Firebase Analytics SDK Fundamental

Reference https://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics/android/start/

Prerequisites

• Install the Firebase SDK.
• Add your app to your Firebase project in the Firebase console.

• Android Studio 1.5 or later.

  Simple.

Add Analytics to your app

Add the dependency for Firebase Analytics to your app-level build.gradle file:

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:10.0.1'

Declare the com.google.firebase.analytics.FirebaseAnalytics object at the top of your activity

private FirebaseAnalytics mFirebaseAnalytics;

Then initialize it in the onCreate() method

// Obtain the FirebaseAnalytics instance.
mFirebaseAnalytics = FirebaseAnalytics.getInstance(this);

Log events

1. Choosing Event from FirebaseAnalytics.Event
2. Choosing Param from FirebaseAnalytics.Param
3. Send

Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.ITEM_ID, id);
bundle.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.ITEM_NAME, name);
bundle.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.CONTENT_TYPE, "image");
mFirebaseAnalytics.logEvent(FirebaseAnalytics.Event.SELECT_CONTENT, bundle);

Why using FA?

Firebase Analytics collects usage and behavior data for your app. The SDK logs two primary types of information:

• Events: What is happening in your app, such as user actions, system events, or errors.
• User properties: Attributes you define to describe segments of your userbase, such as language preference or geographic location. Analytics automatically logs some events and user properties; you don't need to add any code to enable them.
