Implement Air Analytics into my application.

So Air Analytics is on the way soon, and you find your self wondering how will I be able to implement the tracking into my application.

Well my friend you are reading the right post. Let me take some time out of the dev schedule to tell you how easy it is to implement Air Analytics tracking in your app. In a future post I will tell you what stats and info you can expect to see.

Over the past 4 months we have been going out of our way to build an application analytics solution that is user/developer friendly as possible while still keeping the app streamline and the tracking unobtrusive to the user. We understand that AIR applications can take many forms, functions, shape and sizes, so have we set about developing a system that is totally flexible and can mould to your application not the other way round.

Implementation
To start the tracking you only need import the class to add the following line of code:
AirAnalytics.start(“api_key”, “app_ID”);

and Air Analytics is ready to roll.

Now to track an item, pageview or click all you do is call:
AirAnalytics.track(“Action”, “Type”);
Action = the item that was tracked eg “page/home” or “mainNav/homeBtn” this can be anything that you wish to define.

Type = the type of action it is E.G if it is a page view use the type “page” or you can even create you own type and add it to the system all in the control panel.
For example if you have a twitter app why not add a type “tweet” and every time and successful tweet is sent tack it. This way you will be able to see how may tweets you app is sending.

We have started you off with 4 common types that we think people will generally use in every application they are

• “page” for page view
• “click” for any button click you want to track
• “url” for those links to external URLs
• “error” Yes… for those unwanted errors… now you can see how many and when the appear

Don’t worry about loosing any tracks while the app is running offline. Air Analytics manages the tracking offline as well making it a complete tracking solution for you application.

Like we mentioned before we will be going into a private beta so if you are interested please drop us a line or leave a comment here somewhere with your details.

Thanks Paul
