API
Usage
The Didomi Android SDK exposes a complete API through the io.diomi.sdk.Didomi
class. This allows your app to programmatically interact with the Didomi SDK. You can check the user consent status, register consents that you would collect yourself, and show/hide the Didomi UI.
Always use Didomi.getInstance()
to get a reference to the Didomi SDK. Also make sure to always call the SDK after it is fully initialized (see onReady).
addEventListener
Add an event listener to catch events triggered by the SDK. See the dedicated section for more details
removeEventListener
Remove a previously add event listener.

openCurrentUserStatusTransaction
Definition
Create an instance of the CurrentUserStatusTransaction
class.
This class provides mechanisms to stage updates to the user status regarding purposes and vendors, allowing for batch operations.
Updates made through its methods are queued and applied simultaneously to the user status only once the commit
method of the returned object is called.
Additional details:
The status of vendors and purposes whose IDs are not not specified through the methods provided by
CurrentUserStatusTransaction
are kept unchanged.Essential purposes are always set to enabled and can’t be updated by the methods provided by
CurrentUserStatusTransaction
.When the regulation applied for a user is
none
, the methods provided byCurrentUserStatusTransaction
should not update the status of any vendor or purpose which will always remain as enabled. When thecommit
method is called it will returnfalse
.If the IDs that are passed through the methods provided by
CurrentUserStatusTransaction
don’t correspond to vendors or purposes required by the Notice Config, they will be ignored.
Requires SDK to be initialized
Yes.
Parameters
No parameter.
Returns
An instance of the CurrentUserStatusTransaction
class.

setLogLevel
Set the minimum level of messages to log. The SDK will not log messages under that level. See Logging for more information.
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
minLevel |
| Minimum level of messages to log. |
Returns
Nothing
Example
setupUI
Setup the SDK UI. By calling this method, the consent notice will be displayed once the SDK is ready and if consent should be collected. It does not show any view if consent was already collected or is not required.
This method should be called in the onCreate
function of your activities and should be called in every activity where consent can be collected.
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
activity |
| Activity used to get the Support Fragment Manager to display the consent notice. |
Returns
Nothing
Example
showNotice
In most cases this method should be called if the notice should be displayed in response to a user action (e.g.: select the privacy settings section within your app). By calling the setupUI method, the notice will be automatically displayed if required.
Show the consent notice. The consent notice actually only gets shown if needed (consent is required and we are missing consent information for some vendor or purpose).
Parameters

---|---|
FragmentActivity | Activity used to get the Support Fragment Manager to display the Preferences view. |
Throws
Type | Description |
DidomiNotReadyException | Exception thrown when a method that requires the Didomi SDK to be ready is called before that. Developers can call this method within a try/catch or within a lambda expression passed into the |
Returns
Nothing
Example
showPreferences
In most cases this method should be called if you want to show the Preferences screen in response to a user action (the user pressing a "Consent Preferences" button in your app menu, for instance).
Show the Preferences view to the user. This method can be used to allow the user to update their preferences after the banner has been closed. We suggest adding a link/button/item that calls this method somewhere in your app, for example from your settings menu. By default, the Purposes view is displayed first. By calling this method, users will have the opportunity to modify the choices previously made.
Parameters
Type | |
---|---|
FragmentActivity | Activity used to get the Support Fragment Manager to display the Preferences view. |
String (Optional) | Defines which view is displayed to the user first between the purposes view or the vendors view. We expose the values to provide on the Didomi class as |
Throws

DidomiNotReadyException | Exception thrown when a method that requires the Didomi SDK to be ready is called before that. Developers can call this method within a try/catch or within a lambda expression passed into the |
Returns
Nothing
Example
updateSelectedLanguage
Method used to update the selected language of the Didomi SDK and any property that depends on it.
In most cases this method doesn't need to be called. It would only be required for those apps that allow language change on-the-fly, i.e.: from within the app rather than from the device settings.
If your configuration involves country code (en-US
), you can provide a locale code to change the regional configuration as well. If only language code (en
) is provided and your configuration requires a country code, the country from the device location will be used (and will fallback to the default country if required).
In order to update the language of the views displayed by the Didomi SDK, this method needs to be called before these views are displayed.
Requires SDK to be initialized
Yes.
Parameters

Dictionary/map | Dictionary/map containing the translations for an specific key in different languages, with the form { "en:" "text in English", "fr": "texte en Français" } |
Example
getTranslatedText
Method used to get a translated text based on the key being passed.
The language and the source of this translated text will depend on the availability of the translation for the specific key.
The language being used will be either the selected language of the SDK (based on device Locale and other parameters) or the language specified by app developers as the default language being used by the SDK. The source can be either the didomi_config.json
file, which can be either local or remote, or a file that is bundled within the SDK.
These are the attempts performed by the SDK to try to find a translation for the specific key:
Get translated value in user locale (selected language) from
didomi_config.json
(either local or remote).Get translated value in default locale (from the config) from
didomi_config.json
(either local or remote).Get translated value in user locale (selected language) from the Didomi-provided translations (bundled within the Didomi SDK).
Get translated value in default locale (from the config) from the Didomi-provided translations (bundled within the Didomi SDK).
If no translation can be found after these 4 attempts, the key will be returned.
App developers can provide these translated texts through the didomi_config.json
file (locally or remotely) in 3 different ways:
Custom texts for the consent notice: https://developers.didomi.io/cmp/mobile-sdk/consent-notice/customize-the-notice#texts
Custom texts for the preferences: https://developers.didomi.io/cmp/mobile-sdk/consent-notice/customize-the-preferences-popup#text
Custom texts for custom notices: https://developers.didomi.io/cmp/mobile-sdk/consent-notice/build-your-own-custom-notice#translatable-texts-for-custom-notices
