I am wondering what my options are for using GData and specifically the analytics api on android to build a small widget. After searching around for a while I couldnt come up with any libraries with decent examples.
Are there any dedicated libraries with some decent examples / doco to do this sort of thing? I would like to target 1.5 but if the are 2.0 only I guess that is fine too.

I am working on a mobile app on the Android platform (and going forward for the iPhone) and am evaluating the Flurry Analytics and Google Analytics platforms for the app. Both platforms have SDKs for the Android and the iPhone and seem very similar in most ways.

Well, of course I'd like to use referral tracking. It would be my whole reason to use Google Analytics instead of a more full featured analytics.
But what does this mean exactly?
Does it mean: Start the tracker somewhere else? (where? onStart) Don't start it at all - it will get started for you? You can't use a tracker if you are using referral tracking?
Has anybody used referral tracking so they can give me some tips?
I have created a tested Google Analytics sample app as directed in http://code.google.com/mobile/analytics/docs/android/gle.com/mobile/analytics/docs/android/
And I have initiated Tracking in my code using
CODE:.............
And
CODE:.............
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:
CODE:....................
I needed to track install information, so i used com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER intent for google analytics: http://code.google.com/mobile/analytics/docs/android/
I have put that intent into manifest as following:
<receiver android:name="com.mycompany.MyReceiver" android:exported="true"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER" /> </intent-filter> </receiver>
Inside MyReceiver class, i've implemented:
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { String referrer = URLDecoder.decode(intent.getStringExtra("referrer")) Log.d(TAG, referrer); com.google.android.apps.analytics.AnalyticsReceiver receiver = new com.google.android.apps.analytics.AnalyticsReceiver(); receiver.onReceive(context, intent);}
Then i installed app using generated at http://code.google.com/mobile/analytics/docs/android/#android-market-... url, and got this in log:
DEBUG/TestApplication(31977): utm_source=androidmarket&utm_medium=device&utm_campaign=search&utm_term=pname:com.mycompany.test.market&rowindex=0&hl=en&correctedQuery= WARN/googleanalytics(31532): Badly formatted referrer missing campaign, name or source WARN/googleanalytics(31532): Badly formatted referrer, ignored
So, instead of referral data that was given at url generation, i've got data which looks like i was searching for my app at Market
Does anyone have this kind of trouble, or knows how to help?
I do want to implement the Google Analytics for mobile on my android application using the sdk provided on this page http://code.google.com/intl/it-IT/mobile/analytics/docs/android/
Does someone knows, before i start to integrate it, if it tracks the keywords people used on the android market in order to arrive and install my application ?
If it does not, which would be the purpose of using this ?
I am trying to integrate the application I am developing with google calendar. The code I wrote for the calendar integration works in a java standalone project.
The problem is that I am getting an error when in my app I do the actions that uses the code that "talks" to the calendar api. I have created a "libs" folder in the root of my app project to put all the libraries I need. Then add jar from the build path config screen (in eclipse).

What I'd like to do is avoid asking the user for their username/password since the Android device already has access to their Google account.
I believe I should be able to do this with setUserToken(String), but I can't figure out how to get the appropriate token from Android. I've tried AccountManager.get(context).blockingGetAuthToken() but that's either not the correct call or I'm passing it the wrong arguments.

I am trying to work with the Google Docs API in an application for Android.

