How do I integrate Google Analytics into GWT applications?

I have two problems...1. I have never used google analytics, and 2. I have never used, made, or touched a GWT project until now. I am trying to get google analytics to work with a GWT application. I read through this: How to integrate Google Analytics into GWT using the asynchronous script and the question that it links to with no luck.

There is a new version of Google Analytics out which uses a new analytics.js script. It's the same process though, just add the script in your html header:

<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

ga('create', 'UA-YOUR_ACCOUNT-X', 'auto');
ga('send', 'pageview'); </script>

For my case, the project is large and I am not sure which html file I need to put the google analyics js in. I am assuming the html files in the war folder.

As for this bit:

call the new methods like so:

public static native void googleAnalyticsTrackPageView(String url)/*-{
$wnd.ga('send', 'pageview', url); }-*/;

I am totally unsure where I need to include this.

Oh, one last question. Is this still how I would test locally?

ga('create', 'UA-XXXX-Y', {'cookieDomain': 'none'});

In your war folder there should be an index.html or index.jsp file that serves the GWT JS file (xxx-nocache.js). You need to put the script there.

Alternatively you can also use Arcbee's universal-analytics library.
