SOLID Android Client Kotlin Analytics Interface

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

Quick Start Guide

Add To Gradle

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


}

Kotlin Implementation Example

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

class SimpleEvent : CustomEvent {
    // declare name - will be sent to all dispatchers
    override fun getEventName(kit: AnalyticsKit): String = "Simple Event"

}

Android Highlights

If you're targeting Android, you need the android package, and you should generally extend AndroidAnalyticsDispatcher and AndroidAnalyticsSettings instead of the kotlin ones.
