Android methods

Android methods for Xamarin components for Experience Cloud solutions 4.x SDK.

Configuration methods

DebugLogging

Returns the current debug logging preference, and the default is false.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
public static Boolean DebugLogging;
```
- Here is the code sample for this method:

```
var version = ADBMobile.Version;
```
PauseCollectingLifecycleData

Indicates to the SDK that your app is paused, so that lifecycle metrics are calculated correctly. For example, on pause collects a timestamp to determine previous session length. This also sets a flag so that lifecycle correctly knows that the app did not crash. For more information, see Lifecycle Metrics.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
public static void PauseCollectingLifecycleData (); 
```
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
Config.PauseCollectingLifecycleData();

Java.Lang.Object> ();
context.Add ("key", "value");
Config.CollectLifecycleData (this, context);

```
public static void SetLargeIconResourceId( int resourceId);
```
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
Config.SetLargeIconResourceId(R.drawable.appIcon);

```
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
 Config.SetSmallIconResourceId(R.drawable.appIcon);

Analytics methods

TrackingIdentifier

Returns the automatically generated ID for Analytics. This is an app-specific unique ID that is generated on initial launch and is stored and used from that point forward. This ID is preserved between app upgrades and is removed on uninstall.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
public static string TrackingIdentifier;
```
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
Var trackingId = Analytics.TrackingIdentifier
```
TrackState

Tracks an app state with optional context data. States are the views that are available in your app, such as "title screen", "level 1", "pause", and so on. These states are similar to pages on a website, and TrackState calls increment page views. If state is empty, it displays as "app name app version (build)" in reports. If you see this value in reports, make sure you are setting state in each TrackState call.

Tip: This is the only tracking call that increments page views.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
public static void TrackState (string state, IDictionary<string, Object> cdata); 
```
- Here is the code sample for this method:

Analytics.TrackState ("stateName", (IDictionary<string, 
Java.Lang.Object>)cdata);
```
TrackAction

Tracks an action in your app. Actions are the things that happen in your app that you want to measure, such as "deaths", "level gained", "feed subscriptions", and other metrics.

Tip: If you have code that might run while the app is in the background (for example, a background data retrieval), use trackActionFromBackground instead.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
public static void TrackAction(string action, IDictionary<string,Object> cdata); 
```
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
var cdata = new Dictionary<string, Java.Lang.Object> (); 
cdata.Add ("key", (Java.Lang.Object)"value");
Analytics.TrackAction ("actionName", (IDictionary<string, 
Java.Lang.Object>)cdata);
```
TrackLocation

Sends the current latitude and longitude coordinates. Also uses points of interest defined in the ADBMobileConfig.json file to determine whether the location that was provided as a parameter is in any of your POIs. If the current coordinates are in a defined POI, a context data variable is populated and sent with the TrackLocation call.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
public static void TrackLocation(Location location, IDictionary<string, Object> cdata); 
```
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
 Location loc = new Location(LocationManager.GpsProvider);;
 loc.Latitude = 111; 
 loc.Longitude = 44; 
 loc.Accuracy = 5; 
 Analytics.TrackLocation (loc, null);
```

TrackBeacon

Tracks when a users enters proximity of a beacon.

Here is the syntax for this method:

public static void TrackBeacon (string uuid, string major, string minor,  Analytics.BEACON_PROXIMITY prox, IDictionary<string, Object> cdata);

Analytics.BEACON_PROXIMITY.ProximityImmediate, null);

ClearBeacon

Clears beacons data after a user leaves the proximity of the beacon.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
public static void TrackingClearCurrentBeacon();
```

```
Analytics.ClearBeacon();

public static void TrackLifetimeValueIncrease (double amount, IDictionary<string,Object> cdata);

Here is the code sample for this method:

Analytics.TrackLifetimeValueIncrease(5,null);

TrackTimedActionStart

Start a timed action with name action. If you call this method for an action that has already started, the previous timed action is overwritten.

Tip: This call does not send a hit.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
public static void TrackTimedActionStart(string action,IDictionary<string, Object> cdata); 
```
- Here is code sample for this method:
```
Analytics.TrackTimedActionStart("level2", null);
```
TrackTimedActionUpdate

Pass in data to update the context data that is associated with the given action. The data passed in is appended to the existing data for the given action, and overwrites the data if the same key is already defined for action.

Tip: This call does not send a hit.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
public static void TrackTimedActionUpdate(string action, IDictionary<string, Object> cdata); 
```
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
var updatedData = new Dictionary<string, Java.Lang.Object> (); 
cdata.Add ("key", (Java.Lang.Object)"value"); 
Analytics.TrackTimedActionUpdate("level2", updatedData); 
```
