How to know if my Geotrigger Campaign is working?

[r...@reclamefolder.nl]

If created a Geotrigger Test Campaign to see if geotrigger events are being triggered.
In the app (Android) I've implemented a GeotriggerHandlerReceiver and have the override method handleGeotriggers actually return the specific geotrigger for the test campaign whenever it gets triggered.

When I go to the Plot Projects Dashboard and check the analytics for that specific geotrigger campaign there is no data though.

Is that because data only becomes available the next day?

Or is there something else I should do?

Hi Rik,

It is correct the dashboard shows only data for the day before.

When waiting a day is too long, then you could verify it is working correctly by using debug logging. You can enable debug logging by changing a property on the Plot service in the AndroidManifest.xml. When integrated using the AAR version of our library you can just add this snippet to your AndroidManifest.xml:

<service android:name="com.plotprojects.retail.android.PlotBackgroundService"
    android:exported="false">
    <meta-data android:name="debug" android:value="true" />
</service>

Setting debug to false disables the debug logging functionality.

You can then mail the debug log to yourself using Plot.mailDebugLog(). For now that method doesn't work that well with the Inbox app, but it works fine with GMail.

Please let me know when something is still unclear.

Kind regards,
