Some gotchas: 1- Data isn't guaranteed to show up in Analytics until 24 hours after the data is submitted to analytics. It usually shows up earlier, but you should give it 24 hours (Notice I didn't say a day- Testing at 11:59 PM and checking for data at 12:01 AM won't get you anywhere :P ).
2- There are both automatic and manual dispatch modes- Just because trackPageView is called on your device doesn't mean anything is sent to the Analytics servers, until a dispatch occurrs. Combined with gotcha #1, this can make the delay between an event occuring and viewing the data pretty volatile unless you're firing dispatches at a reasonable rate. The timed dispatch mode takes SECONDS as a parameter, not milliseconds (I'm just firing off mistakes I made when learning the library, feel free to roll your eyes here)- 3- Make sure you have the necessary permissions in your AndroidManifest- android.permission.INTERNET and android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE 4- What changed between the app version that was sending data and not sending data? Just a different emulator being tested on? Was there a different version of the software? Is Logcat producing any crashes? -Alex On Fri, Jan 21, 2011 at 11:53 AM, David Liebman <[email protected]>wrote: > HI, > > so I started up the emulator and the debugger.
