CookiesConsent for Android

Android library to inform EU users of the use of cookies. The alert can be shown via dialog or an overlay view.

Gradle

Add the next dependency to your gradle.build

compile 'com.github.carlosph:cookiesconsent:0.9.5'

Usage

On the onCreate method of your MainActivity, create a new CookiesConsetDialog or CookiesConsetOverlay and call the method showIfApplies().

To add a link to your privacy policy use the method setPolicyUrl(String policyUrl).

If you need to run some code only when the user has given the consent (i.e. ads or analytics code), you can set a CookiesConsentListener, and the code on its onCookiesAllowed method will be executed only when the user is not from the EU or he has already being notified about the use of cookies.

Additionally you can use the method CookiesConsentAlert.isConsentNeeded(Context context) anywhere in your code to know if the user has yet to give consent about the use of cookies.

#Example

To show the dialog or the overlay to EU users when they open the app for the first time just add the following code:

Dialog

new CookiesConsentDialog(this)  .setPolicyUrl("https://github.com/Carlosph/CookiesConsent")  .showIfApplies();

Overlay

new CookiesConsentOverlay(this)  .setPolicyUrl("https://github.com/Carlosph/CookiesConsent")  .showIfApplies();

With listener

If you want to run some code only when users are not from EU or when they have already given consent to the use of cookies, you can use a listener. The code would be something like this:

new CookiesConsentOverlay(this)
  .setPolicyUrl("https://github.com/Carlosph/CookiesConsent")
  .setListener(new CookiesConsentAlert.CookiesConsentListener() {

@Override

public void onCookiesAllowed() {

 // Code for non EU users or users
 // which have already given consent

}

  
}
)
  .showIfApplies();
