Returns the types of extended logging that are currently enabled.

public static final Set getLoggingBehaviors()
Returns
A set containing enabled logging behaviors
addLoggingBehavior(LoggingBehavior)

Certain logging behaviors are available for debugging beyond those that should be enabled in production.

Enables a particular extended logging in the sdk.

public static final void addLoggingBehavior(LoggingBehavior behavior)
ParameterDescription
behaviorThe LoggingBehavior to enable
removeLoggingBehavior(LoggingBehavior)

Certain logging behaviors are available for debugging beyond those that should be enabled in production.

Disables a particular extended logging behavior in the sdk.

public static final void removeLoggingBehavior(LoggingBehavior behavior)
ParameterDescription
behaviorThe LoggingBehavior to disable
clearLoggingBehaviors()

Certain logging behaviors are available for debugging beyond those that should be enabled in production.

Disables all extended logging behaviors.

public static final void clearLoggingBehaviors()
isLoggingBehaviorEnabled(LoggingBehavior)

Certain logging behaviors are available for debugging beyond those that should be enabled in production.

Checks if a particular extended logging behavior is enabled.

public static final boolean isLoggingBehaviorEnabled(LoggingBehavior behavior)
ParameterDescription
behaviorThe LoggingBehavior to check
Returns
Whether behavior is enabled
getExecutor()

Returns the Executor used by the SDK for non-AsyncTask background work.

By default this uses AsyncTask Executor via reflection if the API level is high enough. Otherwise this creates a new Executor with defaults similar to those used in AsyncTask.

public static Executor getExecutor()
Returns
An Executor used by the SDK. This will never be null.
setExecutor(Executor)

Sets the Executor used by the SDK for non-AsyncTask background work.

public static void setExecutor(Executor executor)
ParameterDescription
executorThe Executor to use; must not be null.
getFacebookDomain()

Gets the base Facebook domain to use when making Web requests; in production code this will always be "facebook.com".

public static String getFacebookDomain()
Returns
The Facebook domain
setFacebookDomain(String)

Sets the base Facebook domain to use when making Web requests. This defaults to "facebook.com", but may be overridden to, e.g., "beta.facebook.com" to direct requests at a different domain. This method should never be called from production code.

public static void setFacebookDomain(String facebookDomain)
ParameterDescription
facebookDomainThe base domain to use instead of "facebook.com"
publishInstallAsync(Context, String)

Manually publish install attribution to the Facebook graph. Internally handles tracking repeat calls to prevent multiple installs being published to the graph.

public static void publishInstallAsync(Context context, String applicationId)
ParameterDescription
contextThe current Context
applicationIdThe fb application being published. This method is deprecated. See AppEventsLogger.activateApp(Context, String) for more info.
publishInstallAsync(Context, String, Callback)

Manually publish install attribution to the Facebook graph. Internally handles tracking repeat calls to prevent multiple installs being published to the graph.

public static void publishInstallAsync(Context context, String applicationId, Callback callback)
ParameterDescription
contextThe current Context
applicationIdThe fb application being published.
callbackA callback to invoke with a Response object, carrying the server response, or an error. This method is deprecated. See AppEventsLogger.activateApp(Context, String) for more info.
setShouldAutoPublishInstall(boolean)

Sets whether opening a Session should automatically publish install attribution to the Facebook graph.

public static void setShouldAutoPublishInstall(boolean shouldAutoPublishInstall)
ParameterDescription
shouldAutoPublishInstallTrue to automatically publish, false to not This method is deprecated. See AppEventsLogger.activateApp(Context, String) for more info.
getShouldAutoPublishInstall()

Gets whether opening a Session should automatically publish install attribution to the Facebook graph.

public static boolean getShouldAutoPublishInstall()
Returns
True to automatically publish, false to not This method is deprecated. See <a href='AppEventsLogger#activateApp(Context, String)'>AppEventsLogger.activateApp(Context, String)</a> for more info.
publishInstallAndWait(Context, String)

Manually publish install attribution to the Facebook graph. Internally handles tracking repeat calls to prevent multiple installs being published to the graph.

public static boolean publishInstallAndWait(Context context, String applicationId)
ParameterDescription
contextThe current Context
applicationIdThe fb application being published.
Returns
Returns false on error. Applications should retry until true is returned. Safe to call again after true is returned. This method is deprecated. See <a href='AppEventsLogger#activateApp(Context, String)'>AppEventsLogger.activateApp(Context, String)</a> for more info.
publishInstallAndWaitForResponse(Context, String)

Manually publish install attribution to the Facebook graph. Internally handles caching repeat calls to prevent multiple installs being published to the graph.

public static Response publishInstallAndWaitForResponse(Context context, String applicationId)
ParameterDescription
contextThe current Context
applicationIdThe fb application being published.
Returns
Returns a Response object, carrying the server response, or an error. This method is deprecated. See <a href='AppEventsLogger#activateApp(Context, String)'>AppEventsLogger.activateApp(Context, String)</a> for more info.
getAttributionId(ContentResolver)

Acquire the current attribution id from the facebook app.

public static String getAttributionId(ContentResolver contentResolver)
ParameterDescription
contentResolver
Returns
Returns null if the facebook app is not present on the phone.
getAppVersion()

Gets the application version to the provided string.

public static String getAppVersion()
Returns
Application version set via setAppVersion.

getLimitEventAndDataUsage(Context)

Gets whether data such as that generated through AppEventsLogger and sent to Facebook should be restricted from being used for purposes other than analytics and conversions, such as for targeting ads to this user. Defaults to false. This value is stored on the device and persists across app launches.

ParameterDescription
contextUsed to read the value.
setLimitEventAndDataUsage(Context, boolean)
