Android Integration 0.4.0

This page refers to integration samples for Android Tracker v0.4.0. This assumes you have already successfully gone through the Setup Guide for setting up all the dependencies for the tracker.

The following example classes are using the bare minimum of settings for building a Tracker. It is encouraged to flesh out the options for the Tracker and Emitter builders.

Contents

• 1. Classic Tracker
• 2. RxJava Tracker
• 3. Tracking Events

1. Classic Tracker

You will need to have imported the following library into your project:

dependencies {
    ...
    // Snowplow Android Tracker Classic
    compile 'com.snowplowanalytics:snowplow-android-tracker-classic:0.4.0'
}

Example class to return an Android Classic Tracker:

import com.snowplowanalytics.snowplow.tracker.*;
import android.content.Context;

public class TrackerBuilderClassic {

    public static Tracker getClassicTracker(Context context) {
        Emitter emitter = getClassicEmitter(context);
        Subject subject = getSubject(context);  // Optional

        return new Tracker
            .TrackerBuilder(emitter, "your-namespace", "your-appid",
                com.snowplowanalytics.snowplow.tracker.classic.Tracker.class)
            .subject(subject) // Optional
            .build();
    }

    private static Emitter getClassicEmitter(Context context) {
        return new Emitter
            .EmitterBuilder("notarealuri.fake.io", context,
                com.snowplowanalytics.snowplow.tracker.classic.Emitter.class)
            .build();
    }

    private static Subject getSubject(Context context) {
        return new Subject
            .SubjectBuilder()
            .context(context)
            .build();
    }
}

2. RxJava tracker

You will need to have imported the following library into your project:

dependencies {
    ...
    // Snowplow Android Tracker Rx
    compile 'com.snowplowanalytics:snowplow-android-tracker-rx:0.4.0'
}

Example class to return an Android RxJava Tracker:

import com.snowplowanalytics.snowplow.tracker.*;
import android.content.Context;

public class TrackerBuilderRx {

    public static Tracker getRxTracker(Context context) {
        Emitter emitter = getRxEmitter(context);
        Subject subject = getSubject(context); // Optional

        return new Tracker
            .TrackerBuilder(emitter, "your-namespace", "your-appid",
                com.snowplowanalytics.snowplow.tracker.rx.Tracker.class)
            .subject(subject) // Optional
            .build();
    }

    private static Emitter getRxEmitter(Context context) {
        return new Emitter
            .EmitterBuilder("notarealuri.fake.io", context,
                com.snowplowanalytics.snowplow.tracker.rx.Emitter.class)
            .build();
    }

    private static Subject getSubject(Context context) {
        return new Subject
            .SubjectBuilder()
            .context(context)
            .build();
    }
}

3. Tracking Events

Once you have successfully built your Tracker object you can track events with calls like the following:

Tracker tracker = getClassicTracker(context);
tracker.trackScreenView("someScreenName", "someScreenId");

For an outline of all available tracking combinations have a look here.
