iphone - GAITrackedViewController and UITableViewController

Question

With Google Analytics for iOS v2 Google suggests subclassing their GAITrackedViewController class in place of UIViewController. What do we do in the case of UITableViewController?

source

#import "GAITrackedViewController.h"

@interface AboutViewController : GAITrackedViewController

Answer 1

Manual Screen Tracking

Remember that extending GAITrackedViewController is only one way to track screen views. The manual way is just as easy.

SDK v2

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
    
    // returns the same tracker you created in your app delegate
    // defaultTracker originally declared in AppDelegate.m
    id<GAITracker> tracker = [[GAI sharedInstance] defaultTracker];

    // manual screen tracking
    [tracker sendView:@"Home Screen"];
}

SDK v3

#import "GAI.h"
#import "GAIFields.h"
#import "GAIDictionaryBuilder.h"

...

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
    
    // returns the same tracker you created in your app delegate
    // defaultTracker originally declared in AppDelegate.m
    id tracker = [[GAI sharedInstance] defaultTracker];

    // This screen name value will remain set on the tracker and sent with
    // hits until it is set to a new value or to nil.
    [tracker set:kGAIScreenName
           value:@"Home Screen"];

    // manual screen tracking
    [tracker send:[[GAIDictionaryBuilder createScreenView] build]];
}
