-keep class com.fivvy.profiler.** { *; }
-keep class * extends com.fivvy.profiler.** { *; }

-keepclassmembers class com.fivvy.profiler.** {
    *;
}

-keepattributes *Annotation*

Add the following settings in build.gradle within /android/app

buildTypes {
    release {
        ...
        minifyEnabled true
        shrinkResources true
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}

Debug mode

Debug Mode Configuration

To enable and properly use the debug mode, follow these steps:

Requirements for Debug Mode

1. The project must have the BuildConfig class generated, which is standard in Ionic projects configured for Android. If your project does not generate BuildConfig, proceed to step 2.

2. If BuildConfig is not automatically generated or does not include the required property:

   • Open the build.gradle file located at /android/app.
   • Add the following configurations:

     1android {
     2    ...
     3    buildFeatures {
     4       buildConfig true
     5   }
     6}

⚠️ Important: The applicationId and namespace in your project must be identical. Debug mode will not work properly if these values are different.

General Information

⚠️ Important Notice: iOS Compatibility

This library is not compatible with iOS devices. It is specifically designed for Android platforms, and no support for iOS is provided. Please refrain from using this library in iOS-based projects, as it will not function as intended.

Appendix: advanced features (optional)

Permissions

On android you must request permissions beforehand. This part is divided into two sections to show how to open the usage settings on Android using a custom modal dialog or directly without a modal.

AndroidManifest

Need to add these permissions in the AndroidManifest inside android/app/src/main folder.

1<uses-permission  android:name="android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS"  tools:ignore="ProtectedPermissions" />

Using the Plugin to Open Usage Settings with Custom Dialog

To open the usage settings with a custom dialog and an image from the assets folder, follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a Method to Convert Image to Byte Array

Create a method to read an image from the assets folder and convert it to a byte array.

1async function convertImageToByteArray(imagePath: string): Promise<number[]> {
2  const response = await fetch(imagePath);
3  const blob = await response.blob();
4
5  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
6    const reader = new FileReader();
7    reader.onloadend = () => {
8      const arrayBuffer = reader.result as ArrayBuffer;
9      const byteArray = new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer);
10      resolve(Array.from(byteArray));
11    };
12    reader.onerror = reject;
13    reader.readAsArrayBuffer(blob);
14  });
15}
16

Step 2: Use the Plugin with Custom Parameters

Include the method in your Ionic component and use it to open the usage settings WITH a custom dialog.

1import { Plugins } from '@capacitor/core';
2const { ContextualProfiler } = Plugins;
3
4async function showUsageSettingsDialog() {
5  try {
6    // Make sure the path to your image is correct. Note If the image does not open, check that the image is in the build/dist folder to be accessible
7    const imagePath = await convertImageToByteArray('assets/example.png');
8   // ln could be ES, EN, PR at the moment
9    await ContextualProfiler.createOpenUsageSettingsUseCase({
10      ln: 'ES',
11      appName: 'AppDemo',
12      appDescription: 'Some Description',
13      modalText: 'Some guide text',
14      imagePath: imagePath || [0,0,0],
15      imageView: 1,// integer value, 0: no image; 1: default image, 2: app logo
16      buttonRadius: 25.0,// float value, set button border radius
17      modalRadius: 25.0,// float value, set modal border radius
18      color: '#50C7FA',// hex color value, set color of dialog title, accept background color and cancel button text color
19      dialogTitle: 'Custom Usage Information Title',
20      dialogMessage1: 'Custom message 1 about usage permissions.',
21      dialogMessage2: 'Custom message 2 about privacy and data collection.',
22      blacklist: null // (Optional) List of device manufacturers for which the usage settings should be avoided. On some devices, especially from certain manufacturers as Xiaomi, a system warning might be displayed when attempting to access the usage settings. To prevent this action on those devices, you can:
23
24      //- Pass `null`: This will apply a default list of manufacturers known to have this issue.
25      // - Provide a custom list of manufacturers as an array (`["manufacturer1", "manufacturer2"]`): This will prevent the settings from being accessed only on devices from those specific brands.
26      //- Pass an empty array `[]`: This will allow the settings to be accessed on all devices without any restrictions.
27
28    });
29  } catch (e) {
30    console.error('Error opening usage settings', e);
31  }
32}

Opening Usage Settings Directly

If you prefer to open the usage settings directly without a custom dialog, follow these steps:

Use the Plugin Directly

Include the method in your Ionic component and use it to open the usage settings directly.

1import { Plugins } from '@capacitor/core';
2const { ContextualProfiler } = Plugins;
3
4async function showUsageSettings() {
5  try {
6    await ContextualProfiler.createOpenUsageSettingsDirectlyUseCase({blacklist: ['samsung']});// - blacklist (Optional) List of device manufacturers for which the usage settings should be avoided. On some devices, especially from certain manufacturers as Xiaomi, a system warning might be displayed when attempting to access the usage settings. To prevent this action on those devices, you can:
7
8      //- Pass `null`: This will apply a default list of manufacturers known to have this issue.
9      // - Provide a custom list of manufacturers as an array (`["manufacturer1", "manufacturer2"]`): This will prevent the settings from being accessed only on devices from those specific brands.
10      //- Pass an empty array `[]`: This will allow the settings to be accessed on all devices without any restrictions.
11
12  } catch (e) {
13    console.error('Error opening usage settings', e);
14  }
15}

blacklist Parameter

The blacklist parameter is an array of strings containing the names of device manufacturers for which you want to disable a certain function. If the device is from a manufacturer listed in this array, the function will not perform any action.

blacklist Behavior:

• Array with specific manufacturers: If the array contains manufacturer names, the function will be disabled on devices from those brands. Example:

1blacklist: ["xiaomi", "huawei"]

• Empty Array: The feature will work on any manufacturer device. Example:

1blacklist: []

• Null value: The feature will use a default blacklist, here are the default blacklisted manufacturers: ["xiaomi", "huawei", "oppo", "vivo", "realme", "lenovo", "meizu", "oneplus", "zte", "nubia"]

1blacklist: null

Device manufacturer

This fucntion will return the current device manufacturer, this could be useful if you need to implement more complex logic in your app regarding the device manufacturer.

1const result = await ContextualProfiler.logDeviceManufacturer();
2console.log("Device Manufacturer:", result.message);

Here's a full list of manufacturers names in Android: Android manufacturer names

By following these steps, you can either use a custom dialog to guide the user or open the usage settings directly without additional prompts.

Module Functions

All the information about the package and how to use functions.

Methods	Params value	Return value	Description
getAppUsage	Int days. Represent the last days to get the usage of each app.	Promise<IAppUsage[]>	Returns an IAppUsage Array for all the queries in AndroidManifest that user had install in his phone or null if user doesn’t bring usage access.
openUsageAccessSettings	{ln: String, appName: String, appDescription: String, modalText: String, imagePath: byte[], imageView: number, buttonRadius: Float, modalRadius: Float, color: String, dialogTitle: String, dialogMessage1: String, dialogMessage2: String}	Boolean	Open settings with pre-built modal view to grant app usage permission.
openUsageAccessSettingsDirectly	Empty	Boolean	Open settings view without pre-built modal to grant app usage permission.
