This is is a tutorial on how to implement Blue Triangle's Analytics SDK for android on a new or existing app. In this tutorial, we cover how to set up tracker with your site prefix and how to set timers for fragments, actions, and asynchronous functions. We also mention how to set up page names and traffic segments for various timers.
The JCenter repo can be found here https://bintray.com/bluetriangle/Blue-Triangle-SDK/com.bluetriangle%3Aanalytics
Code for this tutorial is hosted here https://github.com/BlueTriangleMarketing/Blue-Triangle-SDK-Example
Documentation can be found here - Android SDK - Documentation PDF
Usage:
- In the project build gradle file add the following repository:
maven {
url "https://dl.bintray.com/bluetriangle/Blue-Triangle-SDK/"
}
2. In the app gradle add the following:
implementation 'com.bluetriangle:analytics:1.0.0'
3. Sync your project
4. Import tracker class to the main activity:
import com.bluetriangle.analytics.Tracker;
5. In the main activity class define a variable for the tracker:
private Tracker tracker;
6. Initialize your tracker with your site prefix in the "onCreate()":
tracker = Tracker.init(getApplicationContext(), "yourSitePrefix", null);
7. Create a timer
8. Import the timer class:
import com.bluetriangle.analytics.Timer;
9. Create a timer with a page name and traffic segment:
final Timer timer = new Timer("YourPageName", "YourTrafficSegment").start();
10. The start method of the timer class, starts the timer, to end the timer, and to submit it to the Blue Triangle portal, use the following:
timer.end().submit();
11. To add custom variables and fields to the submission, use the following:
timer.setField("CV1","custom string 1");
timer.setPageName("Second test for custom vars");
timer.setCampaign("My Campaign Name","My Traffic Source","My Medium");
timer.end().submit();
12. Field names for the custom variables:
CV1 - CV5 Maps to Custom Variable 1 - 5 in the portal
CV6 - CV10 Maps to Custom Category 1 – 5 in the portal
CV11 - CV15 Maps to Variable 6-10 in the Portal
CN1 - CN20 is Custom Numeric 1 - 20
