I am using the analytics.js to track the user activity using the code in web app.

Now Phonegap app ios/android is built and want to track the user activity in Phonegap app also, but it is not giving the tracking results I have read and implemented the solutions as in

Phonegap google analytics not tracking at all

My Problem is: both in native using phonegap and web app uses same set of pages , I would like to track the same pages both under single GA account using Dimension, but I am not able to do in phone gap.

Could anyone help me on this. Thanks in advance for any help.

(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
          (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
          m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
          })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics/analytics.js','ga');
          var ua="UA-XXXXXXX-Y";
          ga('create', ua, {'storage': 'none','clientId': "123"});
          ga('set', 'checkProtocolTask', null);
          ga('set','checkStorageTask',null);

• 2 Have you whitelisten the Google url? – Joerg Commented Dec 23, 2015 at 16:21
• 1 This plugin (github./danwilson/google-analytics-plugin) is specific for running GA in cordova mobile apps, maybe helps you. – jcarrera Commented Dec 23, 2015 at 23:19
• @jcarrera: it is using the mobile app property in my analytics account...i want to track under same property as web app since in app and web pages are same. I am differentiating the users from app using dimension. – Mohamed Hussain Commented Dec 24, 2015 at 6:58
• @Joerg: which url to whitelist and where it place? – Mohamed Hussain Commented Dec 24, 2015 at 6:59
• Sometimes docs are helping: cordova.apache/docs/en/dev/guide/appdev/whitelist/… read also the docs from the whitelist-plugin. – Joerg Commented Dec 24, 2015 at 7:23

After Two days, Found solution from the Google Group Phonegap page , This answer worked for me. thanks Mayor, his answer is

(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
	(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
	m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics./analytics.js','gaU');
gaU('create','UA-XXXXXXXX-X',{'storage':'none','clientId':device.uuid});
gaU('set','checkProtocolTask',null);
gaU('set','anonymizeIp',true);
gaU('set','forceSSL',true);
gaU('send','pageview',{'title':'I heart Cordova','page':'/cordova'});
gaU('send','event',{'eventCategory':'My_Category','eventAction':'My_Action','eventLabel':'Event_Label','eventValue':11});

notes:

• you must set the url for google-analytics. to use http or https (the default has // which tries to load file:// which does not work)

• use must turn off 'storage' and add a clientId which you can use the Cordova device.uuid

• you must disable protocol checking (because file:// does not work) by setting checkProtocolTask to null

• this only works with the new "Universal" analytics. your GA account must be created as "Website" rather than "Mobile App"

As far as I can tell, this has been explicitly disallowed in the more recent versions of Google Analytics. They say clearly in their docs now:

Use Analytics in a WebView on Android

Calls to log events or set user properties fired from within a WebView must be forwarded to native code before they can be sent to app reports in Google Analytics.
