OAID Service Component

Introduction

The Open Anonymous Device Identifier (OAID) service facilitates personalized ad placement based on OAIDs, each of which is a non-permanent device identifier. The service provides personalized ads for users while protecting their personal data privacy. It can also interact with third-party tracking platforms to provide conversion attribution analysis for advertisers.

How to Use

Obtaining an OAID

You can use the APIs provided in this repository to obtain OAIDs.

1. Request the ad tracking permission.

   Configure the ohos.permission.APP_TRACKING_CONSENT permission in the module.json5 file of the module.

   {
     "module": {
       "requestPermissions": [
         {
           "name": "ohos.permission.APP_TRACKING_CONSENT" // Request the ad tracking permission.
         }
       ]
     }
   }

2. Request authorization from the user by displaying a dialog box when the application is started.

   import abilityAccessCtrl from '@ohos.abilityAccessCtrl';
   
   private requestOAIDTrackingConsentPermissions(context: any): void {
     // Display a dialog box when the page is displayed to request the user to grant the ad tracking permission.
     const atManager = abilityAccessCtrl.createAtManager();
     try {
       atManager.requestPermissionsFromUser(context, ["ohos.permission.APP_TRACKING_CONSENT"]).then((data) => {
         if (data.authResults[0] == 0) {
           console.info(`request permission success`);
         } else {
           console.info(`user rejected`);
         }
       }).catch((err) => {
         console.error(`request permission failed, error message: ${err.message}`);
       })
     } catch(err) {
       console.error(`catch err->${JSON.stringify(err)}`);
     }
   }

3. Obtain an OAID.

• Obtain an OAID through the callback function.

  import identifier from '@ohos.identifier.oaid';
  
  private getOaidByCallback() {
    try {
      identifier.getOAID((err, data) => {
        if (err.code) {
          console.info(`getAdsIdentifierInfo failed, message: ${err.message}`);
  	  } else {
  		const oaid = data;
  		console.error(`getOaidFromOaidSaAPi by callback success`);
  	  }
  	});
    } catch (err) {
      console.error(`catch err->${JSON.stringify(err)}`);
    }
  }

• Obtain an OAID through the promise.

  import identifier from '@ohos.identifier.oaid';
  
  private getOaidByPromise() {
    try {
      // Obtain an OAID.
      identifier.getOAID().then((data) => {
        const oaid = data;
        console.info(`getAdsIdentifierInfo by promise success`);
      }).catch((err) => {
        console.error(`getAdsIdentifierInfo failed, message: ${err.message}`);
      })
    } catch (err) {
      console.error(`catch err->${JSON.stringify(err)}`);
    }
  }

Resetting the OAID

You can use the API provided in this repository to reset OAIDs. The API is a system API.

import identifier from '@ohos.identifier.oaid';
 
private resetOaid() {
  try {
    identifier.resetOAID();
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(`reset oaid catch error: ${err.code} ${err.message}`);
  }
}
