Android: Using Flurry to gather information

Flurry is a mobile app analytics service for many platforms including iOS and Android.

It is very easy to use. Just register an account, then create a new app. It will generate an app id for your new app, then you can download its SDK.

For Android, you just need to add an external Jar to your Eclipse project, then add severa lines of code to init and end Flurry sessions.  You can then log events in your app.

Some usages:

1. log screen size and dpi, so that you will know distribution of screen sizes, and prioritize your layout effort
2. log time spent in time-consuming procedures, to prioritize optimization effort
3. log frame rate for OpenGL ES, so that you may exclude some slow device from your app
4. log supported OpenGL ES version. If OpenGL ES 2.0 is supported by 90% devices, you may start working on it
5. log pages viewed, to rank the pages
