google-analytics-plugin

Cordova (PhoneGap) 3.0+ Plugin to connect to Google's native Universal Analytics SDK 3.0

Prerequisites:

• A Cordova 3.0+ project for iOS and/or Android
• A Mobile App property through the Google Analytics Admin Console
• Download the Google Analytics SDK 3.0 for iOS and/or Android
• For iOS, add the downloaded Google Analytics SDK header files and libraries according to the Getting Started documentation
• For Android, add libGoogleAnalyticsServices.jar to your Cordova Android project's /libs directory and build path

#Installing

This plugin follows the Cordova 3.0 plugin spec, so it can be installed through the Cordova CLI in your existing Cordova project:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/danwilson/google-analytics-plugin.git

If you are not using the CLI, follow the steps in the section Installing Without the CLI

#JavaScript Usage In your 'deviceready' handler, set up your Analytics tracker:

• analytics.startTrackerWithId('UA-XXXX-YY') where UA-XXXX-YY is your Google Analytics Mobile App property

To track a Screen (PageView):

• analytics.trackView('Screen Title')

To track an Event:

• analytics.trackEvent('Category', 'Action', 'Label') Label is optional

#Installing Without the CLI Copy the files manually into your project and add the following to your config.xml files:

<feature name="UniversalAnalytics">
  <param name="ios-package" value="UniversalAnalyticsPlugin" />
</feature>

<feature name="UniversalAnalytics">
  <param name="android-package" value="com.danielcwilson.plugins.analytics.UniversalAnalyticsPlugin" />
</feature>

#Integrating with Lavaca The lavaca directory includes a component that can be added to a Lavaca project. It offers a way to use the web analytics.js when the app is running in the browser and not packaged as Cordova.

• Copy AnalyticsService.js to your Lavaca project (I create a directory under js/app called data).
• In your config files (local.json, staging.json, production.js) create properties called google_analytics_id (for the Mobile App UA property) and google_analytics_web_id (for the Web UA property) and set the appropriate IDs or leave blank as needed.
• In any file you want to track screen views or events, require AnalyticsService and use the methods provided.

var analyticsService = require('app/data/AnalyticsService');

analyticsService.trackView('Home');
