Let’s implement the Google Analytics SDK onto your Android app. This Android SDK implementation assumes you use Android Studio and Google Play Services.<\/p>\n
In your Android app, add INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permissions to the AndroidManifest.xml file.<\/p>\n
\n ...\n<\/pre>\nBuild.gradle (Project-level & App-level)<\/h2>\n
In your Android app, it should have a build.gradle file on the project level, and a second build.gradle file on the app level.<\/p>\n
Add the dependency to your project-level build.gradle:<\/p>\n
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'<\/pre>\nAdd the plugin to your app-level build.gradle:<\/p>\n
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'<\/pre>\nAdd the dependency to your app-level build.gradle:<\/p>\n
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:9.2.0'<\/pre>\nConfiguration File<\/h2>\n
Download the google-services.json file (i.e. configuration file). Copy and paste the configuration file onto the app\/ directory of your Android Studio project.<\/p>\n
https:\/\/developers.google.com\/mobile\/add?platform=android&cntapi=analytics&cnturl=https:%2F%2Fdevelopers.google.com%2Fanalytics%2Fdevguides%2Fcollection%2Fandroid%2Fv4%2Fapp%3Fconfigured%3Dtrue&cntlbl=Continue%20Adding%20Analytics<\/pre>\nAnalyticsApplication.java<\/h2>\n
Create a new file AnalyticsApplication.java which extends the Application and provides a helper method that returns your application’s tracker.<\/p>\n
package com.google.samples.quickstart.analytics;\nimport android.app.Application;\nimport com.google.android.gms.analytics.GoogleAnalytics;\nimport com.google.android.gms.analytics.Tracker;\npublic class AnalyticsApplication extends Application {\n private Tracker mTracker;\n synchronized public Tracker getDefaultTracker() {\n if (mTracker == null) {\n GoogleAnalytics analytics = GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this);\n mTracker = analytics.newTracker(R.xml.global_tracker);\n }\n return mTracker;\n }\n}<\/pre>\nMainActivity.java<\/h2>\n
Let’s add the tracking codes to Activities or Fragments of your Android app. The setup allows screen views to be tracked.<\/p>\n
In the onCreate method of your activity files (e.g. MainActivity, NextScreenActivity, etc) or the fragment files (e.g. FragmentActivity, etc), add the following:<\/p>\n
AnalyticsApplication application = (AnalyticsApplication) getApplication();\nmTracker = application.getDefaultTracker();<\/pre>\nIn the onResume method of your activity files or onPageSelected of ViewPager, add the following:<\/p>\n
Log.i(TAG, \"Setting screen name: \" + name);\nmTracker.setScreenName(\"Image~\" + name);\nmTracker.send(new HitBuilders.ScreenViewBuilder().build());<\/pre>\nAdd these same codes to all Activities or Fragments which represent \u201cscreens\u201d.<\/p>\n
