💻 Create a dashboard for your app

If your app does not have a AppsFlyer dashboard your will need to Add a new app.

📲Adding the SDK to your project

A. Using Gradle

1. Add the code below to Module-level /app/build.gradle before dependencies

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

2. Add the latest version of AppsFlyer SDK as a dependency.
   It is highly reccomeneded to also add the install referrer library.

implementation 'com.appsflyer:af-android-sdk:5.+'
implementation 'com.android.installreferrer:installreferrer:1.0'

B. Manually adding the jar file

1. Download the AF-Android-SDK.jar
2. Add it to your project

🚀 Initializing the SDK

1. AndroidManifest setup

Add the following persmissions to your AndroidManifest.xml file.
The permissions should be added outside of the <application> tag.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<!-- Optional : -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />

2. Init the SDK

It is highly reccomended to init the SDK in a Application class.
This will prevent the SDK from being destroyed thoughout the lifecycle of the app.

Important: You must insert your apps dev key. It is required for all apps.

If you do not already have a Application level class then you will need to create one. To do this, in the same folder as your MainActivity.java, create a new Java class. (in this example the class is called AFApplication.java).

import android.app.Application;
import android.util.Log;
import com.appsflyer.AppsFlyerConversionListener;
import com.appsflyer.AppsFlyerLib;
import com.appsflyer.AppsFlyerLibCore;
import java.util.Map;

public class AFApplication extends Application {
    private static final String AF_DEV_KEY = "Q2aM**********HJ56";

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();

        AppsFlyerConversionListener conversionListener = new AppsFlyerConversionListener() {
            @Override
            public void onConversionDataSuccess(Map<String, Object> conversionData) {
                for (String attrName : conversionData.keySet()) {
                    Log.d(AppsFlyerLibCore.LOG_TAG, "attribute: " + attrName + " = " + conversionData.get(attrName));
                }
            }

            @Override
            public void onConversionDataFail(String s) {
            }

            @Override
            public void onAppOpenAttribution(Map<String, String> map) {
            }

            @Override
            public void onAttributionFailure(String s) {
            }
        };

        AppsFlyerLib.getInstance().init(AF_DEV_KEY, conversionListener, getApplicationContext());
        AppsFlyerLib.getInstance().startTracking(this);
    }
}
