Tracking User Activity

App42 Analytics enables App developers to analyze user behavior and take informed business decision on top of that. App42 Analytics feature is equipped with the Event API using which one can do the following analysis:

Which view/page is being viewed more in the App

How much time a user is spending on different App views

Which view/page a user has not seen yet

Which button is being clicked maximum/minimum number of times to track Call To Action (CTA)

How is a user navigating between different App views

Tracking App User’s UI Views

One can track how much time a particular user has spent on a specific view/UI using the Event APIs. One has to call setEvent method on log service at the time of opening/resuming and closing/pausing of every UI/view. On opening of the UI, one has to pass “Landed” event value and on closing, “Escaped” event value along with name of the UI/view as shown in the code snippet below.

Analyzing User Activity From AppHQ Console

All logged activity by above explained methods would be available in your AppHQ Console Dashboard. One can analyze user activity from there and the report can be seen under User Activity tab. This report tells about each activity performed by individual users and tells how much time he is spending on each UI/view. This tab shows two views for the same, one is a pie chart and the other is a grid view as shown below.

Grid View

Grid view contains following information of user behavior

Device Id – Unique Device/Installation Id

User Name – Logged In User Name

Activity/UI/View Name – Activity/View/UI name on which user is looking at

SDK Name – Name of SDK from which user activity has been performed. Valid values are Android/iOS/WP/J2ME etc.

Time Spent in Seconds – Time spent by user on that Activity/UI/View

Start Time – Time at which the view was started/opened by user

End Time – Time when view was closed/user navigated to another activity

Pie Chart View

This view contains Pie chart share of each Activity/UI/View based on its opening event. This view tells which Activity/View/UI is seen more in your App and which activity is not doing good or being seen less.
