The AppEventsLogger class allows the developer to log various types of events back to Facebook. In order to log events, the app must create an instance of this class via a newLogger.newLogger method, and then call the various "log" methods off of that.
This client-side event logging is then available through Facebook App Insights and for use with Facebook Ads conversion tracking and optimization.
The AppEventsLogger class has a few related roles:
Logging predefined and application-defined events to Facebook App Insights with a numeric value to sum across a large number of events, and an optional set of key/value parameters that define "segments" for this event (e.g., 'purchaserStatus' : 'frequent', or 'gamerLevel' : 'intermediate'). These events may also be used for ads conversion tracking, optimization, and other ads related targeting in the future.
Methods that control the way in which events are flushed out to the Facebook servers.
Here are some important characteristics of the logging mechanism provided by AppEventsLogger:
Events are not sent immediately when logged. They're cached and flushed out to the Facebook servers in a number of situations:
when an event count threshold is passed (currently 100 logged events). when a time threshold is passed (currently 60 seconds). when an app has gone to background and is then brought back to the foreground.
Events will be accumulated when the app is in a disconnected state, and sent when the connection is restored and one of the above 'flush' conditions are met.
The AppEventsLogger class is intended to be used from the thread it was created on. Multiple AppEventsLoggers may be created on other threads if desired.
The developer can call the setFlushBehavior method to force the flushing of events to only
occur on an explicit call to the flush method.
The developer can turn on console debug output for event logging and flushing to the server Settings.addLoggingBehavior(LoggingBehavior.APP_EVENTS);
Some things to note when logging events:
There is a limit on the number of unique event names an app can use, on the order of 300.
There is a limit to the number of unique parameter names in the provided parameters that can be used per event, on the order of 10. This is not just for an individual call, but for all invocations for that eventName.
Event names and parameter names (the keys in the NSDictionary) must be between 2 and 40 characters, and must consist of alphanumeric characters, _, -, or spaces.
The length of each parameter value can be no more than on the order of 100 characters.

activateApp(Context)Notifies the events system that the app has launched & logs an activatedApp event. Should be called whenever your app becomes active, typically in the onResume() method of each long-running Activity of your app.
Use this method if your application ID is stored in application metadata, otherwise see AppEventsLogger.activateApp(android.content.Context, String).

getFlushBehavior()Access the behavior that AppEventsLogger uses to determine when to flush logged events to the server. This setting applies to all instances of AppEventsLogger.

onContextStop()Call this when the consuming Activity/Fragment receives an onStop() callback in order to persist any outstanding events to disk, so they may be flushed at a later time. The next flush (explicit or not) will check for any outstanding events and, if present, include them in that flush. Note that this call may trigger an I/O operation on the calling thread. Explicit use of this method is not necessary if the consumer is making use of UiLifecycleHelper, which will take care of making the call in its own onStop() callback.
public static void onContextStop() logEvent(String)Log an app event with the specified name.
public void logEvent(String eventName) | المعلمة | الوصف |
|---|---|
eventName | EventName used to denote the event. Choose amongst the EVENT_NAME_* constants in AppEventsConstants when possible. Or create your own if none of the EVENT_NAME_* constants are applicable. Event names should be 40 characters or less, alphanumeric, and can include spaces, underscores or hyphens, but mustn't have a space or hyphen as the first character. Any given app should have no more than ~300 distinct event names. |

You can log on the order of 10 parameters with each distinct eventName. It's advisable to keep the number of unique values provided for each parameter in the, at most, thousands. As an example, don't attempt to provide a unique parameter value for each unique user in your app. You won't get meaningful aggregate reporting on so many parameter values. The values in the bundles should be Strings or numeric values. |
