It would be nice to have support for custom variables when tracking the 
analytics.

custom variables are documented here: 
http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/gaTrackingCustomVariables.ht
ml

thanks for your nice work.

Nature of the problem?
 Although there are metrics of "Average Time" for page views, I see no
 way to record a response time for a Java application.

What is the desired output? What do you see instead?
 I would like to know how to record information that would tell me
 the kinds of response times users are getting, and the amount of
 time processes are taking (if they are asynchronous).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
 Using Java 1.6 on Linux.  JGoogleAnalytics_0.4.jar


Please provide any additional information below.
 I thought of using a custom URL builder, but realized that rather than
 an x=y, the __utmv seems to record only tags, not name/value pairs.

Otherwise, I found the process very easy to use with lots of valuable 
information.  I use it for other projects as well.
Thanks,

The google analytics for android sdk sends information about the phone to the 
google analytics service.

AnalyticsConfigData should have a field for the user agent and then that field 
could be generated according to the platform.

Currently on android the user agent is generated as:

String.format("%s/%s (Linux; U; Android %s; %s-%s; %s; Build/%s)", new Object[] 
{ userAgentProduct, userAgentVersion, Build.VERSION.RELEASE, 
(locale.getLanguage() != null) ? locale.getLanguage().toLowerCase() : "en", 
(locale.getCountry() != null) ? locale.getCountry().toLowerCase() : "", 
Build.MODEL, Build.ID });

using the information from the android api.

Could the method "trackevent" uses custom variables? 

example:

tracker.trackEvent(setCustomVar)


Thanks in advance for the answer.

The current trunk with VisitorData is not on Maven. Would be nice to access it 
via maven.

there is an escaping error when building the utmcc parameter

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Put JGoogleAnalyticsTracker-1.2.1-SNAPSHOT.jar, slf4j-api-1.6.6.jar, 
slf4j-simple-1.6.6.jar into Libraries of Project

2. Run Project to execute

3. Report SLF4J error: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".

( Same result with 
JGoogleAnalyticsTracker-1.2.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar only )

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Is there any way to fix this?
http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder said should solve this with 
slf4j-simple-1.6.6.jar, but I've done it.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
JGoogleAnalyticsTracker-1.2.1, WinXP, Eclipse

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. track event
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
URI parsing exception


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
downloaded latest from Download section


Please provide any additional information below.
replaced this "%7utmcmd%3D" to "%7Cutmcmd%3D" and it worked

There should be a way to configure the analytics data for the android phone 
using the android data.

I have an initial version on this project 
https://github.com/gemserk/jgoogleanalyticstracker-platform

the project uses the jgoogleanalyticstracker library as a dependency and 
provides a way to configure the analytics tracker from android and desktop.

for now I can configure:
 * encoding
 * locale
 * screen width and height

is it working with ga.js? or even with analytics.js?

Hi,
I've a problem with trackevent() method. I implemented the code for the 
tracking of events in the correct way. I say correct way because events in the 
content section are updated. But I noticed that not all events that I send are 
tracked. 


Thanks in advance for the answer.

I am making games that run on the desktop as well as on android.

This library fails to work on android because when loading the 
com.dmurph.tracking.AnalyticsConfigData class and running validation on it, it 
finds the calls to awt that are not present on android, so it fails to load the 
class.

I think splitting this class so the populateFromSystem method is in another 
class that wouldn't be loaded when using it from android would allow this 
library to be used on android.

I am not using the official google analytics for android library because I want 
my code to be common between desktop and android, and the android library won't 
work on the desktop.

The method to start the background thread is private, so it can't be explicitly 
started after it's been stopped.

Workaround: call setMode(DispatchMode.SINGLE_THREAD), which automatically 
starts the dispatch thread if needed.

Android analytics supports the measure of unique visitors, from looking at the 
official google analytics for android SDK in order to use that from the 
jgoogleanalyticstracker we need to do some stuff:

 * be able to maintain a visitorId throughout all of the visits from the same visitor
 * keep track of some timestamps 

right now the code does
&utmcc=__utma%3D"+cookie1+"."+cookie2+"."+now+"."+now+"."+now+"."+"13

the android code does

StringBuilder cookieString = new StringBuilder();
     cookieString.append("__utma=");
     cookieString.append(FAKE_DOMAIN_HASH).append(".");
     cookieString.append(event.userId).append(".");
     cookieString.append(event.timestampFirst).append(".");
     cookieString.append(event.timestampPrevious).append(".");
     cookieString.append(event.timestampCurrent).append(".");
     cookieString.append(event.visits);


FAKE_DOMAIN_HASH is just a constant set to 999 in the sdk, userId is the 
persisted visitorId, the other timestamps track the time of first visit with 
this visitorId, the time of the last visit, and the current time, and then it 
sends how many times we started a visit with this visitorId



I think that we should add all this parameters as part of the 
AnalyticsConfigData and then provide simple implementations of how to store 
them depending on platform, like on desktop using java.util.prefs.Preferences 
and on android using SharedPreferences

couldnt find support for it...
