Set up Analytics backend

• Run the following command in your project’s root folder. The CLI will prompt configuration options for the Analytics category such as Amazon Pinpoint resource name and analytics event settings.

  amplify add analytics

  ? Select an Analytics provider (Use arrow keys) Amazon Pinpoint ? Provide your pinpoint resource name: yourPinpointResourceName ? Apps need authorization to send analytics events. Do you want to allow guests and unauthenticated users to send analytics events? (we recommend you allow this when getting started) Yes

• To deploy your backend, run:

    amplify push
  

Install Amplify Libraries

• Expand Gradle Scripts, open build.gradle (Module: app). You will already have configured Amplify by following the steps in the Project Setup walkthrough.

• Add Analytics by adding these libraries into the dependencies block:

    dependencies {
        // Add these lines in `dependencies`
        implementation 'com.amplifyframework:aws-analytics-pinpoint:1.29.0'
        implementation 'com.amplifyframework:aws-auth-cognito:1.29.0'
    }

Initialize Amplify Analytics

• Add the following code to your onCreate() method in your application class:

    Amplify.addPlugin(new AWSCognitoAuthPlugin());
    Amplify.addPlugin(new AWSPinpointAnalyticsPlugin(this));
  

Record events

• To record an event, create an AnalyticsEvent and call Amplify.Analytics.recordEvent() to send it:

    AnalyticsEvent event = AnalyticsEvent.builder()
        .name("PasswordReset")
        .addProperty("Channel", "SMS")
        .addProperty("Successful", true)
        .addProperty("ProcessDuration", 792)
        .addProperty("UserAge", 120.3)
        .build();
  
    Amplify.Analytics.recordEvent(event);
  

View Analytics console

• From the terminal run the following command.

    amplify console analytics
