- The advertising ID is a user-specific, unique, resettable ID for advertising, - provided by Google Play services. It gives users better controls and provides - developers with a simple, standard system to continue to monetize your apps. - It is an anonymous identifier for advertising purposes and enables users to - reset their identifier or opt out of interest-based ads within Google Play - apps. -

-

- The advertising ID is accessible through a straightforward API that you can - implement in your apps. For details, take a look at the overview and the - advertising ID API reference. -

Key Developer Features

-

Standard, simple ID

-

The advertising ID is a part of a standard, simple system for serving ads and performing analytics.

-

Giving users control

-

Users can reset their advertising ID or opt out of interest-based ads at any time, right from the Google Settings app. - Their preferences apply across all ad companies that use the advertising ID.

- -
-
-

Getting Started

-

1. Get the Google Play services SDK

-

The advertising ID APIs are part of the Google Play services platform.

-

To get started, set up - the Google Play services SDK.

-

2. Read the docs and example code

-

Once you've installed the Google Play services package, review the overview - below, as well as the example.

-

- For detailed documentation, take a look at the - advertising ID API reference documentation. -

-
-
-

- As a reminder, please note that starting 1 August 2014, new - apps and app updates distributed through Google Play must use the advertising - ID in lieu of any other persistent identifiers for any advertising purposes, - on devices that support the advertising ID.
-
- To learn how to check your app's compliance through the Developer Console, or - for details on the associated developer policy changes, please see the - Advertising - ID topic in the Google Play developer help center. -

-

Using the Advertising ID

-

- The advertising ID is a unique but - user-resettable string identifier that lets ad networks and other apps anonymously - identify a user. The user's advertising ID is made available to apps through APIs - provided in Google Play services. -

-

- Users can reset their advertising ID at any time, right from the Ads section of the - Google Settings app on their devices. From the same app, users can also - opt-out of targeted advertising based on the advertising ID by setting the appropriate - ad tracking preference. When the - user opts-out of targeted ads, this ad tracking preference is made available - to apps through a Google Play services API. -

-

- Apps making use of the advertising ID must check for and respect the - user's ad tracking preference. Also please note that any use of the advertising ID - must abide by the terms of the Google Play - Developer Content Policies. -

-

Format of the Advertising ID

-

- Google Play services APIs expose the user's advertising ID as a string format of UUID, - with values similar to this: -

-

"38400000-8cf0-11bd-b23e-10b96e40000d"

-

Requirements

- -

Obtaining the user's advertising ID and ad tracking preference

-

- If you want to use the advertising ID in your app, you must first install the Google - Play services SDK. As noted in the requirements above, you should install the - SDK for Google Play services 4.0 or higher if you will develop using the advertising ID - APIs. For information about how to get started, see Setting Up Google Play services. -

-

- The advertising ID APIs are available in the - com.google.android.gms.ads.identifier package in the Google - Play Services library. To obtain the user's advertising ID and tracking preference, - call the method - - getAdvertisingIdInfo(), which returns an - AdvertisingIdClient.Info encapsulating the user's current Advertising ID - and tracking preference. -

-

- Note: The - getAdvertisingIdInfo() - method is a blocking call, so you must not call it on the main (UI) thread. - If called on the main thread, the method throws - {@link java.lang.IllegalStateException}. -

-

- Once you've retrieved the - - AdvertisingIdClient.Info - object, you can use its - getId() and - isLimitAdTrackingEnabled() methods to access the advertising ID and - ad tracking preference. -

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
MethodDescription
public String getId()Retrieves the advertising ID.
public boolean isLimitAdTrackingEnabled()Retrieves whether the user has limit ad tracking enabled or not.
-

- The advertising ID APIs do not include a "reset" method. Only users can initiate a - reset of their own advertising IDs, through the Google Settings application. -

-

- For more information about the advertising ID APIs, see the - reference documentation. -

-

Example implementation

-

- Here's a basic illustration of how you can retrieve the user's advertising ID and ad - tracking preference in your app: -

-
-import com.google.android.gms.ads.identifier.AdvertisingIdClient;
-import com.google.android.gms.ads.identifier.AdvertisingIdClient.Info;
-import com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesAvailabilityException;
-import com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException;
-import java.io.IOException;
-...
-// Do not call this function from the main thread. Otherwise,
-// an IllegalStateException will be thrown.
-public void getIdThread() {
-  Info adInfo = null;
-  try {
-    adInfo = AdvertisingIdClient.getAdvertisingIdInfo(mContext.getApplicationContext());
-  } catch (IOException e) {
-    // Unrecoverable error connecting to Google Play services (e.g.,
-    // the old version of the service doesn't support getting AdvertisingId).
-
-  } catch (GooglePlayServicesAvailabilityException e) {
-    // Encountered a recoverable error connecting to Google Play services.
-  } catch (GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException e) {
-    // Google Play services is not available entirely.
-  }
-  final String id = adInfo.getId();
-  final boolean isLAT = adInfo.isLimitAdTrackingEnabled();
