Parse.ly Android SDK Migration Guide

This document acts as a guide for migration, detailing every breaking change that occurs between major versions of the Parse.ly Android SDK.

Upgrading to version 4.x

When migrating to version 4.x of the Parse.ly Android SDK, you will encounter several changes that may require updates to your codebase. The following list details these breaking changes and recommended actions:

Removed initialization ParselyTracker#sharedInstance methods

Previously, the SDK was initialized ParselyTracker#sharedInstance method, which should be replaced with ParselyTracker#init method:

ParselyTracker.sharedInstance("example.com", 30, this, true) // before

ParselyTracker.init("example.com", 30, this, true) // now

Without prior initialization, the SDK will now throw ParselyNotInitializedException when accessing ParselyTracker#sharedInstance.

Action required: Update how the Parsely SDK is initialized and accessed as presented above.

Removed methods or access restriction

The following methods are no longer accessible from the ParselyTracker class:

  • engagementIsActive
  • flushEventQueue
  • flushTimerIsActive
  • getDebug
  • getEngagementInterval
  • getFlushInterval
  • getVideoEngagementInterval
  • queueSize
  • stopFlushTimer
  • storedEventsCount
  • videoIsActive

Also, toMap methods are no longer available for API consumers:

  • ParselyMetadata#toMap
  • ParselyVideoMetadata#toMap

Action required: Those methods aren't needed to use the SDK. Remove any code segments that interact with them.

Restricted access to internal API connection

ParselyAPIConnection, which might have been previously used for direct API interactions, is no longer accessible to the API consumer.

Action required: Remove any code segments that interact with ParselyAPIConnection as this class is now an implementation detail of the SDK.

Non-nullable urlRef parameters

Parameters that were previously nullable when calling various tracking methods are now non-nullable.

  • In the ParselyTracker class, the urlRef parameter in the following methods requires a string value:
    • trackPageview
    • startEngagement
    • trackPlay

Action required: When calling these methods, ensure you provide a valid string. If there is no value available, pass an empty string "" instead of null.

Debug configuration change

Configuring the debug mode during the SDK initialization has been simplified to a "dry run" mode flag.

  • The method ParselyTracker#setDebug is no longer available.

Action required: To enable debug mode, when initializing the ParselyTracker, set the dryRun property to true.

For clarification on any of these changes or assistance with migrating your code to the latest version of the Parse.ly Android SDK, please contact our support team at support@parsely.com or open a GitHub issue.
