AskMe App Specific Functions

GetOfflineSurveyDescription and SetOfflineSurveyDescription

The AskMe app has the ability to control the description text that appears for surveys in survey tiles - see the figure below. You can also read from and write to that description using the functions:

GetOfflineSurveyDescription()
SetOfflineSurveyDescription(description)

Figure 1 - Description text

The rules for this text are:

• The text defaults to the survey description input in Survey Designer.
• HTML formatting is supported. However, hyperlinks are not supported.
• If a respondent data field called “SurveyDescription” exists, the text will take the value of this variable. This allows for respondent-level overrides of the initial value for the field.
• The function SetOfflineSurveyDescription() can be used to set the text while the survey is being completed.

Refer to the separate Survey Designer documentation for further information on the AskMe app.

GetAdvertisingInfo

Use GetOfflineInfo().GetAdvertisingInfo() function, to access device Advertising information:

• .AdvertisingID returns the device advertisingID where possible. This is a helper function without needing to perform platform specific checks.
• .GAID returns the Google Advertising ID (Android only, iOS returns null).
• .IFV returns the Apple Identifer for Vendors (iOS only, Android returns null).
• .IFA returns the Apple Identifer for Advertisers (iOS only, Android returns null).
• .IsLimitAdTrackingEnabled returns true if user has enabled option to limit ad tracking (Android only, iOS returns null).
• .IsAdvertisingTrackingEnabled returns true if user has enabled option to limit ad tracking (iOS only, Android returns null).

Examples of use:

var adId = GetOfflineInfo().GetAdvertisingInfo().AdvertisingID
var gaid = GetOfflineInfo().GetAdvertisingInfo().GAID 
var ifv = GetOfflineInfo().GetAdvertisingInfo().IFV
var ifa = GetOfflineInfo().GetAdvertisingInfo().IFA
var isl = GetOfflineInfo().GetAdvertisingInfo().IsLimitAdTrackingEnabled
var isl = GetOfflineInfo().GetAdvertisingInfo().IsAdvertisingTrackingEnabled
