PlaceHistoryHandler and Analytics

[Jake Wharton]

I'm trying to implement analytics tracking in our Place-based GWT 2.2 webapp and finding some trouble listening to History's ValueChangeEvent. The events seem to not be firing as a result of the false argument on this line.

I have tried adding the listener both to the History class directly and in a PlaceHistoryHandler.History implementation but neither seem to be receiving callbacks. Using the PlaceChangeEvent is also unsatisfactory because it is fired before the token is updated.

Is there another method I should be using track history to fire analytics tracking?

How about providing your own Historian (extending DefaultHistorian) to PlaceHistoryHandler and track changes in the Historian's newItem method (after delegating to super.newItem so that the token is updated)?

That indeed did work. Thank you.
