SDK Initialization

Initialize the MoEngage Android SDK in your Application class using your Workspace ID and data center.

SDK Configuration

Get the Workspace ID from the Settings Page of the dashboard Dashboard —> Settings —> App —> General on the MoEngage dashboard and initialize the MoEngage SDK in the Application class onCreate().

Updated in SDK version 15.00.00 Starting this version, the SDK throws an IllegalStateException if any API is invoked before the SDK is initialized. Ensure MoEngage.initialiseDefaultInstance() is called in Application.onCreate() before invoking any other SDK APIs. For details, see the release notes.

Note Initialize the SDK on the main thread inside onCreate() and not create a worker thread and initialize the SDK on that thread.

Updated in SDK version 15.00.00 The Java MoEngage.Builder constructor now accepts a String for the data center instead of a DataCenter enum object. Update your Java initialization code as shown below. This change does not affect Kotlin. For details, see the release notes.

Kotlin

import com.moengage.core.DataCenter
import com.moengage.core.MoEngage

val moEngage = MoEngage.Builder(this, "YOUR_Workspace_ID", DataCenter.DATA_CENTER_X)
                     .build()
//replace X with your data center number
MoEngage.initialiseDefaultInstance(moEngage)

Portfolio (Optional)

In your MoEngage account, if your portfolio is configured with multiple projects, use the methods as shown below.

Kotlin

val moEngage = MoEngage.Builder(this, "YOUR_Workspace_ID", DataCenter.DATA_CENTER_X)
              .configureProject(ProjectConfig("<YOUR ProjectID>"))
              .build()
MoEngage.initialiseDefaultInstance(moEngage)

Following details of the different data centers you need to set based on the dashboard hosts:

Data Center	Dashboard host
DataCenter.DATA_CENTER_1	dashboard-01.moengage.com
DataCenter.DATA_CENTER_2	dashboard-02.moengage.com
DataCenter.DATA_CENTER_3	dashboard-03.moengage.com
DataCenter.DATA_CENTER_4	dashboard-04.moengage.com
DataCenter.DATA_CENTER_5	dashboard-05.moengage.com
DataCenter.DATA_CENTER_6	dashboard-06.moengage.com

For more information about the detailed list of possible configurations, refer to the API reference.

Critical All the configurations are added to the builder before initialization. If you are calling initialize at multiple places, ensure that all the required flags and configurations are set each time you initialize to maintain consistency in behavior.

Data Flow

SDK detects the build type of the installed application and the basis that it decides whether data should be sent to the Test/Live Environment of the MoEngage Platform.

• UnSigned/Debug Build — Data flows to Test environment
• Signed/Live Build — Data flows to Live environment.
