Automatic data collection

By default, the Batch SDK will automatically collect some data related to the user's device:

Native data	Description	Default collection status
Device Model	The user's device model information	false
Device Brand	The user's device brand information	false
Installation ID	The installation identifier	true
Session ID	The user's session identifier	true
Custom User ID	The user's custom identifier	true
API Level	The Batch SDK api level	true
Messaging API Level	The Batch SDK Messaging api level	true
Device Language	The user's device language	true
Device Region	The user's device region	true
Device Timezone	The user's device timezone	true
OS Version	The Android version	true
App Version (String)	The application version (string)	true
App Version (Build Number)	The application version (number)	true
Bundle Name	The application package name	true
Device Date	The current device date	true
First Installation Date	The date at which the app was last updated.	true
Last Installation Date	The date at which the app was first installed	true
Device Installation Date	The Batch installation date	true
SDK Level	The Android API level	true
Bridge Version	Version of the batch bridge (for cross-platform plugin only)	true
Plugin Version	Version of the batch plugin (for cross-platform plugin only)	true
GeoIP	Whether Batch should resolve the user's location from ip address	false

Some of this data are disabled by default and can be toggled on/off according to the user consent:

• Device model

• Device brand

• GeoIP

Use the following API to fine-tune what you want to enable:

Kotlin

Batch.updateAutomaticDataCollection {
  it.apply {
    setGeoIPEnabled(true) // Enable GeoIP resolution on server side
    setDeviceBrandEnabled(true) // Enable automatic collection of the device brand information
    setDeviceModelEnabled(true) // Enable automatic collection of the device model information
  }
}

Java

Batch.updateAutomaticDataCollection(config -> {
    config.setGeoIPEnabled(true) // Enable GeoIP resolution on server side
          .setDeviceBrandEnabled(true) // Enable automatic collection of the device brand information
          .setDeviceModelEnabled(true); // Enable automatic collection of the device model information
});

This API can be used at any time in your application lifecycle and Batch will remember these values, even if your Application reboots.
