Check out our official documentation for more in depth information on installing and using Mixpanel on Android.
Add Mixpanel and Google Play Services to the dependencies section in app/build.gradle
compile "com.mixpanel.android:mixpanel-android:5.+"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:7.5.0+"<!-- 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" />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.
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);No worries, here are some links that you will find useful:
