I'm trying to implement GA v4 for my app. And I have read docs here, looked here and searched SO for the answer, but all what I found (enableAutoActivityTracking not automatically tracking activities?) did not helped me.
I done some changes to example in the docs and I have this in my Application subclass:
package com.example;
import ...
public class AppSubclass extends Application {
private static final String TAG = "AppSubclass";
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
initIrrImageLoader();
...
initGoogleAnalytics();
}
private void initGoogleAnalytics() {
GoogleAnalytics analytics = GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this);
// True to prevent sending reports to server (for debugging)
analytics.setDryRun(true);
analytics.setLocalDispatchPeriod(10); // In seconds, default 1800
analytics.getLogger().setLogLevel(Logger.LogLevel.VERBOSE);
// Enable automatic activity tracking
analytics.enableAutoActivityReports(this);
}
//region GOOGLE ANALYTICS TRACKERS INIT
private static final String PROPERTY_ID = "UA-XXXXXXXX-1";
public static int GENERAL_TRACKER = 0;
// We will use only one tracker for now. You can use multiple,
// see https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/android/v4/
Tracker mAppTracker;
public enum TrackerName {
APP_TRACKER, // Tracker used only in this app.
GLOBAL_TRACKER, // Tracker used by all the apps from a company. eg: roll-up tracking.
ECOMMERCE_TRACKER, // Tracker used by all ecommerce transactions from a company.
}
public synchronized Tracker getTracker(TrackerName trackerId) {
if (mAppTracker == null) {
GoogleAnalytics analytics = GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this);
mAppTracker = analytics.newTracker(R.xml.app_tracker);
}
return mAppTracker;
}
//endregion
}
And in my res/xml/app_tracker.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<!-- App property id. -->
<string name="ga_trackingId">UA-XXXXXXXX-1</string>
<!-- Enable automatic Activity measurement -->
<bool name="ga_autoActivityTracking">true</bool>
<!-- The screen names that will appear in reports -->
<string name="com.example.SomeActivity">
SomeActivity
</string>
<!-- Timeout after stopping till new session start -->
<integer name="ga_sessionTimeout">600</integer>
<!-- Report uncaught exceptions -->
<bool name="ga_reportUncaughtExceptions">true</bool>
</resources>
So, I have few questions:
Why neither ga_autoActivityTracking nor analytics.enableAutoActivityReports(this) helps? I don't see any dispatching in log. Nothing after
Thread[main,5,main]: Connected to service
, but all is ok when I sending screens manually.I don't understand what this constant is for (in examples):
public static int GENERAL_TRACKER = 0;
Do I need to have to use
TrackerName
enum andgetTracker(TrackerName trackerId)
method if I only want to automatically track activities.
Thanks in advance, I really appreciate any help!
