İmplementing metrics to Android app for the first time

[cihanb3353776]

I started implementation to Andorid App.We set up the Lifecyle Metrics and we are getting the default values.

To implement the metrics we want like (orderId,login,registration,etc)What is the best practice?

It is suggested that use the context data instead of eVars and props: I have read all the manuals about configuration Variables,Tracking variables,Methods,processing rules but I don't know where to start.

For example to get login info or order info (metrics) I need to know how to do it.

Best Regards

To ask more specific question;

To add custom metrics do I have to first implement context data then assign them to processing rules.

I need to see pageviews, orders , registration,userId as a report in sitecatalyst.

Implementation guide for android doesn't give much info and there is no video tutorial for starters.

Using context data is easy for the developer, but there is a limit of 50 processing rules. So you must make sure that you do not exceed this limit.

Here are some documentation URLs for android app

This URL explains how to implement context data on Android app: http://microsite.omniture.com/t2/help/en_US/sc/appmeasurement/android/index.html#Context_Data

This URL explains how to set custom variables in Android App: http://microsite.omniture.com/t2/help/en_US/sc/appmeasurement/android/index.html#Tracking_Variables

Hope this helps!
