How can I track my android app users detailed statistics?

Question

UsageStatsManager seems to provide general statistics for all apps on your device, however, I am interested in tracking my own apps user detailed statistics. For instance, how many seconds does a certain activity stay opened? how many times is it opened? how many times a button is clicked?

Google provides a nice way to report on your app statistics & reports here but this not what I am looking for!

What I am looking for is either an app that plugs in to my intents (which I doubt is viable) OR another class/package that provides this functionality given that I plug it in my code (more like a usage calculator that attaches to my intent)

Integrate google analytics. So easy:

Add this code to MyApplication class (Consts is my private class where is defined property id):

import com.google.android.gms.analytics.GoogleAnalytics;
import com.google.android.gms.analytics.Tracker;

   public class MyApplication extends Application {     
        private static Context context; 
        public enum TrackerName {
          APP_TRACKER, // Tracker used only in this app.
          GLOBAL_TRACKER, // Tracker used by all the apps from a company. eg: roll-up tracking.
          ECOMMERCE_TRACKER, // Tracker used by all ecommerce transactions from a company.
        }

        HashMap<TrackerName, Tracker> mTrackers = new HashMap<TrackerName, Tracker>();

        public synchronized Tracker getTracker(TrackerName trackerId) {
          if (!mTrackers.containsKey(trackerId)) {

            GoogleAnalytics analytics = GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this);
            Tracker t = analytics.newTracker(Consts.ANALYTICS_PROPERTY_ID);
            mTrackers.put(trackerId, t);

          }
          return mTrackers.get(trackerId);
        }

        public void onCreate(){
            super.onCreate();
            MyApplication.context = getApplicationContext();  
        }

        public static Context getAppContext() {
            return MyApplication.context;
        }

    }

And this code add to your fragment file:

import com.google.android.gms.analytics.HitBuilders;
import com.google.android.gms.analytics.Tracker;


Tracker t = ((MyApplication) getActivity().getApplication()).getTracker(TrackerName.APP_TRACKER);       
t.setScreenName("My screen name");
t.send(new HitBuilders.AppViewBuilder().build());
