I have recently used Google Analytics to track pages and track events in My Titanium iOS Application. For that I have used
Roger Chapman's Titanium Google Analytics Library. I have followed the below steps
STEP 1 : Create Google Analytics AccountYou need to Create a Google Analytics Account click this link(
http://www.google.com/analytics/) to get started.
After successful creating the account you will get a Google Analytic ID like similar to this one
UA-18135349-1STEP 2 : Add Google Analytics to Titanium Appadd the below code in you
app.js file
var analytics = new Analytics('UA-18135349-1'); //replace it with your Google Analytics ID
analytics.reset();
Titanium.App.addEventListener('analytics_trackEvent', function(e){
analytics.trackEvent(e.category, e.action, e.label, e.value);
});
Titanium.App.addEventListener('analytics_trackPageview', function(e){
var pagename = (e.pageUrl);
analytics.trackPageview(pagename);
});
Titanium.App.Analytics = {
trackPageview:function(pageUrl){
Titanium.App.fireEvent('analytics_trackPageview', {pageUrl:pageUrl});
},
trackEvent:function(category, action, label, value){
Titanium.App.fireEvent('analytics_trackEvent', {category:category, action:action, label:label, value:value});
}
}
// Function takes an integer which is the dispatch interval in seconds
analytics.start(10);
// You don't need to call stop on application close, but this is just to show you can call stop at any time (Basically sets enabled = false)
Titanium.App.addEventListener('close', function(e){
analytics.stop();
});
STEP 3 : Track Pages in your win1.js(the page which you want to Track Page View) add the below code
// track page view on focus
win.addEventListener('focus', function(e){
Titanium.App.Analytics.trackPageview('all-listings/list-view'); // here 'all-listings/list-view' page url, you can use your custom url
});
STEP 4 : Track Events Add below code in EventListener of the Control which you want to track. For example in my app I have to track the
closeBtn event, so that I used below code
// pass the following parameters trackEvent(category, action, label, value)
closeBtn.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
Titanium.App.Analytics.trackEvent('Dialog','Cancel','CloseButton','');
win.close();
});
Okay. Cool now everything fine.But how to Check Google Analytics works or not?Normally Google Analytics Account Activation takes 12 hrs to 1 day(if you created the account newly)
After the activation you can use the below link for real time testing(It will shows the last 30minutes activities)
https://www.google.com/analytics/web/#realtimeFor
TrackEvent you can check this one
We can't test TrackEvent immediately like(realtime analytics). It takes some time to reflect the changes.
