`https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/usagereporting/DismissAction` is a built-in AppSearch document type that contains different metrics. Clients can report the user's dismiss actions on a `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/app/SearchResult` document.

- Dismiss action means the user showed uninterest and took actions on the result document, such as hitting the X button to dismiss the item from the result list.
- It is possible that the user hovered, clicked and opened the result document first, then dismissed it (or other actions expressing uninterest) after viewing it. In this case, `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/usagereporting/ImpressionAction`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/usagereporting/ClickAction`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/usagereporting/DismissAction` occurred at the same time, but it is recommended that only a single `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/usagereporting/DismissAction` should be reported for this result document in order to report a negative signal to AppSearch for future ranking demotion.

In order to use this document type, the client must explicitly set this schema type via `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/app/SetSchemaRequest.Builder#addDocumentClasses(java.lang.Class<?>...)`.

Dismiss actions can be used as signals to demote ranking via `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/app/JoinSpec` API in future search requests.

Since `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/usagereporting/DismissAction` is an AppSearch document, the client can handle deletion via `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/app/AppSearchSession#removeAsync(androidx.appsearch.app.RemoveByDocumentIdRequest)` or document time-to-live (TTL). The default TTL is 60 days.

## Public constructors

### DismissAction

Added in [1.2.0-alpha02](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/appsearch#1.2.0-alpha02)

```
@ExperimentalAppSearchApi
public DismissAction(@NonNull DismissAction.BuilderBase<@NonNull ?> builder)
```

Constructs a `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/usagereporting/DismissAction` from a `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/usagereporting/DismissAction.BuilderBase`.

| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `@https://jspecify.dev/docs/api/org/jspecify/annotations/NonNull.html https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/usagereporting/DismissAction.BuilderBase<@https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/NonNull ?> builder` | The builder to construct the `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/usagereporting/DismissAction` from. |

## Public methods

### getQuery

Added in [1.1.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/appsearch#1.1.0)

```
public @Nullable String getQuery()
```

Returns the user-entered search input (without any operators or rewriting) that yielded the `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/app/SearchResult` which impressed the user.

### getReferencedQualifiedId

Added in [1.1.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/appsearch#1.1.0)

```
public @Nullable String getReferencedQualifiedId()
```

Returns the qualified id of the `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/app/SearchResult` document that impressed the user.

A qualified id is a string generated by package, database, namespace, and document id. See `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/util/DocumentIdUtil#createQualifiedId(java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String)` for more details.

### getResultRankGlobal

Added in [1.1.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/appsearch#1.1.0)

```
public int getResultRankGlobal()
```

Returns the global rank of the `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/app/SearchResult` document.

Global rank reflects the order of `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/app/SearchResult` documents returned by AppSearch.

For example, AppSearch returns 2 pages with 10 `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/app/SearchResult` documents for each page. Then the global ranks of them will be 1 to 10 for the first page, and 11 to 20 for the second page.

If unset, then the global rank of the `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/app/SearchResult` document will be set to -1 to mark invalid.

### getResultRankInBlock

Added in [1.1.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/appsearch#1.1.0)

```
public int getResultRankInBlock()
```

Returns the rank of the `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/app/SearchResult` document among the user-defined block.

The client can define its own custom definition for block, e.g. corpus name, group, etc.

For example, a client defines the block as corpus, and AppSearch returns 5 documents with corpus = \["corpus1", "corpus1", "corpus2", "corpus3", "corpus2"\]. Then the block ranks of them = \[1, 2, 1, 1, 2\].

If the client is not presenting the results in multiple blocks, they should set this value to match `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/usagereporting/DismissAction#getResultRankGlobal()`.

If unset, then the block rank of the `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appsearch/app/SearchResult` document will be set to -1 to mark invalid.
