Google Analytics Use in Sencha Touch?

[Steve Lewis]

Hi,

Was wondering if anyone has tried to integrate Google Analytics tracking into a Sencha Touch Application? I would like to track things like application signups, etc.

Thanks,

Steve

You might want to elaborate, why can't you just include GA like you would on any other page?

Hi Evan,

Basically would like to incorporate event tracking into each of the different forms and related events, etc (eg: record an event when someone submits signup form). We already include basic tracking into the page which loads the app... but want to do it on a more incremental and fine grained basis (so we can understand exactly how folks are using the app) . Would be nice to have this done as a part of the toolkit( ideally) ... There are some toolkits/opensource projects for doing this for native iphone apps.

Did a bit more research on this... turns out its fairly straightforward to incorporate google analytics via java script API calls to their service. Would be useful if that was done automatically as it requires mirroring API calls (and other events) to record events with google.

For example:

Ext.Ajax.request({
url: CONFIG.api_host + "/api/consumer/signup/",
method: 'POST',
params: params,
success: function(msg) {
Ext.getBody().unmask();
Ext.getCmp('app').initializeAfterLogin();
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/api/consumer/signup/']);
