App Analytics is a critical feature to gauge application performance and usage across devices, locations and customers. Understanding application activity has now been made easier with Analytics Report option for third-party app integration offered by 42Gears UEM – SureMDM. 42Gears UEM offers app analytics and device data usage analytics at one place, negating the need for enterprises to opt for multiple app analytics tools to analyse data on their app usage.
Steps To Be Implemented on the App Side
In order to integrate third party app with SureMDM Analytics, values to be analysed will have to be added on a CSV file (example – batteryinfo.csv) under specific headers. Information to be analysed from the app is to be sent to SureMDM Nix by sending broadcast on action “com.gears42.nix.analytics”. An example is given below:
| Intent analyticsExportToNixIntent = new Intent();
analyticsExportToNixIntent.setAction(“com.gears42.nix.analytics”); analyticsExportToNixIntent.putExtra(“path”, Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+”/batteryinfo.csv”); analyticsExportToNixIntent.putExtra(“secret_key”, “219fd050”); analyticsExportToNixIntent.putExtra(“package_name”, context.getApplicationInfo().packageName); context.sendBroadcast(analyticsExportToNixIntent); |
*path = path of CSV file
*secret key = to be derived from SureMDM console
*package name = third party application package name
Steps To Be Implemented on SureMDM Side
