This section helps app developers understand how the Mobile Services SDKs for Android interact with Adobe Profile Extension.

Usage Examples for Profile in Android

Creating a user attribute

For example, you want to update the userID of a user that was obtained in the log in page:

UserProfile.updateUserAttribute("userID","Tustin_Jimberlake");

Creating a Batch of User Attributes

For example, a video streaming service wants to store the details of the user's last watched video:

HashMap<String, Object> lastSeenVideo = new HashMap<>();
lastSeenVideo.put("VideoName","Unbreaking Good");
lastSeenVideo.put("Episode",5);
lastSeenVideo.put("DidComplete",false); 
UserProfile.updateUserAttributes(lastSeenVideo);

Updating a User Attribute

Updating a user attribute can be done by calling the public API with the update value for the same key.

For example, a music service wants to update the user type from unsubscribed to premium:

// Creating a user attribute
UserProfile.updateUserAttribute("UserType","Unsubscribed"); 

// Updating a user attribute
UserProfile.updateUserAttribute("UserType","Premium");

Removing User Attribute

To remove an user attribute that has been already set, select one of the following options:

  • Option 1: Use the removeUserAttribute API with the attribute key that needs to be removed.
  • Option 2: Update the user attribute key with a nil/null value.

For example, a retail appilication wants to remove the itemsAddedToCart user data after the product is purchased:

// Creating a user attribute
UserProfile.updateUserAttribute("itemsAddedToCart","Book: Learn C++ in 5 days");

// Deleting a user attribute
UserProfile.removeUserAttribute("itemsAddedToCart");
UserProfile.updateUserAttribute("itemsAddedToCart", null);
