Enabling Encryption for Events

To enable encryption for event payloads stored locally on the device, include the following code in the Android manifest under the <application> tag.

<application>
.......
<meta-data
    android:name="SMT_USE_ENCRYPTION"
    android:value="true" />
    .......
</application>

After setting up encryption, build the user profile by passing user attributes and managing user identity.

1. Building User Profile

You can pass additional information associated with a user to Smartech as user attributes as shown below.

HashMap<String, Object> payload = new HashMap<>();
payload.put("FIRST NAME", "Ram");
payload.put("LAST NAME", "Sharma");
payload.put("AGE", 25);

Smartech.getInstance(new WeakReference<>(context)).updateUserProfile(payload);

val payload : HashMap<String, Any> = HashMap()
        payload["FIRST NAME"] = "Ram"
        payload["LAST NAME"] = "Sharma"
        payload["AGE"] = 25
  
Smartech.getInstance(WeakReference(context)).updateUserProfile(payload)

SmartechSDK.updateUserProfile(USER_PROFILE_DETIAL_PAYLOAD);

// Sample code for reference purpose only
const payloadata = {
      NAME: "User Name",
			EMAILID: "[email protected]",
			AGE: "30",
			MOBILE: "4545748"
    };
SmartechSDK.updateUserProfile(payloadata);

📘

Note:

  • Smartech supports following data types - String, Integer, Float, Date, Array, Objects. Refer to the given table to know the Supported Data Types.
  • Date should be sent as yyyy-mm-dd format

2. Identifying users

Use the below method to set a user’s identity. In case the user’s identity is not available at login, you can also use this method after availability of identity and after setting identity all corresponding event will be mapped to this identity. 

Smartech.getInstance(new WeakReference<>(context)).setUserIdentity("<USER'S_IDENTITY>");

Smartech.getInstance(WeakReference(context)).setUserIdentity("<USER'S_IDENTITY>")

SmartechSDK.setUserIdentity(USERS_IDENTITY);

3. Login Event

Call Smartech login method as soon as user successfully login into the app and also set user’s identity before calling the login method of SDK.

Smartech.getInstance(new WeakReference<>(context)).login("<USER'S_IDENTITY>");

Smartech.getInstance(WeakReference(context)).login("<USER'S_IDENTITY>")

SmartechSDK.login(USERS_IDENTITY);

📘

Note

In addition to calling this method after a successful login and sign-up, it is recommended to call login() method where the app finds the user is already logged in and navigates the user to the homepage.

4. Clear Identity

This will clear the user’s identity and after this, all activity will be tracked as anonymous. 

Smartech.getInstance(new WeakReference<>(context)).clearUserIdentity();

Smartech.getInstance(WeakReference(context)).clearUserIdentity()

SmartechSDK.clearUserIdentity();

5. Logout Event

Call the Smartech logout method after the user log-out from the application. If you want to clear the user identity pass true in the parameter. When you logout the user with identity clear, you won't be receiving any personalised push notifications.

Smartech.getInstance(new WeakReference<>(context)).logoutAndClearUserIdentity(booleanClearIdentity);

Smartech.getInstance(WeakReference(context)).logoutAndClearUserIdentity(booleanClearIdentity)

//SmartechSDK.logoutAndClearUserIdentity(isLougoutClearIdentity)

// Sample code for reference purpose only
SmartechSDK.logoutAndClearUserIdentity(1);
