Welcome Message for Android
This section covers on-boarding your users about how to reach you through Instabug with a mode for either beta testers or live users on Android apps.
Setting the Welcome Message Mode
By default, a welcome message that explains how to show Instabug will be shown to your app users within 10 seconds of starting their first session after the SDK is integrated. The welcome mode can be set to live, beta, or disabled using the method below. The default welcome mode is set to live.
The popups that appear follow the color theme and primary color that you set for the SDK.
You can also edit the content of the message using the method and keys found in the Locale page.
Instabug.setWelcomeMessageState(WelcomeMessage.State.BETA) // For beta testers
Instabug.setWelcomeMessageState(WelcomeMessage.State.LIVE) // For live users
Instabug.setWelcomeMessageState(WelcomeMessage.State.DISABLED) // Disable welcome message
Instabug.setWelcomeMessageState(WelcomeMessage.State.BETA); // For beta testers
Instabug.setWelcomeMessageState(WelcomeMessage.State.LIVE); // For live users
Instabug.setWelcomeMessageState(WelcomeMessage.State.DISABLED); // Disable welcome message
Showing the Welcome Message Manually
Instead of showing the welcome message automatically, you can manually show the welcome message in either live or beta mode using the following method.
Instabug.showWelcomeMessage(WelcomeMessage.State.BETA) // For beta testers
Instabug.showWelcomeMessage(WelcomeMessage.State.LIVE) // For live users
Instabug.showWelcomeMessage(WelcomeMessage.State.BETA); // For beta testers
Instabug.showWelcomeMessage(WelcomeMessage.State.LIVE); // For live users
Invocation Method Set to None?
If you're invocation method is set to "none", the welcome message will not appear to your users.
