# Class AnalyticsService

java.lang.Object
com.codename1.analytics.AnalyticsService

public class AnalyticsService extends Object

The analytics service allows an application to report its usage, it is seamlessly invoked by GUI builder applications if analytics is enabled for your application but can work just as well for handcoded apps!

To enable analytics just use the `java.lang.String)` method of the analytics service. For most typical usage you should also invoke the `#setAppsMode(boolean)` method with `true`. If you are not using the GUI builder invoke the visit method whenever you would like to log a page view event.
