Integrating Amplitude with RudderStack's Android SDK

1. Add Amplitude as a destination in the RudderStack dashboard and define apiKey and all other applicable settings .

2. Add the dependency under dependencies

implementation 'com.rudderstack.android.sdk:core:1.+'
implementation 'com.rudderstack.android.integration:amplitude:1.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.6'

// Amplitude
implementation 'com.amplitude:android-sdk:2.25.2'
implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:4.2.2'

// For using Google Advertising Id as device id
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:18.3.0'

3. Add these lines to your app/build.gradle under compileOptions in the android tag:

compileOptions {
  sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
  targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}

Initialize RudderClient

val rudderClient = RudderClient.getInstance(
    this,
    WRITE_KEY,
    RudderConfig.Builder()
        .withDataPlaneUrl(DATA_PLANE_URL)
        .withFactory(AmplitudeIntegrationFactory.FACTORY)
        .build()
)

and if you would like to send Google Advertising Id of the device as device id to the Amplitude then add the below code in the AndroidManifest.xml of your app under <application> tag:

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AD_MANAGER_APP"
    android:value="true" />