I followed the instructions I found here: http://code.google.com/p/gdata-java-client-eclipse-plugin/wiki/Installation and could not get the EMF to install.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a program whose job is to parse a schema from a course at university (html) and synchronize it with a calendar in Google Calendar. A must-have requirements from the author is that the user must enter their user information (x...@gmail.com) then connect via the Calendar API to calendar services. ** The smartphone calendar via Intent is not okay to use **
The main problem is that there is no GData (Dalvik Java) for Android. But I checked on GitHub and found that there seems to be something going on com.google.wireless.gdata: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/external/gdata.git,a=summary Searched around and found some packets like simply-android-GData and GData on code.google.com, but none of them help with the structure of calendrar, and they can login to retrieve data rss, json, atom.
So my question is then whether someone has a solution that works quite well as a possible. next update of the SDK will provide, a full GData API?
Is it possible to compile a custom SDK from git and get with the functionality of git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/external/gdata.git?
Minimum functionality: View Calendars View Events Add Events Delete Events
I'm writing an android 2.1 application that writes an entry to my Google calendar.
The relevant part of my application code looks like this:
CODE:..........
This code compiles with no errors, using Eclipse on MacOS, using external jar files from the Google gdata project: gdata/java/lib/gdata-calendar-2.0.jar gdata/java/lib/gdata-calendar-meta-2.0.jar
I export the application through Eclipse to generate the .apk file which I install on my N-1 phone. However the application cannot find the CalendarService class, giving me the following runtime error:
CODE:........................
When developing other android applications the "external jar files" always seem to be cross-compiled and packed into the apk file - so I do not understand why the app cannot find the CalendarService class.
I have been looking for a solution, but the only format that I can get a response to the profile API is in HTML. That is not very reliable for getting something like a list of the blogger's reading list. I have been able to get the default/blogs with my auth token and have the result returned in JSON. I then used that to get the author's blog-id .. and then .. the profile (which has the reading list). Howver, when I request it in JSON (i.e., ?v=2/alt=json) at the end of the URI, it still returns HTML. Is there a better way?

View 1 Replies View RelatedTracking events and setting up Analytics for Websites seems easy. You create an account with one of the Analytics service providers like Google. They give you javascript code that you embed in your pages (whichever event you wish to track) and voila..you're done.
I have written a native application for Android phones, which is actually an adaptation of the actual web site. Now, I am required to setup Analytics and tracking for this native application.
Question:
How to do setup a native application for Analytics? We have Java Script code(not Google Analytics but for some other engine) that works for the original web site. Is there a way to incorporate that in the native application? I know Android supports Java Script via WebViews(Webkit);my application does not have webviews, it is native!
I have not worked on JavaScript since school so excuse me if I sound naive.
A few months ago Google sent top market developers a feww phone (Droid or Nexus).I was one of them and received a Droid.I just now called in to activate the Droid on my Verizon account and was told that it is not activated.They said that the ESN number is tied to a business account and currently active.Verizon said the only thing I can do is to contact Google, who sent me the phone, and work it out with them.The paperwork with the phone came with no numbers or email addresses.I have tried calling the Nexus support line, they could not direct me anywhere. I have tried emailing the automated robots that sent me emails about the phone.Is there anyone at Google that I can contact that would be able to help with this?

I'm not sure who the attorneys for Verizon are, but Google must have done some deft negotiations to be able to pull this off. They just shafted Motorala, Verizon - and us - in the butt. I'm pretty sure, post Christmas, Droid updates and fixes will become non-existent as Google focuses on their own offering. Google is indeed Microsoft with a crayola logo.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have searched around for an answer to these two issues, but haven't been able to find anything. After doing the manual upgrade to 2.1 OTA, most everything is fine. However, Google Voice and Google Listen are having issues. Google Voice is giving me a Force Close message every time I receive a text message in Hand cent SMS (to my non-GV number). I don't actually use GV on my voice all that often. Google Listen seems to have lost all trace of any of my pod casts, including new ones that have come in since the update. Every episode on every pod cast has, just under the title: "Error (sd card/com.goggle.android.apps.listen/downloads/e55bee71)" The string of letters and numbers on each one is different. I used Astor File Manager to look in this folder and each of those files is not there. Some of these folders were downloaded a month ago (I'm a little slow in getting to some pod casts) and some I have listened to already pre update but still getting the error now. Some that I have listened to are not giving the error. And any that were downloaded after the update are giving the error.
