Overview

The Analytics Service is a component of the BlackBerry® Application Platform that can help you better understand the characteristics of your users and their behavior. By integrating the Analytics Service into your application, you can access a wide range of data that can help your organization make informed business decisions.

  • Identifying your users: To help you identify the audience for your application, you can view data about the BlackBerry device models, BlackBerry® Device Software versions, countries of origin, and languages of your users.
  • Understanding user behavior: To gain a better understanding of how your users use your application, you can view data about the number of unique users, the total number of sessions, and the average length of a session.
  • Tracking specific actions and events: To identify which parts of your application get the most use, you can view data about screen views, button clicks, application errors, and more.

The Analytics Service collects the data, compiles it, and produces reports and metrics on a web portal that you can view. To sign up for the Analytics Service and download the Analytics Service SDK, visit www.blackberry.com/developers/analyticsservice. To view the web portal, visit http://blackberry.webtrends.com.
