This documentation will help you to install the Arise Android client in your application.
First, download the Arise library jar file and drag it inside your project’s /libs/ folder.
In your project, right click on AndroidManifest.xml Click on Open With/Android Common XML Editor. Add after the <uses-sdk .... /> tag:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
In the onCreate function of your main activity, you need to initialize the framework:
// Initialize the arise library
String authKey = "9c51b5e8f06ebd26728f29954365098f052c68c8";
Arise.initialize(getApplicationContext(), authKey);
Replace the value of authKey by your own key. You can find in your dashboard.
When you plan to run the experiment, you will need to call the getVariationWithListener with the experiment name (same as the one displayed in your dashboard) to get the experiment data:
// Get and setup the variation
ABTest.getVariationWithListener("Experiment1", VariationListener() {
@Override
public void onVariationAvailable(String value) {
final String buyMessage = value;
}
});
Now that you have setup your application for testing, you will need to record views and conversion events. You need to pass the experiment name as a parameter to associate the events with an experiment.
Record a view:
ABTest.recordView("Experiment1");
Record a conversion:
ABTest.recordConversion("Experiment1");
package com.example.shoestore;
import io.arise.ABTest;
import io.arise.Arise;
import io.arise.VariationListener;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Initialize the arise library
String authKey = "9c51b5e8f06ebd26728f29954365098f052c68c8";
Arise.initialize(getApplicationContext(), authKey);
// Get and setup the variation
ABTest.getVariationWithListener("Experiment1", new VariationListener() {
@Override
public void onVariationAvailable(String value) {
// Change the button label
final String buyMessage = value;
// Use the buyMessage to customize our application
// ...
}
});
}
private void onLoadPurchasePage(){
// the user is viewing the item purchase page
// record a view event
ABTest.recordView("Experiment1");
}
private void onPurchaseCompleted(){
// the user has bought the item
// record a conversion event
ABTest.recordConversion("Experiment1");
}
}
The Arise Android SDK supports Android 2.3.3 (API level 10) and later.
