Public Methods

public abstract Task<Void> end (Action action)

Logs that the user has stopped doing something in the app.

Use this method for a user action of some duration that has come to an end, like when the user has finished viewing an article or stopped listening to a song, as well as for instantaneous actions the user has taken, such as sending a message or adding a song to a playlist. For these instantaneous actions, don't call start(Action) at all, but just end(Action).

Parameters

action	The Action describing either the instantaneous action the user has just taken, or the more long-lived activity the user has stopped doing in the app; for the latter start(Action) should be called before calling end(Action).

Returns

• A Task indicating the result of the operation.

public static synchronized FirebaseUserActions getInstance (Context context)

Returns an instance of FirebaseUserActions.

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

public abstract Task<Void> start (Action action)

Logs that the user has started doing something in the app.

Use this method for a user action of some duration, like viewing an article or listening to a song. If the action is instantaneous, such as sending a message or adding a song to a playlist, then make a single call to end(Action) instead.

Parameters

action	The Action describing what the user has started doing in the app.

Returns

• A Task indicating the result of the operation.
