MixpanelAPI.People (mixpanel-android 7.5.4 API)

Enclosing class:: MixpanelAPI

public static interface MixpanelAPI.People

Core interface for using Mixpanel People Analytics features. You can get an instance by calling MixpanelAPI.getPeople()

The People object is used to update properties in a user's People Analytics record. For this reason, it's important to call identify(String) on the People object before you work with it. Once you call identify, the user identity will persist across stops and starts of your application, until you make another call to identify using a different id. A typical use case for the People object might look like this:

 

 public class MainActivity extends Activity {
      MixpanelAPI mMixpanel;

      public void onCreate(Bundle saved) {
          mMixpanel = MixpanelAPI.getInstance(this, "YOUR MIXPANEL API TOKEN");
          mMixpanel.identify("A UNIQUE ID FOR THIS USER");
          ...
      }

      public void userUpdatedJobTitle(String newTitle) {
          mMixpanel.getPeople().set("Job Title", newTitle);
          ...
      }

      public void onDestroy() {
          mMixpanel.flush();
          super.onDestroy();
      }
 }

  - identify
```
@Deprecated
void identify(java.lang.String distinctId)
```
    Deprecated. in 6.2.0 NOTE: This method is deprecated. Please use MixpanelAPI.identify(String) instead.
    
    Parameters:
    
    distinctId - a String that uniquely identifies the user. Users identified with the same distinct id will be considered to be the same user in Mixpanel, across all platforms and devices. We recommend choosing a distinct id that is meaningful to your other systems (for example, a server-side account identifier)
    
    See Also:
    
    MixpanelAPI.identify(String)
  - set
```
void set(java.lang.String propertyName,
         java.lang.Object value)
```
    Sets a single property with the given name and value for this user. The given name and value will be assigned to the user in Mixpanel People Analytics, possibly overwriting an existing property with the same name.
    
    Parameters:
    
    propertyName - The name of the Mixpanel property. This must be a String, for example "Zip Code"
    
    value - The value of the Mixpanel property. For "Zip Code", this value might be the String "90210"
  - setMap
```
void setMap(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> properties)
```
    Set a collection of properties on the identified user all at once.
    
    Parameters:
    
    properties - a Map containing the collection of properties you wish to apply to the identified user. Each key in the Map will be associated with a property name, and the value of that key will be assigned to the property. See also set(org.json.JSONObject)
  - set
```
void set(org.json.JSONObject properties)
```
    Set a collection of properties on the identified user all at once.
    
    Parameters:
    
    properties - a JSONObject containing the collection of properties you wish to apply to the identified user. Each key in the JSONObject will be associated with a property name, and the value of that key will be assigned to the property.
  - setOnce
```
void setOnce(java.lang.String propertyName,
             java.lang.Object value)
```
    Works just like set(String, Object), except it will not overwrite existing property values. This is useful for properties like "First login date".
    
    Parameters:
    
    propertyName - The name of the Mixpanel property. This must be a String, for example "Zip Code"
    
    value - The value of the Mixpanel property. For "Zip Code", this value might be the String "90210"
  - setOnceMap
```
void setOnceMap(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> properties)
```
    Like set(String, Object), but will not set properties that already exist on a record.
    
    Parameters:
    
    properties - a Map containing the collection of properties you wish to apply to the identified user. Each key in the Map will be associated with a property name, and the value of that key will be assigned to the property. See also setOnce(org.json.JSONObject)
  - setOnce
```
void setOnce(org.json.JSONObject properties)
```
    Like set(String, Object), but will not set properties that already exist on a record.
    
    Parameters:
    
    properties - a JSONObject containing the collection of properties you wish to apply to the identified user. Each key in the JSONObject will be associated with a property name, and the value of that key will be assigned to the property.
  - increment
```
void increment(java.lang.String name,
               double increment)
```
    Add the given amount to an existing property on the identified user. If the user does not already have the associated property, the amount will be added to zero. To reduce a property, provide a negative number for the value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the People Analytics property that should have its value changed
    
    increment - the amount to be added to the current value of the named property
    
    See Also:
    
    increment(Map)
  - merge
```
void merge(java.lang.String name,
           org.json.JSONObject updates)
```
    Merge a given JSONObject into the object-valued property named name. If the user does not already have the associated property, an new property will be created with the value of the given updates. If the user already has a value for the given property, the updates will be merged into the existing value, with key/value pairs in updates taking precedence over existing key/value pairs where the keys are the same.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the People Analytics property that should have the update merged into it
    
    updates - a JSONObject with keys and values that will be merged into the property
  - increment
```
void increment(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,? extends java.lang.Number> properties)
```
    Change the existing values of multiple People Analytics properties at once.
    If the user does not already have the associated property, the amount will be added to zero. To reduce a property, provide a negative number for the value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    properties - A map of String properties names to Long amounts. Each property associated with a name in the map will have its value changed by the given amount
    
    See Also:
    
    increment(String, double)
  - append
```
void append(java.lang.String name,
            java.lang.Object value)
```
    Appends a value to a list-valued property. If the property does not currently exist, it will be created as a list of one element. If the property does exist and doesn't currently have a list value, the append will be ignored.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the People Analytics property that should have it's value appended to
    
    value - the new value that will appear at the end of the property's list

```
void union(java.lang.String name,
           org.json.JSONArray value)
```
    Adds values to a list-valued property only if they are not already present in the list. If the property does not currently exist, it will be created with the given list as it's value. If the property exists and is not list-valued, the union will be ignored.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - name of the list-valued property to set or modify
    
    value - an array of values to add to the property value if not already present

            java.lang.Object value)
```

    Parameters:
    
    name - the People Analytics property that should have it's value removed from
    
    value - the value that will be removed from the property's list
  - unset

void trackCharge(double amount,
                 org.json.JSONObject properties)
```

```
boolean isIdentified()
```
    Checks if the people profile is identified or not.
    
    Returns:
    
    Whether the current user is identified or not.
  - getDistinctId
```
@Deprecated
java.lang.String getDistinctId()
```
    Deprecated. in 6.2.0 NOTE: This method is deprecated. Please use MixpanelAPI.getDistinctId() instead.
    
    Returns the string id currently being used to uniquely identify the user associated with events sent using set(String, Object) and increment(String, double). If no calls to MixpanelAPI.identify(String) have been made, this method will return null.
    
    Returns:
    
    The distinct id associated with updates to People Analytics
    
    See Also:
    
    identify(String), MixpanelAPI.getDistinctId()
  - withIdentity
```
MixpanelAPI.People withIdentity(java.lang.String distinctId)
```
    Return an instance of Mixpanel people with a temporary distinct id.
    
    Parameters:
    
    distinctId - Unique identifier (distinct_id) that the people object will have
