Initialize SDK settings in Android

Overview

SDKSettings in Xandr Mobile SDK is a API that can be called to activate OMID, fetch User Agent and AAID (Google Advertising ID) for devices. The initialization init() method passes these parameters as arguments in the SDK. However, fetching of User Agent involves instantiating a WebView to get the User Agent string on the UI thread. However this contributes for a delayed app start up apart from retrieving and setting the AAID on a worker thread. To mitigate this situation and to improve the app launch performance, an additional flexible init() method is provided using which you can disable fetching of User Agent and AAID for devices optionally.

Method

The following methods are supported in this feature:

init()

The init() method activates OMID, fetch User Agent, AAID (Google Advertising ID), enables WarmUpAdCall and prefetch WebView for devices.

public static void init(activateOmid, fetchUserAgent, fetchAAID, enableWarmUpAdCall, preFetchWebView)

Additionally, below is the overloaded init() method that optionally disable fetching of AAID and UserAgent. It requires enable/disable booleans for fetchUserAgent and fetchAAID as arguments. Additionally, below is the overloaded init() method that optionally disable fetching of AAID, UserAgent, enableWarmUpAdCall and preFetchWebView. It requires enable/disable booleans for fetchUserAgent, fetchAAID, enableWarmUpAdCall, and preFetchWebView as arguments.

public static void init(final boolean fetchUserAgent, final boolean fetchAAID,final boolean enableWarmUpAdCall, final boolean preFetchWebView)

Example

// Regular Init method
SDKSettings.init(this, new SDKSettings.InitListener() {
    @Override
    public void onInitFinished() {
        // Initialisation finished
    }
});
// Overloaded Init method with flexibility to enable / disable fetching of User Agent, AAID, WarmUpAdCall and Prefetch WebView
SDKSettings.init(this, new SDKSettings.InitListener() {
    @Override
    public void onInitFinished() {
        // Initialisation finished
    }
}, false, true, false, false);
//Boolean values false/true are optional and as per usage
