Tracker SDK Initialization & Event Patterns

Detailed code patterns for each tracker SDK — how they initialize, log events, identify users, and handle consent.

Firebase Analytics

Initialization

// Typically in Application.onCreate() or Activity
FirebaseAnalytics mFirebaseAnalytics = FirebaseAnalytics.getInstance(this);
// Auto-initialized via google-services.json — may have no explicit init call
FirebaseApp.initializeApp(context);

Where to find API key: google-services.json → project_info.firebase_url and client[].api_key. After decompilation, check res/values/strings.xml for google_app_id, firebase_database_url, gcm_defaultSenderId.

Event Logging

Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.ITEM_ID, id);
params.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.ITEM_NAME, name);
mFirebaseAnalytics.logEvent(FirebaseAnalytics.Event.SELECT_CONTENT, params);
// Custom events
mFirebaseAnalytics.logEvent("custom_event_name", params);

Grep: \.logEvent\s*\( — captures both standard and custom events.

User Identification

mFirebaseAnalytics.setUserId("user_id_string");
mFirebaseAnalytics.setUserProperty("favorite_food", "pizza");

Consent / Opt-out

mFirebaseAnalytics.setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(false); // kill switch
// Granular consent (v21.0.0+)
mFirebaseAnalytics.setConsent(Map.of(
    ConsentType.ANALYTICS_STORAGE, ConsentStatus.DENIED,
    ConsentType.AD_STORAGE, ConsentStatus.DENIED
));

Adjust

Initialization

AdjustConfig config = new AdjustConfig(this, "APP_TOKEN", AdjustConfig.ENVIRONMENT_PRODUCTION);
config.setLogLevel(LogLevel.WARN);
config.setOnAttributionChangedListener(attribution -> { /* ... */ });
Adjust.onCreate(config);

Where to find API key: First argument to AdjustConfig() constructor — the app token string.

Event Tracking

AdjustEvent event = new AdjustEvent("EVENT_TOKEN");
event.setRevenue(1.0, "USD");
event.addCallbackParameter("key", "value");
Adjust.trackEvent(event);

Attribution

config.setOnAttributionChangedListener(attribution -> {
    attribution.trackerToken;
    attribution.trackerName;
    attribution.network;
    attribution.campaign;
});

Consent

Adjust.gdprForgetMe(context); // GDPR right to be forgotten
Adjust.disableThirdPartySharing(context);
Adjust.trackThirdPartySharing(thirdPartySharing);

AppsFlyer

Initialization

AppsFlyerLib.getInstance().init("AF_DEV_KEY", conversionListener, this);
AppsFlyerLib.getInstance().start(this);

Where to find API key: First argument to .init() — the dev key string.

Event Tracking

Map<String, Object> eventValues = new HashMap<>();
eventValues.put(AFInAppEventParameterName.REVENUE, 1200);
eventValues.put(AFInAppEventParameterName.CURRENCY, "USD");
AppsFlyerLib.getInstance().logEvent(context, AFInAppEventType.PURCHASE, eventValues);

User Identity

AppsFlyerLib.getInstance().setCustomerUserId("user_id");
AppsFlyerLib.getInstance().setAdditionalData(customData);

Consent

AppsFlyerLib.getInstance().anonymizeUser(true);
AppsFlyerLib.getInstance().stop(true, context); // full opt-out

---

Mixpanel

Initialization

MixpanelAPI mixpanel = MixpanelAPI.getInstance(context, "MIXPANEL_TOKEN");

Where to find token: First string argument to getInstance().

Event Tracking

JSONObject props = new JSONObject();
props.put("source", "search");
mixpanel.track("Button Clicked", props);
mixpanel.timeEvent("Time On Page"); // starts timer
mixpanel.track("Time On Page"); // ends timer, records duration

User Identity

mixpanel.identify("user_id");
mixpanel.alias("new_id", "existing_id");
mixpanel.getPeople().set("$email", "user@example.com");
mixpanel.getPeople().increment("login_count", 1);

Consent

mixpanel.optOutTracking(); // full opt-out
mixpanel.optInTracking();  // re-enable

---

Amplitude

Initialization

// v1 (legacy)
Amplitude.getInstance().initialize(context, "API_KEY").enableForegroundTracking(application);
// v2 (kotlin-first)
val amplitude = Amplitude(Configuration(apiKey = "API_KEY", context = applicationContext))

Where to find API key: Argument to initialize() or Configuration().

Event Tracking

Amplitude.getInstance().logEvent("button_clicked");
Amplitude.getInstance().logEvent("purchase", new JSONObject().put("price", 9.99));
Amplitude.getInstance().logRevenue(new Revenue().setProductId("product").setPrice(9.99));

User Identity

Amplitude.getInstance().setUserId("user_id");
Identify identify = new Identify().set("plan", "premium").add("login_count", 1);
Amplitude.getInstance().identify(identify);

Consent

Amplitude.getInstance().setOptOut(true);
Amplitude.getInstance().enableCoppaControl(); // COPPA

---

Segment

Initialization

Analytics analytics = new Analytics.Builder(context, "WRITE_KEY")
    .trackApplicationLifecycleEvents()
    .build();
Analytics.setSingletonInstance(analytics);

Where to find write key: Second argument to Analytics.Builder().

Event Tracking

Analytics.with(context).track("Item Purchased",
    new Properties().putValue("item", "sword").putValue("revenue", 9.99));
Analytics.with(context).screen("Home", new Properties().putValue("tab", "feed"));

User Identity

Analytics.with(context).identify("user_id",
    new Traits().putName("John").putEmail("john@example.com"), null);
Analytics.with(context).alias("new_id");

Consent

Analytics.with(context).optOut(true);

---

Braze

Initialization

BrazeConfig brazeConfig = new BrazeConfig.Builder()
    .setApiKey("API_KEY")
    .setCustomEndpoint("sdk.iad-01.braze.com")
    .build();
Braze.configure(context, brazeConfig);

Where to find API key: .setApiKey() and .setCustomEndpoint() in the config builder.

Event & Purchase Logging

Braze.getInstance(context).logCustomEvent("event_name", new BrazeProperties().addProperty("key", "value"));
Braze.getInstance(context).logPurchase("product_id", "USD", new BigDecimal("9.99"));

User Identity

Braze.getInstance(context).changeUser("user_id");
Braze.getInstance(context).getCurrentUser().setEmail("user@example.com");
Braze.getInstance(context).getCurrentUser().setCustomUserAttribute("attr", "value");

---

Initialization

CleverTapAPI clevertapDefaultInstance = CleverTapAPI.getDefaultInstance(applicationContext);
// Auto-init via manifest meta-data: CLEVERTAP_ACCOUNT_ID, CLEVERTAP_TOKEN
ActivityLifecycleCallback.register(application);

Where to find credentials: Manifest <meta-data> tags: CLEVERTAP_ACCOUNT_ID, CLEVERTAP_TOKEN.

Event Tracking

HashMap<String, Object> props = new HashMap<>();
props.put("Product Name", "Widget");
