Java ads api: device enum to device constant?

[dhmitc...@gmail.com]

As far as we can tell, there's no way to map from `enums.DeviceEnum` or `common.DeviceInfo` to the 30000..30004 constants which seem to be what's needed as the `criterionId` for `utils.ResourceNames#campaignCriterion`. Am I missing something? Is the `criterionId` something else?

the 30000..30004 constants are from https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/data/codes-formats?hl=en#expandable-13; so, the question is how to map from the enum or device info obj to these or to a campaign constraint resource name.

Hello Cargurus,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Can you try this campaign_criterion view and utilize these available fields (criterion_id | device.type)?

Let us know if this is what you're looking for.

 I know how to get the constant. I even know how to get the campaign constraint id via a query. However, when I have to send out 10K campaign bid modifier updates several times a day, I don't want my server to query and then mutate the hundreds of times needed to go through each account. So, then I have to hardcode your constants in my code but it seems to me a gross oversight that DeviceEnum doesn't provide them and ResourceNames.campaignConstraintId doesn't have a method which takes DeviceEnum in place of the stupid constant which seems unconnected to any meaningful programming construct.

Please update the java api to provide an accessor to get the constants and you take responsibility for associating the constants with the DeviceEnum.

Hi Don,

I understand the inconvenience of the additional requests you are performing. Since this involves the Java client library, I would recommend that you reach out as well to the Java library owners via this link, for further guidance if there are ways to access the enums directly at the code level.

That said, allow me as well to create a feature request, subject for review, for this to be available directly via the API's services / resources. For now, you may keep an eye on our blog for updates and / or announcements.
