Quick Start Guide
Check out our official documentation for more in depth information on installing and using Mixpanel on Android.
Installation
Dependencies in app/build.gradle
Add the following lines to the dependencies section in app/build.gradle
implementation "com.mixpanel.android:mixpanel-android:5.+"
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.3.4" // optional, if push notifications are used
implementation "com.android.installreferrer:installreferrer:1.1" // optional, if you want to know how users installed your app
Permissions in app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
<!-- This permission is required to allow the application to send events and properties to Mixpanel -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<!-- This permission is optional but recommended so we can be smart about when to send data -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<!-- This permission is optional but recommended so events will contain information about bluetooth state -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
Integration
Initialization
Initialize Mixpanel in your main activity app/src/main/java/com/mixpanel/example/myapplication/MainActivity.java. Usually this should be done in onCreate.
String projectToken = YOUR_PROJECT_TOKEN; // e.g.: "1ef7e30d2a58d27f4b90c42e31d6d7ad"
MixpanelAPI mixpanel = MixpanelAPI.getInstance(this, projectToken);
Remember to replace YOUR_PROJECT_TOKEN with the token provided to you on mixpanel.com.
Tracking
After installing the library into your Android app, Mixpanel will automatically collect common mobile events. You can enable/ disable automatic collection through your project settings.
With the mixpanel object created in the last step a call to track is all you need to send additional events to Mixpanel.
mixpanel.track("Event name no props")
JSONObject props = new JSONObject();
props.put("Prop name", "Prop value");
props.put("Prop 2", "Value 2");
mixpanel.track("Event name", props);
