Using Google Analytics SDK for Android v3

Question

I have used Google Analytics v2 earlier and could send app name , app version and set anbonimize Ip using the below code:

        m_GaTracker.setAnonymizeIp(true);
        m_GaTracker.setAppName("MyRemote");
        m_GaTracker.setAppVersion(m_appVersion);

where m_GaTracker is an instance of Google Analytics Tracker.

I am now migrating to V3 but this code does not work any more .I get this error:

The method setAnonymizeIp(boolean) is undefined for the type Tracker

How to solve this issue or is there any other way I can send these values using Google Analytics v3?

Already checked this but its of no use!!

Answer 1

I believe now you need to use the set method.

Tracker tracker = GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this).getTracker("UA-XXXX-Y");

// Values set directly on a tracker apply to all subsequent hits.
tracker.set(Fields.ANONYMIZE_IP, true);

There is a field reference at https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/field-reference. (It's written for analytics.js, which the v3 analytics are meant to align with.)

You can also see the list of Fields strings by decompiling the libGoogleAnalyticsServices.jar:

The android documentation for analytics could be much better.
