CONTEXT
Leroy Merlin 2014 -2019
just a small tagging plan...
- Hard to test events
- Analytics code can't be isolated
- No value for users
- Introduce bugs
- Boring !
Rescue tools ?
The idea
Tagging plan with Robolytics
-
Setup the sdk
-
Tag everything during build
-
Publish your app
-
Work live on the tagging plan in a Console
-
Send the finished tag to your favorite analytics provider

Tag automation
The needs
Intercept methods:
- App lifecycle
- UI events
- Custom methods with annotation
Extract data:
- Class and method name
- Method parameters
- Field values
- Custom models
Annotation processing / Spoon / AspectJ / Javassist
Proguard / R8
Gradle
Annotation processing
+ Easy to implement
+ Fast
- Don't modify source code
Spoon
+ Rewrite source code
- Require source code
- Not popular
AspectJ
+ Easy to intercept method
+ Bytecode rewrite
- AspectJ Runtime library
- Hard to change properties and class type
Javassist
+ Bitecode rewrite
+ No runtime
+ Easy to setup
Javassist + Android Plugin
android.registerTransform(new RobolyticsTransform())
class RobolyticsTransform extends com.android.build.api.transform.Transform {
//...
classPool = new ClassPool(ClassPool.getDefault())
//...
void process(TransformInvocation transformInvocation) {
TransformOutputProvider outputProvider = transformInvocation.getOutputProvider();
// Gather a full list of all inputs.
List<JarInput> jarInputs = Lists.newArrayList();
List<DirectoryInput> directoryInputs = Lists.newArrayList();
//...
method swizzling
class DataViewController: UIViewController, RobolyticsData{
func extractData() -> [String : String] {
return ["data" : dataObject]
}Extract Data
Cross-platform
{JSON}

Events
= Analytics events

Java
Let's transpile !
Kotlin multiplatform
