What is the use of ga_autoActivityTracking?

Question

I don't understand the use and the difference which ga_autoActivityTracking makes.Even when I set it "true", I need to call sendScreenName() and then send(). So what is it doing automatically?

Answer 1

It is used for tracking your activity:

<!-- Enable automatic Activity measurement -->
<bool name="ga_autoActivityTracking">true</bool>

if it is true in analytics.xml, it will track all the activities, if we will do the following for each of our acitivity:

@Override
protected void onStart()
{
    super.onStart();
    EasyTracker.getInstance(context).activityStart(activity);
}

@Override
protected void onStop()
{
    super.onStop();
    EasyTracker.getInstance(context).activityStop(activity);
}

this will give results as below in the dashboard of your app in analytics portal:
