.

Inform Apptimize that an event occurred. For noteworthy events that you wish to track, you should call this method each time the event occurs. This data will then be displayed in your results at apptimize.com. Examples of events you could track include: purchases being made, login events, and Facebook shares.

If there is a numeric value associated with this event that you'd like to track and view at apptimize.com, use track(String, double) instead.

Parameters
eventName The event's name.

public static void forceVariant (Long variantId)

Force the variant with the given ID to be enabled.

All variants forced using this method will be treated as though they underwent experiment selection, and will be reflected on your results dashboard. Forced variants are persistent across application launches and will not be reset except by calls to clearForcedVariant or clearAllForcedVariants.

If called multiple times, all variants supplied to invocations of this method will be turned on.

setForceVariantsShowWinnersAndInstantUpdates(boolean) determines whether winners and instant-updates will be shown. By default, this setting is off, so change your call to Apptimize.setup to turn it on as needed. Note that the "Advanced Verify" feature on the dashboard will only work when winners and instant-updates are being shown, because "Advanced Verify" works by sending an instant update to the paired device.

Parameters
variantId The variantId to be forced.

public static String getApptimizeAnonUserId ()

Get the current Apptimize-created anonymous user ID

This anonymous user ID will be used if-and-only-if the customer-specified user ID is null. A single anonymous user ID is created. If the customerUserId is set to a non-null value, then set back to null, Apptimize will use the same anonymous user ID as before.

Returns
  • the current Apptimize-created anonymous user ID

public static String getCustomerUserId ()

Get the current customer-specified userId

User IDs are arbitrary strings. If the customer-specified user ID is null, then Apptimize will create and use an anonymous user ID for tracking purposes. The initial default value of the customer-specified user ID is null.

Returns
  • The current customer-specified userId or null if not set

public static String getExperimentString (String varName, String defaultValue)

This method is deprecated.
Use stringForTest(String, String) instead.

Simulates a fresh install of Apptimize. For use in testing. All persisted data and attributes will disappear.

public static void runExperiment (String experimentName, ApptimizeExperiment experiment)

Executes an experiment. The code to run an experiment can be easily obtained from the Apptimize administration website. In it, you specify the experiment and variant names and it gives you code to paste into your app. It's best to cut and paste from the website to avoid typos. A single method on ApptimizeExperiment will be called synchronously (i.e. before the method returns). No reference to the ApptimizeExperiment instance is held or ever called again, unless you call runExperiment again. So in terms of control flow, this method works exactly like an if statement. Rather than using a code block test, we recommend controlling flow by creating an ApptimizeVar (whose value can be changed by A/B experiments) and then having an if/else or switch statement based on the value of the ApptimizeVar. Note: This method will soon be deprecated. Use runTest(String, ApptimizeTest) instead. This method's options can be configured by instead calling runTest(String, ApptimizeTest, ApptimizeOptions).

Parameters
experimentName The name of the experiment you're running.
experiment The code for the experiment. If the experiment is not currently running, the baseline method will be run.

public static void runTest (String testName, ApptimizeTest test, ApptimizeOptions options)

Executes a code block test. The code to run a test can be easily obtained from the Apptimize administration website. In it, you specify the test and variant names and it gives you code to paste into your app. It's best to cut and paste from the website to avoid typos.

value the value of the dynamic variable

public static void setCustomerUserId (String customerUserId)

Set the current customer-specified user ID

User IDs are arbitrary strings, except that they cannot be the empty string "". When the customer-specified user ID is null, then Apptimize creates and uses an anonymous user ID for tracking purposes. If the customerUserId is set to a non-null value, then set back to null, Apptimize will use the same anonymous user ID as before. The initial default value of the customer-specified user ID is null.

Parameters
customerUserId the user ID string

This method is deprecated.
Use track(String, double) instead.

Inform Apptimize that a numeric metric was achieved. A numeric metric is a noteworthy event associated with a numeric value that you wish to track. Call this whenever a numeric metric has been achieved, and this data will then be displayed in your results at apptimize.com.

For example, if the event you're interested in is a purchase event, you could call this method when a purchase is made and provide the price as the value. Then when viewing your results at apptimize.com you would be able to see the sum of the purchase prices.

Parameters
metricName The metric's name.
value The numeric value associated with this metric event.

public static void setOffline (boolean offline)

Set whether Apptimize should be in offline mode.

The default value for this setting is false. If set to true, Apptimize will not receive or send data until this setting is reset to false. This setting will persist across app restarts; e.g., if it is set to true and the app is restarted, Apptimize will still be in offline mode until this method is called with a value of false.

You may call this method before or after the Apptimize.setup() call. However, note that if you call this method and then do not call Apptimize.setup() before the app is destroyed, your requested setting will NOT be persisted for the next time the app is created.

public static void setUserAttribute (String attributeName, double number)

Set a user attribute to be used in targeting/filtering/segmenting. You may call this before or after the Apptimize.setup() call. Attributes will be uploaded with your data so you can filter and segment on them in the Apptimize results browser. You can also use them to target users via the Apptimize frontend. If you want to do targeting of users based on these attributes, you should ideally set your attributes before calling Apptimize.setup().

Parameters
attributeName The attribute's name/key.
number The value of the attribute.

public static void setup (Context context, String appKey)

Initializes Apptimize with the default options. You should either call Apptimize.setup(this, "your app key") in all of your activities' onCreate methods or in your Application subclass. The latter is easier since you only need to add code in one place, but many Android apps do not specify a custom Application class (via http://developer .android.com/guide/topics/manifest/application-element.html#nm). Apptimize.setup() can be safely called multiple times and should be called on the main thread.

Parameters
context Your Context object (e.g., your Application or Activity). Usually just "this".
appKey The key provided to you by Apptimize. It links your app to your Apptimize account.

public static void setup (Context context, String appKey, ApptimizeOptions options)

options Options for configuring Apptimize. See ApptimizeOptions

public static String stringForTest (String varName, String defaultValue, ApptimizeOptions options)

Get the String associated with an Apptimize variable. Calling this method is the equivalent of defining an ApptimizeVar using createString(String, String) and then calling its value() method.

Note that this method will likely be deprecated soon in favor of using ApptimizeVar directly.

Options can be configured using the input ApptimizeOptions.

Parameters
varName The name of the Apptimize variable.
defaultValue The value to return if this device is not enrolled in any A/B experiments that affect this variable.
options Options for configuring this method. See ApptimizeOptions
Returns
  • The String value this device should use for this A/B test variable.

public static String stringForTest (String varName, String defaultValue)

Get the String associated with an Apptimize variable. Calling this method is the equivalent of defining an ApptimizeVar using createString(String, String) and then calling its value() method.

Note that this method will likely be deprecated soon in favor of using ApptimizeVar directly.

This method's options can be configured by instead calling stringForTest(String, String, ApptimizeOptions).

Parameters
varName The name of the Apptimize variable.
defaultValue The value to return if this device is not enrolled in any A/B experiments that affect this variable.
Returns
  • The String value this device should use for this A/B test variable.

public static void track (String eventName)

Inform Apptimize that an event occurred. For noteworthy events that you wish to track, you should call this method each time the event occurs. This data will then be displayed in your results at apptimize.com. Examples of events you could track include: purchases being made, login events, and Facebook shares.

If there is a numeric value associated with this event that you'd like to track and view at apptimize.com, use track(String, double) instead.

Parameters
eventName The event's name.

public static void track (String eventName, double value)
