Hi all, I'm currently working on a demo project and I'm about to try it out with some users. I'd like to automatically record the way they use the application, their navigation route, times spent in each section and duration using the application in general etc. I was wondering if there are any solutions for this already available and if not how would you go about achieving such a goal?
My initial thought is that I could augment all of my UI click listeners with a call to a custom logger class which could write the time and the element, opening the file for writing in onStart, onResume and closing it in onStop for the activity. This doesn't need to be bullet proof, I'm just gathering data to improve the UI. That being said, I'm sure developing a unified solution would help a lot of people learn more about how their users interact with their apps and I'm happy to do the leg work I was just hoping for some advice regarding the approach to use. I found this in the google internal code; UsageStatsService<http://www.google.co.in/codesearch/p?hl=en#uX1GffpyOZk/services/java/com/android/server/am/UsageStatsService.java&q=android%20package:git://android.git.kernel.org%20UsageStats&l=17> Which is slightly different to what I need but made me think that perhaps a background service would be the best option, it could presumably then be turned on and off and therefore not be used in the deployed version. This would remove the issue of overhead. I'm just thinking out loud, feel free to do the same :) Gav --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
