I've found a wrapper for IOS Flurry and wrapped it also for Android:

Here are the source files:

Thanks!

I didn't knew about flurry analytics.

www.flurry.com


btw, is it that important to use this kind of services?
I mean, is it really useful for indie developpers?


visionastral(Posted 2012) [#3]
I mean versus google ad service


anawiki(Posted 2012) [#4]
but flurry analytics is something different than ad service... and as every tool, it's useful if you use it.

Hi guys!

@maverick69: Thanks for the very useful flurry code!

I've managed to incorporate it into my monkey application for android. After about six hours some analytics started showing up on Flurry! I set it up to log a non timed event for every touch as well. Unfortunately, it's been 2 days and no event data has showed up on flurry. Any idea what might be wrong?

I've included the code for my simple test. Replace <My Unique Application Key> with your own.

[monkeycode]
Strict

Import mojo
Import flurry

Global Event:Int = 0

Class Game Extends App

Method OnCreate:Int()

SetUpdateRate( 60 )
Return 0
End

Method OnUpdate:Int()
If TouchHit(0)
Event = 1
Flurry.LogEvent( "Touch" )
EndIf
Return 0
End

Method OnRender:Int()
Cls
DrawText("Test!", 0, 0)
If Event = 1
DrawText("Touch Hit!", 0, 15)
Event = 0
EndIf
Return 0
End
End

Function Main:Int()
Flurry.Init( "<My Unique Application Key>" )
New Game()
Return 1
End
[/monkeycode]

I've done some research and testing and with some modifications to maverick69's code I've managed to get events to log successfully on Flurry.

Hope anyone tracking analytics finds this useful!

The main change was adding the Stop function to flurry.monkey. I believe this helps to mark a session as closed . Since flurry submits logged data on the next execution of a session, if a session is not closed explicitly it treats the session as still closed. I think this is the reason that no events were sent.

Here are my files:

main.monkey
[monkeycode]

Strict

Import mojo
Import flurry

Global Event:Int = 0

Class Game Extends App

Method OnCreate:Int()
Flurry.Init( "<My Unique Application Key>" )
SetUpdateRate( 60 )
Return 0
End

Method OnUpdate:Int()
If TouchHit(0)
Event = 1
Flurry.LogEvent( "Touch" )
EndIf
Return 0
End

Method OnRender:Int()
Cls
DrawText("Test!", 0, 0)
If Event = 1
DrawText("Touch Hit!", 0, 15)
Event = 0
EndIf
Return 0
End

Method OnSuspend:Int()
Flurry.Stop()
Return 0
End
End

Function Main:Int()
New Game()
Return 1
End

[/monkeycode]

c.k.(Posted 2012) [#7]
flurry is getting ads. Will this monkey flurry module have that functionality?


maverick69(Posted 2012) [#8]
No.


@Rus:

Moving
Flurry.Init( "<My Unique Application Key>" )

from Main
to
OnCreate

should fix it. But I like your changes. Would you mind if I put them into my module directly?


Rus(Posted 2012) [#9]
@maverick69

Sure thing! I'm looking at ways to get the event parameters working. I've been looking at your code as a basis for this. I think I've got it working in Android. I'm still trying to work out how to do it in iOS. Have you had any luck with this?

I might be looking at developing an alternative to your Flurry module, with support for ads. I'll probably be doing it for myself first, but may release it for public consumption if it works out.
