Unable to get the custom event details in-depth through connect api

Follow

Hi Chnakaya,

Would you mind posting the details of how you implemented Custom Events in your app in addition to the full response you received from the Connect stream?

Hi Michael Halka,

I follows like below

Inside my android app:

public void onClick(View view) {

System.out.println("btnEvent is called ");

// Create and name an event
CustomEvent event = new CustomEvent.Builder("consumed_content").setEventValue(123.12).create();

// Then record it
UAirship.shared().getAnalytics().addEvent(event);

}

In Connect Stream response:

eventBody=CustomEvent{name='consumed_content', value=Optional.absent(), interactionId=Optional.absent(), interactionType='null', lastDelivered=Optional.of(com.urbanairship.connect.client.model.responses.AssociatedPush@b436531), triggeringPush=Optional.absent(), sessionId=Optional.absent()}

From above response stream I was unable get the Event Name i.e,"consumed_content" through Java Connect API

Chnakaya,

I'm seeing the name of the event here:

eventBody=CustomEvent{name='consumed_content',...

As described in the Custom Event response object, some of the values may be absent. Since it appears these events are not occurring from a push event, it makes sense that the rest of the attributes are absent from your response.

For testing, you may instead try adding a custom event when a push notification is tapped on from the Notification Tray. You would do this inside the callback for when the notification is interacted with. You should see more info come across for the Custom Event.

Hi Michael Halka,

From Custom event response I am able to get the below details only through Connect Client Library
event.getEventBody();
event.getEventBody().getType();

I was unable to get the below details of custom event through Connect Client Library
name, value, interactionId, interactionType and etc..

Chnakaya,

Just to clarify, you mean to say that when you make the following calls in your Connect Client:

parsedCustomEvent.getName()

parsedCustomEvent.getValue().get()

parsedCustomEvent.getInteractionId()

That it is not returning anything, is that correct?

Hi Michael Halka,

I able to get the custom event information through connect API.

Below Is the response custom event information:

{identifier='59c39bb1-32e5-11e6-badf-90e2ba025ad8', eventType=CUSTOM, occurred=2016-06-15T10:37:39.491Z, processed=2016-06-15T10:38:53.165Z, offset='8132', deviceInfo=Optional.of(DeviceInfo{channelId='b799a1c1-7b5b-4fab-bce3-ff01ff4ac65f', platform=ANDROID, namedUsedId=Optional.absent(), attributes={}, identifiers={locale_variant=, app_version=1.0, device_model=XT1033, connection_type=WIFI, app_package_name=com.example.srinivas.vidyayugtest, iana_timezone=Asia/Kolkata, push_opt_in=true, locale_country_code=AU, device_os=5.1, locale_timezone=19800, carrier=!dea, locale_language_code=en, location_enabled=false, background_push_enabled=true, ua_sdk_version=7.0.4, location_permission=NOT_ALLOWED}}), eventBody=CustomEvent{name='consumed_content', value=Optional.of(123.12), interactionId=Optional.absent(), interactionType='null', lastDelivered=Optional.of(com.urbanairship.connect.client.model.responses.AssociatedPush@edd275a1), triggeringPush=Optional.absent(), sessionId=Optional.absent()}}

From above response I was unable to get the custom event body information through connect api.

Hi Chnakaya,

I'm not sure I understand your response. In the response you posted, you bolded the section that details the Custom Event Body, however you are claiming you are unable to get the custom event body. 

The Custom Event Body is shown in the response you posted.

HI Michael Halka,

I able get the above total response through below statement of custom event
Statement: event.toString()

I able get the custom EventBody response details through below statement

Statement: event.getEventBody().toString()
Response:
CustomEvent{name='consumed_content', value=Optional.of(123.12), interactionId=Optional.absent(), interactionType='null', lastDelivered=Optional.of(com.urbanairship.connect.client.model.responses.AssociatedPush@edd275a1), triggeringPush=Optional.absent(), sessionId=Optional.absent()}

I was unable to get the name, value, interactionId, interactionType details of EventBody response?
What is the api to get the internal details of Custom EventBody?

Hi Chnakaya,

 Okay, so you're not looking for an API to get that information. You're looking for a specific Java Method to get that information.

Now, the Connect Java Library is open-source, so you can access the code.

Specifically, you can take a look at the Custom Event Response here

In there, you can see the Java Methods you can use to access the various properties of the Custom Event response that is returned to you.
