Question

I have created a testing Google Analytics sample app as directed in on Google Analytics SDK for Android documentation and I have initiated Tracking in my code using:

tracker = GoogleAnalyticsTracker.getInstance();
tracker.trackEvent(
            "Clicks",  // Category
            "Button",  // Action
            "clicked", // Label
            77);  

And

tracker.trackPageView("/HomeScreen");
tracker.dispatch();

I have created a Google Analytics account, In my account if go to Analytics setting tab. I am getting the status as “Tracking Unknown”

I tried clicking on the edit and clicked check status, Then too I am Getting “Tracking Not Installed”

For Reference My code is:

public class GAnalytics extends Activity {

  GoogleAnalyticsTracker tracker;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    tracker = GoogleAnalyticsTracker.getInstance();
    tracker.start("UA-19487404-1",20, this);

    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    Button createEventButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.NewEventButton);
    createEventButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v) {
        tracker.trackEvent(
            "Clicks",  // Category
            "Button",  // Action
            "clicked", // Label
            77);       // Value
      }
    });

    Button createPageButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.NewPageButton);
    createPageButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v) {
        tracker.trackPageView("/HomeScreen");
      }
    });

    Button quitButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.QuitButton);
    quitButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v) {
        finish();
      }
    });

    Button dispatchButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.DispatchButton);
    dispatchButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v) {
        tracker.dispatch();
      }
    });
  }

  @Override
  protected void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    super.onDestroy();
    tracker.dispatch();
    tracker.stop();
  }
}

Please point me where I am doing wrong.

Answer 1

Have you started the tracker after your call to .getInstance()?
Like this:

tracker.start("UA-YOUR-ACCOUNT-HERE", this);

You also need to call the following to send the data to Google Analytics:

tracker.dispatch();
