AppIndex

    public abstract class AppIndex extends Object

    Provides methods for managing the index, by inserting, updating and removing Indexable values in the app.

    This is a simple example for inserting a user's recipe into the index:

     AppIndex appIndex = AppIndex.getInstance(getApplicationContext());
 Indexable recipe = new Indexable.Builder()
     .setName("My new brownie recipe")
     .setUrl("//example.net/recipes/02101984")
     .build();
 appIndex.update(recipe);

    The unique identifier for an Indexable is the URL. This means that there cannot be multiple different Indexable values with the same URL, but you can call update(Indexable...) multiple times to update the same Indexable as it changes over time.

    The app should handle the ACTION_UPDATE_INDEX intent so that Google Play services can update the on-device index in the following situations:

    • When the app is installed on a device.
    • If an existing version of the app is updated to a version that supports the intent.
    • Periodic calls over time to accurately refresh the index.
    • If the on-device index is lost for any reason (For example, if the index is corrupted).

    The static accessors and object methods of AppIndex are thread-safe. However, Indexable values are not. Therefore, you should not insert, update, or remove the same Indexable from different threads.

    Constant Summary

    String ACTION_UPDATE_INDEX The intent action that will be used by the indexing service to request an app to update all its Indexable values.
    String APP_INDEXING_API_TAG The tag used for logging debug information for calls to AppIndex class.
    String EXTRA_UPDATE_INDEX_REASON Used as an int extra field in ACTION_UPDATE_INDEX intent to indicate the reason for the update request.
    int EXTRA_UPDATE_INDEX_REASON_REBUILD An int value for EXTRA_UPDATE_INDEX_REASON when the update request is sent because the index needs to be fully rebuilt.
    int EXTRA_UPDATE_INDEX_REASON_REFRESH An int value for EXTRA_UPDATE_INDEX_REASON when the update request is sent because some content has not been re-indexed in some time (>30 days), and needs to be re-indexed to stay in the index.

    Inherited Method Summary

    Constants

    public static final String ACTION_UPDATE_INDEX

    The intent action that will be used by the indexing service to request an app to update all its Indexable values. When specifying the intent in the Manifest file you can also define a permission so that only Google Play services is allowed to trigger the intent.
    Example entry for the Manifest file:

    <receiver android:name=".MyIndexingReceiver"
     android:exported="true"
     android:permission="com.google.android.gms.permission.APPINDEXING">
     <intent-filter>
         <action android:name="com.google.firebase.appindexing.UPDATE_INDEX"/>
     </intent-filter>
 </receiver>
     The receiver needs to schedule the indexing work to happen asynchronously in the background.
    Constant Value: "com.google.firebase.appindexing.UPDATE_INDEX"

    public static final String APP_INDEXING_API_TAG

    The tag used for logging debug information for calls to AppIndex class.

    To enable logging: adb shell setprop log.tag.AppIndex DEBUG

    Constant Value: "AppIndex"

    public static final String EXTRA_UPDATE_INDEX_REASON

    Used as an int extra field in ACTION_UPDATE_INDEX intent to indicate the reason for the update request. Possible values are EXTRA_UPDATE_INDEX_REASON_REBUILD and EXTRA_UPDATE_INDEX_REASON_REFRESH .

    Constant Value: "com.google.firebase.appindexing.extra.REASON"

    public static final int EXTRA_UPDATE_INDEX_REASON_REBUILD

    An int value for EXTRA_UPDATE_INDEX_REASON when the update request is sent because the index needs to be fully rebuilt. This could be for several reasons, including app installation (the app is newly installed on the device), or index resets (For example, because of temporary storage constraints).

    Constant Value: 1

    public static final int EXTRA_UPDATE_INDEX_REASON_REFRESH

    An int value for EXTRA_UPDATE_INDEX_REASON when the update request is sent because some content has not been re-indexed in some time (>30 days), and needs to be re-indexed to stay in the index.

    Constant Value: 2

    Public Methods

    public static synchronized AppIndex getInstance ( Context context)

    Returns an instance of AppIndex .

    This method does not require Firebase initialization. Instead, the application context is inferred from the context that is explicitly passed in.

    public abstract Task< Void > remove ( String... urls)

    Removes one or multiple Indexable values from the index.

    Parameters
    urls
    One or multiple URLs of the Indexable values to be removed from the index. The total number of URLs that can be passed in a single call is limited to Indexable.MAX_INDEXABLES_TO_BE_UPDATED_IN_ONE_CALL , otherwise an AppIndexTooManyArgumentsException will be thrown.
    Returns
    • A Task indicating the result of the operation

    public abstract Task< Void > removeAll ()

    Removes all data from the index.

    Returns
    • A Task indicating the result of the operation.

    public abstract Task< Void > removeTypes ( String... types)

    Removes all data for one or multiple IndexableTypes from the index.

    Parameters
    types
    One or multiple IndexableTypes to be removed from the index.
    Returns
    • A Task indicating the result of the operation.

    public abstract Task< Void > update ( Indexable... indexables)

    Inserts or updates one or multiple Indexable values in the index. The Indexable values are identified by their URL, and the update is a complete replacement (all previously indexed information for a given Indexable is replaced with the new one).

    Parameters
    indexables
    One or multiple Indexable values to be inserted or updated in the index. The total number of Indexable values that can be passed in a single call is limited to Indexable.MAX_INDEXABLES_TO_BE_UPDATED_IN_ONE_CALL ), otherwise an AppIndexTooManyArgumentsException will be thrown.
    Returns
    • A Task indicating the result of the operation.
