PhoneGap plug-in methods

You can use iOS PhoneGap Plug-in methods to complete a variety of tasks.

In html files where you want to use tracking, add the following to the <head> tag:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="ADB_Helper.js"></script>

Configuration methods

getPrivacyStatus

Returns the privacy status for current user. Here are the available statuses:
- ADB.optedIn, where hits are sent immediately.
- ADB.optedOut, where hits are discarded.
- ADB.optUnknownIf your report suite is timestamp-enabled, hits are saved until the privacy status changes to opt-in (hits are sent) or opt-out (hits are discarded). If your report suite is not timestamp-enabled, hits are discarded until the privacy status changes to opt in.
  The default value is set in the ADBMobileConfig.json file.
  - Here is the code sample for this method:
```
getPrivacyStatus(function (value){myTempVal = value;},function(){myTempVal = null;});
```
setPrivacyStatus

Sets the privacy status for the current user to status. You can set one of the following statuses:
- ADB.optedIn, where hits are sent immediately.
- ADB.optedOut, where hits are discarded.
- ADB.optUnknown - If your report suite is timestamp-enabled, hits are saved until the privacy status changes to opt-in (hits are sent) or opt-out (hits are discarded).
  
  If your report suite is not timestamp-enabled, hits are discarded until the privacy status changes to opt in.
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
  ADB.setPrivacyStatus('ADB.optedIn'); 
```
getLifetimeValue

Returns the lifetime value of the current user. The default value is 0.
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
ADB.getLifetimeValue(function(value){myTempVal = value;},function(){myTempVal = null;});
```
setDebugLogging

Enables (true) or disables (false) viewing debug information. By default, this variable is false.
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
ADB.setDebugLogging(true);
```

getVersion

Gets the library version.

Here is the code sample for this method:

ADB.getVersion(function(value){versionNum = value;},function(){versionNum=1.0;});

trackingIdentifier

Returns the automatically generated visitor identifier. This is an app-specific unique visitor ID that is generated when the app is initially launched and is stored and used from that point forward. This ID is preserved between app upgrades, and is removed when the app is uninstalled.

Tip: If your app upgrades from the Experience Cloud 3.x to 4.x SDK, the previous visitor ID (custom or automatically generated) is retrieved and stored as the custom user identifier (see getUserIdentifier below). This preserves visitor data between upgrades of the SDK. For new installations on the 4.x SDK, the user identifier is null, and tracking identifier is used.
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
 ADB.trackingIdentifier(function(value){myTempVal = value;},function(){myTempVal = null;}); 
```
getUserIdentifier

Returns the custom user identifier if a custom identifier has been set, and returns null if a custom identifier has not been set. The default value is null.
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
getUserIdentifier(function(value){myTempVal = value;},function(){myTempVal = null;}); 
```
setUserIdentifier

Sets the user identifier to identifier.
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
ADB.setUserIdentifier('testUser');
```

setPushIdentifier

Sets the device token for push notifications.

Here is the syntax for this method:

ADB.setPushIdentifier(pushIdentifier,success,fail);

Here is the code sample for this method:

ADB.setPushIdentifier('test_push_identifier',function(value){alert('success');},function(value){alert('fail');

keepLifecycleSessionAlive

Sets the preference of lifecycle session keep alive.

Important: Calling keepLifecycleSessionAlive prevents your app from launching a new session the next time it is resumed from background. You should only use this method if your app registers for notifications in the background.
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
ADB.keepLifecycleSessionAlive();
```
trackingSendQueuedHits

Forces the library to send all queued hits regardless of current batch options.
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
ADB.trackingSendQueuedHits();
```
trackingGetQueueSize

Gets or sets the number of stored tracking calls in the offline queue.
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
ADB.trackingGetQueueSize(function(value){myTempVal = value;},function(){myTempVal = null;}); 
```
trackingClearQueue

Removes all stored tracking calls from the offline queue.

Caution: Use caution when clearing the queue manually as it cannot be reversed.
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
ADB.trackingClearQueue(function(value){myTempVal = value;},function(){myTempVal = null;}); 
```
keepLifecycleSessionAlive

Indicates to the SDK that your next resume from background should not start a new session, regardless of the value of lifecycle session timeout in your config file.

Important: Important: this method is intended to be used for apps that register for notifications while in background and should only be called from your code that runs while your app is in the background.
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
ADB.keepLifecycleSessionAlive();
```
collectLifecycleData

Indicates to the SDK that lifecycle data should be collected for use across all solutions in the SDK. For more information, see Lifecycle metrics.
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
ADB.collectLifecycleData(); 
```

PII methods

Tracking methods

trackAdobeDeepLink

Tracks an Adobe Deep Link click-through.

Tip: If the Lifecycle call is a launch event, the Adobe Link data will be appended, otherwise an extra call will be sent.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
ADB.trackAdobeDeepLink(deeplinkURL,success,fail);
```
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```

trackState

Tracks an app state with optional context data. States are the views that are available in your app, such as home dashboard, app settings, cart, and so on. These states are similar to pages on a website, and trackState calls increment page views. cData is a JSON object with key-value pairs to send in context data.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
ADB.trackState(stringstateName[,JSONcData]); 
```
- Here are the code samples for this method:
```

```
ADB.trackAction(stringaction[,JSONcData]);
```
- Here are the code samples for this method:
```
ADB.trackAction("login");
```
```
ADB.trackAction("login",{"user":"john","remember":"true"})
```
trackActionFromBackground

Tracks an action that occurred in the background. This suppresses lifecycle events from firing in certain scenarios.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```

```
- Here are the code samples for this method:
```
ADB.trackActionFromBackground("login");
```
```

```
trackLocation

Sends the current x and y coordinates. Also uses the points of interest that were defined in the ADBMobileConfig.json file to determine if the location provided as a parameter is within any of your POIs. If the current coordinates are within a defined POI, a context data variable is populated and sent with the trackLocation call.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
 ADB.trackLocation(x,y[,JSONcData]);
```
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
ADB.trackLocation('40.431596','-111.893713');
```
trackLifetimeValueIncrease

Adds amount to the user's lifetime value.
- Here is the syntax for this method:

```
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
ADB.trackLifetimeValueIncrease('10.01');
```

Tip: This call does not send a hit.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
ADB.trackTimedActionStart(action[,JSONcData]);
```
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
ADB.trackTimedActionStart("cartToCheckout"); 
```
trackTimedActionUpdate

Pass in cData to update the context data associated with the given action. The cData passed in is appended to the existing data for the given action, and overwrites the data if the same key is already defined for action.

Tip: This call does not send a hit.
- Here is the syntax for this method:
```
ADB.trackTimedActionUpdate(Stringaction[,JSONcData]);
```
- Here is the code sample for this method:
```
ADB.trackTimedActionUpdate("cartToCheckout",{'SampleContextDataKey3':'SampleContextDataVal3','SampleContextDataKey4':'SampleContextDataVal4'}); 
```
