I've set all things for google analytics api v4 as it mentioned here:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/android/v4/
and here:
http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2014/04/working-with-google-analytics-api-v4-for-android.html
I can see real time data but i could NOT see Screens, Active Users,New Users and Top Device Models in specific time period such as "All Time".
Analytic does not send screen views.
Here is my global_tracker.xml
<string name="ga_trackingId">UA-XXXXXXXX-Y</string>
<integer name="ga_sessionTimeout">300</integer>
<bool name="ga_autoActivityTracking">true</bool>
<bool name="ga_reportUncaughtExceptions">true</bool>
<screenName name="com.org.ScreenActivity1">Screen 1</screenName>
<screenName name="com.org.ScreenActivity2">Screen 2</screenName>
Here is my AndroidManifest.xml
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"/>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.analytics.globalConfigResource"
android:resource="@xml/global_tracker"/>
Here is my Analytics.java
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.
}
HashMap<TrackerName, Tracker> mTrackers = new HashMap<TrackerName, Tracker>();
public Analytics() {
super();
}
public synchronized Tracker getTracker(TrackerName trackerId) {
if (!mTrackers.containsKey(trackerId)) {
GoogleAnalytics analytics = GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this);
if (trackerId == TrackerName.GLOBAL_TRACKER) {
mTrackers.put(trackerId, analytics.newTracker(R.xml.global_tracker));
}
}
return mTrackers.get(trackerId);
}
Here is my Activity class:
protected void onCreate(Bundle bundle){
//......................
Tracker tracker = ((Analytics) getApplication()).getTracker(Analytics.TrackerName.GLOBAL_TRACKER);
tracker.setScreenName("Main Activity");
tracker.send(new HitBuilders.AppViewBuilder().build());
//......................
}
@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this).reportActivityStart(this);
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this).reportActivityStop(this);
}
The problem according to @stkent answer is that the AppViewBuilder()
is deprecated so you can fix your problem by deleteing this line of code that's what you need in your case
And to help people that have same problem after following this
delete this line of code
tracker.send(new HitBuilders.AppViewBuilder().build());
and add this instead
@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this).reportActivityStart(this);
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this).reportActivityStop(this);
}
in each activity you want to track
additional info from google doc about those 2 method
reportActivityStop
reportActivityStart
using this with auto tracking is a noop so you can disable it
the original answer is for @skent on this post
