Question: analyticsContext.putDeviceToken in new SDK?

[amusejfo]

Hi, I am in the process of migrating from the old segment android sdk to this new one, we are running analytics.analyticsContext.putDeviceToken in the old one for some reason (We do not know what it is supposted to be used for)
is there an alternative in the new SDK or is it not needed anymore?

hey @amusejfo, device token is not required. but if you want to keep using it for consistency purpose, you can write your own plugin to inject the token value. please follow this comment as an example. you will need to do something like below to add device token:

            event.context = updateJsonObject(event.context) { context ->
                context["device"] = updateJsonObject(device) { device ->
                    device["token"] = "YOUR TOKEN"
                }
            }

@wenxi-zeng event.putInContextUnderKey("device", "token", firebaseToken)
would be the same right?

@amusejfo yep, you're right. we actually have an equivalent method of analytics.analyticsContext.putDeviceToken. see here. it's not added to Analytics by default. you'd have to manually add it.
