Tracker
Provides support for sending hits to Google Analytics using convenient named methods like sendAppView and sendEvent or the general purpose send method.

Clients can set session values using set. These values, once set, are included in all subsequent hits.

For analytics hittypes that are not supported by a named method clients can call send with param/value Object describing the hit. Obtain a instance using the analytics.Service#getTracker.
