Custom screen and application variables
Foreword
Custom application variables allow you to associate information with a user’s activity while s/he is using your application.
Custom screen variables focus on a view in particular, and allow you, notably, to tag the fields of an entry form.
Get off to a good start
Once your tag is initialised, you can add your custom variables to your screen hit.
If you want to use variables, be sure to import ATInternet, Tracker, Screen and CustomVar classes in your Activity.
Tagging
The Screen object makes available a CustomVars-type object that exposes an add method. This method accepts three parameters:
- varId: index of the indicator
- value: value of the indicator, character string in the format:
- text: [lorem]
- decimal: “,” or “.” separator, two characters maximum after the separator
- date: yyyymmdd
- country: ISO
- duration: integer
- type: type of indicator
Tagging example
- Site indicator, with a date value
package com.atinternet.atinternetdemo; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import com.atinternet.tracker.ATInternet; import com.atinternet.tracker.CustomVar; import com.atinternet.tracker.Tracker; public class MainActivity extends Activity { private Tracker tracker; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); tracker = ATInternet.getInstance().getDefaultTracker(); } @Override protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); Screen s = tracker.Screens().add("My Screen with Custom Var"); s.CustomVars().add(1, "2014224", CustomVar.CustomVarType.App); s.sendView(); } }
- Screen indicator, with a text value
package com.atinternet.atinternetdemo; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import com.atinternet.tracker.ATInternet; import com.atinternet.tracker.CustomVar; import com.atinternet.tracker.Tracker; public class MainActivity extends Activity { private Tracker tracker; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); tracker = ATInternet.getInstance().getDefaultTracker(); } @Override protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); Screen s = tracker.Screens().add("My Screen with Custom Var"); s.CustomVars().add(1, "[object]", CustomVar.CustomVarType.Screen); s.sendView(); } }
