Sample Codes
In order to help you to quick learn how to work with Google Analytics ME, here it goes some sample codes showing how to perform some common tasks.
- Tracking how many times a MIDlet is started up:
public class MediaPlayerMIDlet extends MIDlet {
public AppMIDlet() {
...
Tracker tracker = Tracker.getInstance(this, "UA-1736743-0");
tracker.addToQueue(new PageView("/midlet_started"));
...
}
...
}
- Tracking how many times a screen is displayed:
public class MediaPlayerScreen extends Form {
...
public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable d) {
if (c == cmdSongDetail) {
Tracker tracker = Tracker.getInstance(midlet, "UA-1736743-0");
tracker.addToQueue(new PageView("/song_detail"));
//
display.setCurrent(detailScreen);
}
...
}
...
}
- Tracking how many times a function of a screen is performed:
...
public void play() {
Tracker tracker = Tracker.getInstance(midlet, "UA-1736743-0");
tracker.addToQueue(new Event("/media_player", "Play", null, null));
...
}
...
- Tracking events synchronously:
...
public void rewind() {
Tracker tracker = Tracker.getInstance(midlet, "UA-1736743-0");
tracker.track(new Event("/media_player", "Rewind", null, null));
...
}
...
- Explicitly *flushing all queued events:
public class MediaPlayerMIDlet extends MIDlet {
...
public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) {
Tracker tracker = Tracker.getInstance(this, "UA-1736743-0");
tracker.flush(false);
}
}
*Make to sure to call this method (synchronously) before the app is destroyed. Otherwise, any queued requests will be lost.
