Question

I’m messing around “Google Analytics” for tracking user behavior. I’m able to track pageViews and click of the button.

I’m facing problem in sending the string from the edittext on onClick() method to analytic server.

I have tried using :

tracker.trackEvent(arg0, arg1, arg2, arg3);

But no success. Please guide me where am I doing wrong.

Here is the code in which I’m taking string from the edittext and on OnClick(), I want to send it to the server:

tracker.trackEvent("Application Android",
                    "viewPageFromCategory", txt, 0);
            tracker.dispatch();

Here txt is the string from edittext.

You’re passing 0 for the event “value”. I think that means the event occurred 0 times, and so there is nothing to track.

See https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/eventTrackerGuide#Values:

The value is interpreted as a number and the report adds the total values based on each event count

If you enable verbose debugging of the GA library, you can see in a bit more detail what (if anything) is being pushed up to Google:

tracker = GoogleAnalyticsTracker.getInstance();
tracker.setDebug(true); /* send all updates to the log */
tracker.setDryRun(true); /* Do not actually send updates on the network */
