Defining a News Feed category

This reference article shows how to define a News Feed category in your Android or FireOS application.

Instances of the Braze News Feed can be configured to only receive cards from a certain “category”. This allows for the effective integration of multiple News Feed streams within a single application. For more information on this feature, see our News Feed best practices

News Feed categories can be defined by calling the following methods as you load the News Feed:

1
2
3
4

newsFeed.setCategories(CardCategory.ALL_CATEGORIES);
newsFeed.setCategories(CardCategory.ADVERTISING);
newsFeed.setCategories(CardCategory.ANNOUNCEMENTS);
newsFeed.setCategories(CardCategory.NEWS);
newsFeed.setCategories(CardCategory.SOCIAL);
newsFeed.setCategories(CardCategory.NO_CATEGORY);

You can also populate a feed with a combination of categories as in the following example:

1
newsFeed.setCategories:EnumSet.of(CardCategory.ANNOUNCEMENTS, CardCategory.NEWS);
