Products variable

Set the products variable
Since the products variable cannot be set by processing rules, you need to set serialized events directly on the hits that are sent to Analytics.
To set the products variable, set a context data key to &&products, and set the value to the products or merchandising variable. For more information, see the implementing a merchandising variable tutorial.

Syntax 
cdata.put("&&products", "Category;Product;Quantity;Price[,Category;Product;Quantity;Price]");
Example 
//create a context data dictionary
HashMap cdata = new HashMap<String, String>();
// add products, a purchase id, a purchase context data key, and any other data you want to collect.
// Note the special syntax for products
cdata.put("&&products", ";Running Shoes;1;69.95,;Running Socks;10;29.99");
cdata.put("myapp.purchase", "1");
cdata.put("myapp.purchaseid", "1234567890");
// send the tracking call - use either a trackAction or trackState call.
// trackAction example:
MobileCore.trackAction("purchase", cdata);
// trackState example:
MobileCore.trackState("Order Confirmation", cdata);

A sample network request can be seen in the image below:
products is set directly on the image request, and the other variables are set as context data. All context data variables must be mapped by using processing rules:
You do not need to map the products variable using processing rules because it is set directly on the image request by the SDK.

If you trigger a product-specific event by using the &&products variable, you must also set that event in the &&events variable. If you do not set that event, it is filtered out during processing.
