What are the good conventions for Google Analytics on Android?

Question

I'm going to implement Google Analytics support in my Android app, but after some searches, the documentation looks delightfully rare. Are there any useful conventions or tips (i.e. when not to start pageviews / events or something else) that a newbie in GA should know about?

Answer 1

I also use events to report exceptions if users are too lazy to click the Report button. Also useful for exceptions that you handle internally, but want to understand and handle the user error.

An example of a later one - I have a numeric EditText (which even has inputType: number), but users still find ways to run NumberFormatExceptions, which I handle with the default value. When I saw how many times I did this business, I realized that I needed to better explain how to use this field.

Answer 2

Personally, I use pageviews only one for each action. Then I compare and record events when interacting with the user (button press, position selection, etc.). Almost the same as a real website.

Answer 3

Associated with Google Analytics in the Android app - with multiple actions
