Android Flurry plugin

ar2rsawseen · September 2012

Hello,
here is my first attempt on Android plugins for Gideros.
This is basically an analog of Flurry plugin for IOS using same methods described in Gideros docs.

http://appcodingeasy.com/Gideros-Mobile/Flurry-plugin-for-Android

As this is the first attempt, would like to test it on all possible devices you might have, please leave feedback if something is not working right.

This plugin is also an example of new extended android plugin system and can be used as example for creating other plugins.

If everything works fine, I'll post more detailed tutorial on creating Android plugins

thank you!

hi @ar2rsawseen
bad news, I have changed my network Operator right now, your site can not be accessed any more.

ar2rsawseen · September 2012

@alexzheng I'm really sorry to hear that. Any specific reason why it could be banned/restricted?

Any way I've also shared code on Github: https://github.com/ar2rsawseen/GiderosFlurryAndroid

And if that does not work also, PM me your email I'll send it to you

alexzheng · September 2012

hi @ar2rsawseen
Thanks,I have tried your plugin on my nexus s,it works well.

@ar2rsawseen

I've tried your plugin and it force closes my app on launch.

I've followed your instructions on your blog post.

I'm using Gideros 2012.09.9 and Flurry SDK 3.1.0 (the latest, just downloaded)

I'm attaching my LogCat in hopes that you could look at it and help me to solve this.

Thank you.

ar2rsawseen · April 2013

Hello @hugocosta , I've commited new version of Flurry plugin, could you please try it

https://github.com/ar2rsawseen/GiderosFlurryAndroid

hugocosta · April 2013

Thank you @ar2rsawseen

But i still have the same problem.

First i tried with the new version on github and did not changing anything else, just replaced the files on lib and src folders.

Then, as i saw that the folders structure had changed, I replaced the externalClasses string with: "com.giderosmobile.android.plugins.flurry.FlurryPlugin"

Btw, i deleted the old Flurry.java in src...

ar2rsawseen · April 2013

Hello, I've attached the project set up and tested working just right now, could you please try it?

Most probably by the Log it seems that you have not added the Flurry SDK to your project

hugocosta · April 2013

@ar2rsawseen

I've added it, if i remove it the project will not compile and give errors.
I've tried everything, even adding your projects FlurryAgent.jar to mine.

Still have the same errors.

Your project works fine, so that's something wrong with my project.

Any other ideas?

hugocosta · April 2013

@ar2rsawseen

Using your gideros project, i exported it to Eclipse and added Flurry.
The exact same problem happens.

So, i'm attaching the project. Could you please look at it?
Thank you!

ar2rsawseen · April 2013

@hugocosta when you add Flurry SDK, you also need to click Order and Export tab and check Flurry SDK there

I'll put more specific instruction in installation description

hugocosta · April 2013

@ar2rsawseen

That was it. It's working now. Thank you!

I believe it would be important to add this step to the usage instructions, so that other Android newbies like me don't have to spend hours around this tiny mistake.

ar2rsawseen · April 2013

Oh yes I've added more specific instructions: https://github.com/ar2rsawseen/GiderosFlurryAndroid

SamuelJonson · April 2013

Even I have tried your plugin it works well. But some time I am getting error in between.

achimeno · January 2014

@ar2rsawseen

We have an error with your flurry plugin with Gideros new version 2014.01 at start, is possible than we need the x86 version?

Thank you

ar2rsawseen · January 2014

@achimeno since Flurry included in Gideros distribution, you should use the one provided with Gideros installation inside All Plugins folder (you will also see x86 version there)

achimeno · January 2014

@ar2rsawseen All Plugins/Flurry/bin is empty

atilim · January 2014

@achimeno I realised that they're included with Windows package but not with Mac package. I've attached the binaries.

achimeno · January 2014

Thanks @atilim >:D<

achimeno · January 2014

@atilim
Now the call with parameters crash my app.
flurry.logEvent("myEvent2", {key="value"})

ar2rsawseen · January 2014

on to it

ar2rsawseen · January 2014

Hmm, unfortunately can't reproduce, here is the project I've set up from sources from Gideros installation folder.
And here is a test code I use:
http://appcodingeasy.com/FlurryTest.zip

--require flurry
require("flurry")
 
if(flurry.isAvailable()) then
	--start flurry session with your flurry ID
	flurry.startSession("STF9NBS8JQ4539TM8T3T")
 
	--log simple flurry event
	flurry.logEvent("simpleEvent")
 
	--log flurry event with parameters
	flurry.logEvent("EventWithParameters", {key="val", anotherkey="anotherval"})
 
	--log flurry timed event
	flurry.logEvent("TimedEvent", {key="val"}, true)
 
	Timer.delayedCall(1000, function()
		flurry.endTimedEvent("TimedEvent")
	end)
	local text = TextField.new(nil, "Testing Flurry")
	text:setPosition(100, 100);
	stage:addChild(text)
end

But I remember someone else also having this problem, so I must be missing something

amaximov · February 2014

@ar2rsawseen Using latest Gideros and Flurry plugin from Gideros installation directory getting a crash using flurry.logEvent("somestring", {key = "value"}, false) on Android only. Attached is a log.

Note: flurry.isAvailable() and flurry.startSession(appID) work fine.

amaximov · February 2014

I've set up an Eclipse project to build the including source code for the Flurry plugin and started commenting out parts of the code before building the flurrylib.so and have found the problem to be on line 57 in gflurry-android.cpp -> "jobject parameters2 = parametersToMap(parameters);"

Error: JNI ERROR (app bug): attempt to use stale local reference 0x3af0000d

Will continue investigating and will update here.

Question: It seems like the stale reference error comes up when referencing java objects via static variables. (Excuse any particular mistakes in what I said I'm not a C programmer

)

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14765776/jni-error-app-bug-accessed-stale-local-reference-0xbc00021-index-8-in-a-tabl

However there are no static vars in that file...

UPDATE: Narrowed problem down to a JNI call on line 29 of gflurry-android.cpp

"env->CallObjectMethod(jmapobj, env->GetMethodID(cls, "put", "(Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;)Ljava/lang/Object;"), jKey, jVal);"

- Same error message as i said above. Will try my best for a solution but my JNI knowledge is very limited...

(Android 4.4 on Nexus 5)

amaximov · February 2014

SOLUTION: @ar2rsawseen There was a small problem with a local reference being deleted prematurely. Attached is fixed gflurry-android.cpp with parametersToMap function slightly changed. Should work fine now. I believe this problem occurred on Android 4.0 + devices but I may be wrong.

ar2rsawseen · February 2014

@amaximov yes you are right, the crash only occurs on Android 4.0+
Probably memory management is significantly different (more aggressive).
Unfortunately I don't have such device at my disposal, thus borrowed from a friend, will retest your fix

ar2rsawseen · February 2014

Yes your fix works and here are new binaries:

amaximov · February 2014

Great

SinisterSoft · February 2014

Is this for the latest flurry sdk or the old flurry sdk?

Flurry now looks like an ad platform - should it not be in that instead - with 'extensions' for the extra flurry bits?

ar2rsawseen · February 2014

For the latest.
Well when you download the Flurry SDK it has many folders, for ads, etc. And one of them is Analytics, so I use only that, without any ads.

Additionally you can have restricted version, provided on their site, which again limits flurry sdk even more
