Android Native Display
Learn how to integrate and test Native Display.
Overview
We support Native Display for CleverTap Android SDK version 3.6.2 and above. Follow the steps to integrate Native Display with your App.
Register the Native Display Listener
The Activity class must implement DisplayUnitListener, on which you will show the NativeDisplayUnits. Register the activity to the Clevertap’s instance using the setDisplayUnitListener method.
import com.clevertap.android.sdk.CleverTapAPI;
import com.clevertap.android.sdk.displayunits.DisplayUnitListener;
import com.clevertap.android.sdk.displayunits.model.CleverTapDisplayUnit;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements DisplayUnitListener {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
CleverTapAPI.getDefaultInstance(this).setDisplayUnitListener(this);
}
@Override
public void onDisplayUnitsLoaded(ArrayList<CleverTapDisplayUnit> units) {
// you will get display units here
}
}
import android.os.Bundle
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import com.clevertap.android.sdk.CleverTapAPI
import com.clevertap.android.sdk.displayunits.DisplayUnitListener
import com.clevertap.android.sdk.displayunits.model.CleverTapDisplayUnit
import java.util.ArrayList
class MainActivity: AppCompatActivity(), DisplayUnitListener {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
val cleverTapDefaultInstance = CleverTapAPI.getDefaultInstance(this@MainActivity)
cleverTapDefaultInstance?.apply {
setDisplayUnitListener(this@MainActivity)
}
}
override fun onDisplayUnitsLoaded(units: ArrayList<CleverTapDisplayUnit>?) {
// you will get display units here
}
}
Get the NativeDisplayUnits
You can raise the event for the Native Display Campaign.
CleverTapAPI.getDefaultInstance(this).pushEvent("Your Event Name");
CleverTapAPI.getDefaultInstance(this).pushEvent("Your Event Name")
You receive the list of CleverTapDisplayUnits via the registered callback for all active Native Display campaigns. Implement your logic to create Native Display views using these CleverTapDisplayUnits.
@Override
public void onDisplayUnitsLoaded(ArrayList<CleverTapDisplayUnit> units) {
// you will get display units here
// implement your logic to create your display views using these Display Units here
for (int i = 0; i <units.size() ; i++) {
CleverTapDisplayUnit unit = units.get(i);
prepareDisplayView(unit);
}
}
override fun onDisplayUnitsLoaded(units:ArrayList<CleverTapDisplayUnit>) {
// you will get display units here
// implement your logic to create your display views using these Display Units here
for (i in 0 until units.size())
{
val unit = units.get(i)
prepareDisplayView(unit)
}
}
Refer to our model classes CleverTapDisplayUnit and CleverTapDisplayUnitContent for creating the Native Display view.

We have also provided a few utility methods to get Adunits corresponding to the last event raised.

*/
@Nullable

* @return CleverTapDisplayUnit - could be null, if there is no Display Unit campaign with the identifier
*/
@Nullable
public CleverTapDisplayUnit getDisplayUnitForId(String unitID);
Raise Events for Tracking
You can raise the following events for tracking:
Notification Viewed Event
You can raise the Notification Viewed event using the pushDisplayUnitViewedEventForID method whenever the user sees the Native Display. You must provide the unitID of the CleverTapDisplayUnit corresponding to the Native Display.
CleverTapAPI.getDefaultInstance(this).pushDisplayUnitViewedEventForID(adUnit.getUnitID());
CleverTapAPI.getDefaultInstance(this).pushDisplayUnitViewedEventForID(adUnit.getUnitID())
Notification Clicked Event
You can raise the Notification Clicked event using the pushDisplayUnitClickedEventForID method whenever the user clicks the Native Display. You must provide the unitID of the CleverTapDisplayUnit corresponding to the Native Display.
CleverTapAPI.getDefaultInstance(this).pushDisplayUnitClickedEventForID(adUnit.getUnitID();;
CleverTapAPI.getDefaultInstance(this).pushDisplayUnitClickedEventForID(adUnit.getUnitID())
Custom Handling
The events that you raise are accepted automatically by the CleverTap dashboard.
For example, you have implemented the Native Display using RecyclerView, and you raise a Notification Viewed event whenever the Native Display appears on the browser's viewport. If the users scroll through the app multiple times, multiple Notification Viewed events are raised.In this case, you might not want to raise multiple events. You can handle this scenario using the android framework callbacks.
Get Native Display Units using Send Test
The CleverTapDisplayUnit is delivered via a Push notification in the Send Test flow. As soon we receive the notification, we parse the notification payload containing the CleverTapDisplayUnit and keep them in memory.
You can get the CleverTapDisplayUnit payload by either of the following methods:
Method 1: By getting all the Display Units
CleverTapAPI.getDefaultInstance(this).getAllDisplayUnits();
CleverTapAPI.getDefaultInstance(this).getAllDisplayUnits()
OR
Method 2: Register the DisplayUnitListener in the Application Class
You will receive the CleverTapDisplayUnit.
