I would like to know in more detail how to connect Google Analytics to your application and see detailed statistics on downloads, views, etc.?

Is it enough just to link Google Play and Analytics accounts or do I need to add some more parameters to my application's AndroidManifest.xml ?

  • Clarify the question of what exactly from the documentation on embedding analytics you do not understand and we will help you. - JuriySPb ♦
  • I wanted to know that in order to connect analytics to the application, is it necessary to embed the AndroidManifest.xml code of my application? Is it possible to connect analytics without affecting the application code itself, because the application has already been published? - Vyacheslav

No, it is impossible to connect analytics without reassembling (i.e., adding the necessary files / lines and recompiling, receiving apk) project and not uploading the update to the market.

This is due to the fact that the analytics library should work together with the program and send data on its use over the network. And while you do not build it into the program, it will not start.

  • And statistics in the developer console is very different from statistics in analytics? What is included in the statistics statistics in the google play console? - Vyacheslav
  • Should not. But it can be different if the application with analytics is put in the market hunt - YuriySPb ♦
  • And how often statistics in the console and analytics is updated? - Vyacheslav
  • The console is poorly updated. Once a week did not join. In analytics it should work almost in real time - YuriySPb ♦
  • Well, the last question: can you tell us about the Tracking ID and where to apply it? - Vyacheslav
