I am looking for a good solution to do mobile analytics for Jquery mobile . I did check this question
Flurry Analytics vs Google Analytics on the mobile platform
but these are all solutions for a platform specific/ phone manufacturer specific but jquery mobile works on all platforms irrespective of the manufacturer or operating system. Essentially i am looking for a analytics solution for webapps.
Additional Info:-
bango seems expensive at $49/month. Admob wont work since we dont need it for advertising and not for placing ads.
I'm using the following:
<script>
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxx-xx']);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
$('[data-role=page]').live('pageshow', function (event, ui) {
try {
hash = location.hash;
if (hash && hash.length > 1) {
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', hash.substr(1)]);
} else {
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
}
} catch(err) {
}
});
</script>
The 'pageshow' event fires even for the first page, so don't think you want to include the _trackPageview with the GA setup. Also, location.hash will return url with the "#" character so hash.subtr(1) cleans that off which will normalize hash/pushstate visitors.
Update 11/30/11: Added check for hash length for ie bug (from: Paulo Manuel Santos).
I use the following bits of code for Google Analytics and it works well:
The following is pretty much the normal Google Analytics setup:
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', '**-*****-**']);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
The update for jQuery Mobile is here so that each pseudo-page is logged:
$(document).delegate('[data-role=page]', 'pageshow', function (event, ui) {
var url = location.href;
try {
if (location.hash) {
url = location.hash;
}
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', url]);
}
catch(error) {
// error catch
}
});
