Manual view recording questions
Platform: Android
Countly SDK release: 22.06.2
Android SDK provides possibility to record view manually via method recordView, link: https://support.count.ly/hc/en-us/articles/360037754031-Android#manual-view-recording
Q1: Is it possible to record past view manually?
Like it is for events https://support.count.ly/hc/en-us/articles/360037754031-Android#past-events
Q2: Is it possible to record multiple views (which are present at the screen at the same time) with actual duration (field"AVG.TIME" on the Countly web)?
Looks like recordView allows track only one view at the same time (please correct me, if I am wrong), let me clarify why - here is example, time line:
|-------- t1 < View 1 is displayed on the screen> t2------------------------------------------------------------------->
|-------------------------t3< View 2 is displayed on the screen> t4---------------------------------------------------->
When view is appearing on the screen (t1 and t3) method recordView is called
"View 1" duration will be t3-t1 instead of desired t2-t1
Background: Internally SDK keeps last recorded view and calculated duration of this last call when new view recording happens, ref to code : https://github.com/Countly/countly-sdk-android/blob/master/sdk/src/main/java/ly/count/android/sdk/ModuleViews.java#L89
In another words, is it possible somehow to have duration equals t2-t1 for "View 1" for above scenario?

Hello Oleksii,
For Q2, we do not have that feature currently. However, we have plans to add that in the future.
And for Q1, unfortunately, it is not possible either. As we have plans for Q2, Q1 is not in our plans.
Best,
Hello Olcay,
Thank you very much for clarification.
