Writing SOLID Analytics With Kotlin for Android - Medium Article
This library demonstrates how you could decouple analytics libraries from your business logic code, effectively allowing you to:
- Add & remove analytics services quickly
- Add & remove events quickly
- Change event names and parameters according to the required kit
Add library to your gradle module
repositories { maven { url "http://dl.bintray.com/sofakingforever/analytics" } } dependencies { def version ='1.0.19'// This is the generic java/kotlin interface compile "com.sofakingforever.analytics:analytics:version"// This is an android-dependant extension interface compile "com.sofakingforever.analytics:android:version@aar"// then add the kits you need, or implement your own kit/dispatcher compile "com.sofakingforever.analytics:kit-answers:version@aar" compile "com.sofakingforever.analytics:kit-firebase:version@aar" compile "com.sofakingforever.analytics:kit-flurry:version@aar" compile "com.sofakingforever.analytics:kit-mixpanel:version@aar"// Don't forget to add kotlin dependency, if you're in a pure-java project implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.2.71}
Initiate analytics and send events
// init analytics analytics =Analytics(settings, CustomDispatcher(init=true), LoggerDispatcherImpl(init=true, context =this), FirebaseDispatcherImpl(init=true, context =this), MixPanelDispatcherImpl(init=true, projectToken ="TOKEN", context =this), AnswersDispatcherImpl(init=true, context =this) // if you're using crashlytics, or any other fabric kit in addition to Answers// AnswersDispatcherImpl(init = true, Answers(), Crashlytics()) ) // send event analytics.track(SimpleEvent())
Don't forget to declare the event
classSimpleEvent : CustomEvent { // declare name - will be sent to all dispatchersoverridefungetEventName(kit:AnalyticsKit): String="Simple Event" }
If you're targeting Android, you need the android package, and you should generally extend AndroidAnalyticsDispatcher
and AndroidAnalyticsSettings
instead of the kotlin ones.
