Google Analytics custom event tracking on android apps

Question

I'm trying to get info about specific button clicks inside my app. What I've done so far (using one of the guides I've found on the web) is :

Tracker tracker = GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this).getTracker(ID);

HashMap<String, String> hitParameters = new HashMap<String, String>();
hitParameters.put(Fields.EVENT_CATEGORY, "UI Action");
hitParameters.put(Fields.EVENT_ACTION, "Button Pressed");
hitParameters.put(Fields.EVENT_LABEL, "play");

tracker.send(hitParameters);

I'm not getting any reaction to this code at the google analytic website. Is there something wrong with the code?

Notice: * The real time analytics and overview is working great in general, except those events.

Answer 1

I\ve done this the following way (using easytracker & v3 version of analytics):

EasyTracker easyTracker = EasyTracker.getInstance(this);
easyTracker.send(MapBuilder
    .createEvent(
        "UI Action", // Event category (required)
        "Button Pressed", // Event action (required)
        "play", // Event label
         null) // Event value
    .build()
 );

Other than that, please note that events can take a while to show up on the analytics page in my experience.
