You can download the latest version of the TapResearch AdobeAir SDK on GitHub.
Add Ane... and select libTapResearchAne.aneActionScript Build Packaging click the Native Extensions tab and make sure that for both Apple iOS and Google Android
the extension is packaged<activity android:name="com.tapr.internal.activities.survey.SurveyActivity"
android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"/>
The TapResearch SDK depended on Google Play Services to run on Android devices. The dependency is packaged as a separate extension to avoid collisions with other extensions that may have packaged the Google Play Services. Please note that the TapResearch extension only contain a subset of Google Play Services.

Initialize the TapResearchSDK as early as possible so TapResearch can start getting surveys ready for your users. To initialize the SDK use the following methods
TapResearch.instance.isSupported to verify the platform is supportedTapResearch.instance.configure(<apiToken>) to initiate the SDK, the method only needs to be called once on app launch.
import com.tapresearch.ane.TapResearch;
if (!TapResearch.instance.isSupported) {
return;
}
var apiToken:String;
if(Capabilities.os.indexOf("iPhone") >= 0) {
apiToken= "ios_api_token"
} else if (Capabilities.os.indexOf("Android") >= 0) {
apiToken = "android_api_token";
}
TapResearch.instance.configure(apiToken);
Next step will be to send a unique user identifier, please note that without a unique identifier the survey wall won't be available.
TapResearch.instance.setUniqueUserIdentifier(USER_IDENTIFIER);
A placement is the allocated section in your application where you want to provide access to TapResearch's survey wall, like an action button or a list item. To create a placement, navigate to the app settings in the supplier dashboard click settings and add the placement. The placement is encapsulated by the TRPlacement object which contains the placement metadata and the method to display the survey wall.
To initialize a placement, it is best practice to call the SDK as late as possible before displaying the placement in the app. For example, you can initialize it in the Start method
of the scene where the placement will be visible
TapResearch.instance.addEventListener(TapResearch.PLACEMENT_READY, onPlacementReady);
TapResearch.instance.initPlacement(PLACEMENT_IDENTIFIER);
...
protected function onPlacementReady(event:Event):void
{
placement = TRPlacement(event);
if (placement.placementCode != TRPlacement.PLACEMENT_CODE_SDK_NOT_READY) {
if (placement.isSurveyWallAvailable) {
//Show the placement
}
} else {
// The SDK isn't ready
}
}
Notice that the survey wall may or may not be available to a specific user and it's important to check survey availability before displaying the placement.
Please note that if the placement request was fired before that SDK is ready the OnPlacementReady
will be called twice. The first time PlacementCode will return TRPlacement.PLACEMENT_CODE_SDK_NOT_READY indicating that the request was fired
before the SDK was ready, the second call will return the latest placement from the server.
To display the survey wall, call the ShowSurveyWall on your TRPlacement object.
placement.showSurveyWall();
Please Note: A placement can only show the survey wall one time. Once the survey wall is dismissed, you'll have to initialize a new TRPlacement object if you wish to keep the placement visible in the app.
hasHotSurvey is a placement attribute that indicates a special, high yield survey is available for this user. When this attribute is true,
the user should be shown a special call to action to encourage them to take advantage of this opportunity.
These special survey opportunities may only be available for a few minutes, so initPlacement should be called whenever the parent view is loaded.
If you want to use Hot Survey please contact developers@tapresearch.comdevelopers@tapresearch.com.
Depending on your preferences the rewards notification will be posted to a url or will trigger an in-game game callback. Please follow the instructions below for server postback or in-game callback implementations
To opt in for server to server postbacks, navigate to the supplier dashboard. Please visit API docs to learn about postbacks integration.
Assign your reward event listener so we can notify you when a user completes a survey. The quantity value will automatically be converted to your virtual currency based on the exchange rate you specified in your app settings . It is important to note that this method may be called back to back if the player completed multiple surveys in one session. You'll want to assign your delegate before calling the Configure() method.
import com.tapresearch.ane.DidReceiveRewardEvent;
TapResearch.instance.addEventListener(TapResearch.RECEIVE_REWARD, onReceiveReward);
protected function onReceiveReward(event:Event):void
{
var rewardEvent:ReceiveRewardEvent = ReceiveRewardEvent(event);
trace(rewardEvent.rewardAmount);
trace(rewardEvent.transactionIdentifier);
trace(rewardEvent.currencyName);
trace(rewardEvent.offerIdentifier);
trace(rewardEvent.eventType);
}
Assign a event listeners if you want to be notified when the survey wall status changed
TapResearch.instance.addEventListener(TapResearch.SURVEY_WALL_OPENED, onSurveyWallOpened);
TapResearch.instance.addEventListener(TapResearch.SURVEY_WALL_DISMISSED, onSurveyWallDismissed);
private function onSurveyWallOpened(event:Event):void
// Stop music, timers, etc.
}
private function onSurveyWallDismissed(event:Event):void
// Start music, timer, etc.
}
If you wish to customise the look of the survey wall modal to fit with the rest of your app use the following:
TapResearch.instance.setNavigationBarText("Title");
TapResearch.instance.setNavigationBarColor("#AADDAA");
TapResearch.instance.setNavigationBarTextColor("#FF11FF");
The following methods and callbacks were removed from the SDK
TapResearch.instance.isSurveyAvailable()
TapResearch.instance.isSurveyAvailableWithIdentifier(identifier)
TapResearch.instance.showSurvey();
TapResearch.instance.showSurveyWithIdentifier(identifier);
TapResearch.instance.addEventListener(TapResearch.SURVEY_AVAILABLE, onSurveyAvailable);
TapResearch.instance.addEventListener(TapResearch.SURVEY_NOT_AVAILABLE, onSurveyNotAvailable);
TapResearch.instance.addEventListener(TapResearch.SURVEY_MODAL_OPENED, onSurveyModalOpened);
TapResearch.instance.addEventListener(TapResearch.SURVEY_MODAL_CLOSED, onSurveyModalClosed);
TapResearch.instance.addEventListener(TapResearch.SURVEY_AVAILABLE_WITH_PLACEMENT, onSurveyAvailable);
TapResearch.instance.addEventListener(TapResearch.SURVEY_NOT_AVAILABLE_WITH_PLACEMENT, onSurveyNotAvailable);
TapResearch.instance.addEventListener(TapResearch.SURVEY_MODAL_OPENED_WITH_PLACEMENT, onSurveyModalOpened);
TapResearch.instance.addEventListener(TapResearch.SURVEY_MODAL_CLOSED_WITH_PLACEMENT, onSurveyModalClosed);
Before you are ready to go live, it is important that your reward callback is working properly. Navigate to your dashboard and click the Add Devices button. Add a device name and your Google Advertising ID. Now, when you enter our survey flow through your app, you will be able to complete a test survey and receive a test reward when you re-open your app.
If placement.isSurveyWallAvailable is false please reference the android or ios integration guides for further steps
Please send all questions, concerns, or bug reports to developers@tapresearch.com.
