Google Analytics
This module’s goal is to ease the integration of Google Interactive Media Ads and the Akamai AMP Player for iOS. With just a few steps we can achieve this integration, let’s see how.
Installation
Just import the AmpGoogleAnalytics.framework in your project. For more information check out the AmpCore’s documentation.
Note: Make sure to add the frameworks as Embedded Binaries or you’ll get an error about a missing image.
How to Use
Let’s first import the required frameworks:
import AmpCore
import AmpGoogleAnalytics
Then, let’s add the related variables in our UIViewController:
var ampPlayer:AmpPlayer!
var ampGA:AmpGoogleAnalytics!
Instantiating Google Analytics is a bit different because their SDK works with a static reference, we provide a helper to facilitate it’s configuration.
And it’s time to instantiate them now, in your viewDidLoad function:
// Instantiate player
self.ampPlayer = AmpPlayer(parentView: self.view)
// Register yourself as an observer if required
self.ampPlayer.registerObserver(self)
self.ampPlayer.setLicense(license)
self.ampPlayer.play(url: YOUR_VIDEO_URL)
// Get a reference of the static Google Analytics SDK
self.ampGA = AmpGoogleAnalytics.sharedInstance
// Attach an instance of AmpPlayer to the Google Analytics SDK
self.ampGA.attach(self.ampPlayer!)
And that’s basically it, with just those few steps, you have a working integration between AMP and Google Analytics.
