Google Analytics, the best way to implement the code

Question

I'm developing an Android application, i would implement Google Analytics to track my application.

actually i use this code:

 @Override
 public void onStart() {
  super.onStart();
  Tracker tracker = GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this).getTracker("UA-xxxxxxx-1");
  tracker.set(Fields.SCREEN_NAME, "SCREEN NAME");
  tracker.send(MapBuilder.createAppView().set(Fields.customDimension(1), "Premium").build());
 }

I would know some information:

1) Is it or not wrong implements this code ? Do i must add something in OnDestroy(); function ?

2) i have 5 Activity and i want track it all and i want see in my Google Analytics account the differents screens that user seen during the using of my application, the code that i posted is it correct ?

Answer 1

Create an xml file under res/values/ called analytics.xml

And organize this way:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<resources>

<!--Replace placeholder ID with your tracking ID-->
<string name="ga_trackingId">UA-xxxxxxx-x</string>

<!--Enable automatic activity tracking-->
<bool name="ga_autoActivityTracking">true</bool>

<!--Enable automatic exception tracking-->
<bool name="ga_reportUncaughtExceptions">true</bool>

<string name="com.example.project.Class">Main Activity</string>
<string name="com.example.project.Class2">Activity 2</string>

</resources>

And in each Activity class, insert this before you close last bracket:

//Tracker methods...

    @Override
      public void onStart() {
        super.onStart();
        // The rest of your onStart() code.


        EasyTracker.getInstance(this).activityStart(this);  // Add this method.
      }

      @Override
      public void onStop() {
        super.onStop();
        // The rest of your onStop() code.
        EasyTracker.getInstance(this).activityStop(this);  // Add this method.
      }

      //Tracker method end...

Note: Imports for tacking will be automatically added. But make sure you have already settled with Google Service and libraries into your project before doing this.
