How to Add Firebase Analytics to Android App in Android Studio?

Firebase Analytics is a powerful tool for understanding your app's usage and user engagement. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to integrate Firebase Analytics into your Android app using Android Studio:

  1. Set up a Firebase project:

    • Go to the Firebase Console.
    • Click on "Add Project" and follow the prompts to create a new Firebase project.

  2. Add your Android app to the Firebase project:

    • In the Firebase console, click on the Android icon to add an Android app to your project.
    • Enter your app's package name.
    • Download the google-services.json file when prompted and place it in your app's root directory (app/).

  3. Add Firebase SDK to your app:

    • In your root-level build.gradle file, make sure you have Google's Maven repository:

      buildscript { repositories { // ... google() // This should be already added for most Android Studio projects. } // ... }

    • Add the classpath for the Google services plugin:

      buildscript { dependencies { // ... classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.8' // Check for the latest version } }

    • In your app-level build.gradle file, apply the plugin at the bottom of the file:

      apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

    • Add the Firebase Analytics dependency:

      dependencies { // ... implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:19.0.1' // Check for the latest version }

  4. Initialize Firebase in your app:

    Typically, Firebase initializes itself automatically in your app. However, if you ever need to initialize it manually, you can do so by adding the following code in your Application class:

    import com.google.firebase.FirebaseApp; public class YourApplicationClass extends Application { @Override public void onCreate() { super.onCreate(); FirebaseApp.initializeApp(this); } }

  5. Use Firebase Analytics:

    To log events, you can get an instance of FirebaseAnalytics and use its methods:

    import com.google.firebase.analytics.FirebaseAnalytics; // ... FirebaseAnalytics mFirebaseAnalytics = FirebaseAnalytics.getInstance(this); // To log an event Bundle params = new Bundle(); params.putString("item_name", "example_item_name"); mFirebaseAnalytics.logEvent("event_name", params);

  6. Run your app:

    After making these changes, run your app. Firebase will automatically start collecting data, and you should see user engagement metrics and any logged events in the Firebase console after a few hours.

Examples

  1. Integrating Firebase Analytics in Android Studio:

    • Description: Integrate Firebase Analytics into your Android Studio project to track user interactions and events.

    • Code:

      // Add the Firebase Analytics dependency in your app-level build.gradle file implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:20.0.2' 
      // Initialize Firebase Analytics in your Application class or MainActivity FirebaseApp.initializeApp(this);

  2. Logging events and user properties with Firebase Analytics:

    • Description: Log custom events and user properties to capture meaningful data for analysis.
    • Code:
      // Log a custom event Bundle params = new Bundle(); params.putString("category", "button_click"); params.putString("label", "login_button"); firebaseAnalytics.logEvent("button_click", params); // Set user properties firebaseAnalytics.setUserProperty("preferred_language", "en");

  3. Implementing conversion tracking with Firebase Analytics:

    • Description: Track conversions or specific user actions that contribute to your app's goals or success.
    • Code:
      // Log conversion event firebaseAnalytics.logEvent(FirebaseAnalytics.Event.ECOMMERCE_PURCHASE, params);

  4. Handling screen views and navigation events in Firebase Analytics:

    • Description: Log screen views and navigation events to understand how users navigate through your app.
    • Code:
      // Log screen view event Bundle screenParams = new Bundle(); screenParams.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.SCREEN_NAME, "MainActivity"); screenParams.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.SCREEN_CLASS, "MainActivity"); firebaseAnalytics.logEvent(FirebaseAnalytics.Event.SCREEN_VIEW, screenParams);
