​
Event Types

Laudspeaker supports the tracking a few different types of events.

These include default events, message events, and custom events.

​
Default Events

Default events are tracked everytime a user uses your brand’s app, and includes the following:

identify

We are in the process of adding:

start session

​
Message Events

When a user opens a push notification, or interacts with an in-app message we also track those interactions, and these events can be used in journeys to trigger messages, or in segments as additional filters.

​
Custom Events

You can configure the tracking of custom events in your application, that are unique or important to your business.

You can track a custom event by using the Laudspaker.fire function, which takes in an event as a parameter which is a string representing the name of your event and optionally a `payload“.

Example Implementation

Here’s an example:

import com.laudspeaker.android.Laudspeaker

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private var appBarConfiguration: AppBarConfiguration? = null
    private var binding: ActivityMainBinding? = null

    private val laudspeaker: Laudspeaker by inject()
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        FirebaseApp.initializeApp(this)
        binding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(
            layoutInflater
        )
        setContentView(binding!!.getRoot())
        setSupportActionBar(binding!!.toolbar)
        val navController = findNavController(this, R.id.nav_host_fragment_content_main)
        appBarConfiguration = Builder(navController.graph).build()
        setupActionBarWithNavController(this, navController, appBarConfiguration!!)

        laudspeaker.setNotificationIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher_background)
        laudspeaker.handlePushOpened(intent)
        val identify_button = findViewById<Button>(R.id.identify_button)
        identify_button.setOnClickListener {
            val myMap: MutableMap<String, Any> = HashMap()
            myMap["time"] = System.currentTimeMillis()
            laudspeaker.identify("mahamad@laudspeaker.com", myMap)
        }
        val fire_button = findViewById<Button>(R.id.fire_button)
        fire_button.setOnClickListener {
            val myMap: MutableMap<String, Any> = HashMap()
            myMap["time"] = System.currentTimeMillis()
            println("Laudspeaker API: inside capture")
            laudspeaker.fire("hello", myMap)
        }
        val switchToggle = findViewById<Switch>(R.id.switchToggle)
        switchToggle.setOnCheckedChangeListener { buttonView, isChecked -> // Prevent the switch from changing state immediately
            buttonView.isChecked = !isChecked
            val map: MutableMap<String, Any> = HashMap()
            map["notification_preferences"] = isChecked
            laudspeaker.set(map)
            buttonView.isChecked = isChecked
        }
    }

    override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu): Boolean {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu)
        return true
    }

    override fun onOptionsItemSelected(item: MenuItem): Boolean {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        val id = item.itemId
        return if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            true
        } else super.onOptionsItemSelected(item)
    }

    override fun onSupportNavigateUp(): Boolean {
        val navController = findNavController(this, R.id.nav_host_fragment_content_main)
        return navigateUp(navController, appBarConfiguration!!) || super.onSupportNavigateUp()
    }
}
