如何跟踪用户在Google Analytics屏幕上花费的时间

Question

I am trying to use Google Analytics in my iOS app. I have tracked the events and screens. I want to track the time user spent on specific screens. How I can achieve this?

Answer 1

When it comes to Google Analytics I like to be creative. Here's my possible solution:

- (void)viewDidAppear
{
 _startingTime = [NSDate date];

---

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
 _endingTime = [NSDate date];
 NSTimeInterval distanceBetweenDates = [_startingTime timeIntervalSinceDate:_endingTime];
 NSInteger minutesBetweenDates = distanceBetweenDates / 60;

---

Then, you might use Screens to send the data to your reports.

id tracker = [[GAI sharedInstance] defaultTracker];

[tracker set:kGAIScreenName
       value:@"Home Screen %d", minutesBetweenDates];

[tracker send:[[GAIDictionaryBuilder createScreenView] build]];

---

For more precision on the time interval you might be interested in this method .

Alternatively, you may use Events to achieve the same objective.
