#Google Analytics Annotations

Android library to use Google Analytics through annotations.

Installation

In your build.gradle file add these lines :

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.github.mbiamont:ga-annotations-plugin:1.1.1'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'GAAnnotations'

(...)

dependencies {
    (...)
    compile 'com.github.mbiamont:ga-annotations-library:1.2.1'
}

Usage

Initialization

In the onCreate() method of your Application class, add this line :

  AnalyticsManager.getInstance().init(context, "YOUR_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_TRACKER_ID");

Track event

@TrackEvent(category = "ui_action", action = "on_click", label = "on_click_login_button", value = 1)
private void onLoginButtonClicked(){
  (...)
}

Track screen

@TrackScreen(name = "MainActivity")
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  (...)
}

More

Use multiple TrackerId

If you have to use multiple trackerId in your application, you can define for each event or screen the tracker to use.

Example :

@TrackScreen(trackerId= "UA-XXXX1", name = "MainActivity")
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  (...)
}

DebugMode

If you just want to check if the tracks are correctly implemented; you can use the debugMode. It'll print tracks in LogCat instead of send them.

Just replace AnalyticsManager.getInstance().init() by

AnalyticsManager.getInstance().debugMode(context, true);

Manual track

Sometimes, you cannot use annotations (if your tracks require a condition for example). In this case, you can use trackers manually :

private void onLoginButtonClicked(){
  if(user.isLogged()){
    AnalyticsManager.getInstance().trackEvent(new Event.Builder()
            .withCategory("ui_action")
            .withAction("on_click")
            .withLabel("on_click_login_button")
            .build());
    //or simply : AnalyticsManager.getInstance().trackEvent("ui_action", "on_click", "on_click_login_button", 1);
  }
  (...)
}

or

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

  if(user.isLogged()){
    AnalyticsManager.getInstance().trackScreen("MainActivity");
  }
  (...)
}
