GoogleAnalytics

A quick and simple limited feature implemenetation of the Google Analytics Measurement Protocol API in Java.

This GoogleAnalytics.java implementation relies on the Lombok code generation annotation library to generate a Builder class to allow for composing the fields of a GoogleAnalytics request.

Notes:

• The /collect and /debug/collect endpoints are supported.
• The /batch endpoit is not supported.
• Both POST and GET http request types are availabe. POST is the default.
• To enable debug mode use GoogleAnalytics.setDebug(true). It will update the endpoint to /debug/collect and set logging level to Level.ALL for verbose logging.
• To control the logging level, use GoogleAnalytics.setLogLevel(Level). The default logging level is Level.SEVERE.
• Invoking the GoogleAnalytics.send() method will perform the network I/O asynchronously by spinning up a new Thread for doing the work.
• For sychronous operation, use GoogleAnalytics.send(false) which will perform the network I/O on the thread it was invoked from.
• All non-required parameters are cleared from the Tracker irregardless of success or failure of the network I/O when GoogleAnalytics.send() is invoked.
• The following hit types are currently supported:
  • pageview
  • screenview
  • event

Usage example:

String trackingId = "UA-12345677-12";
UUID clientId = UUID.randomUUID();
String appName = "My Application"

GoogleAnalytics.Tracker tracker  = GoogleAnalytics.buildTracker(trackingId, clientId, appName);

tracker.type(GoogleAnalytics.HitType.event)
        .category("application")
        .action("startup")
        .build()
        .send();
