同时使用Google Analytics和Google Firebase

Question

I have recently implemented Firebase Analytics to an Android application. Before that I was using Google Analytics and everything was working correctly. Since I implemented Firebase Analytics, I am not receiving any data in Google Analytics - I only get data in Firebase Analytics. I have left the code for GA and added also calls for FA but only FA works. Does anyone know what the problem is?

I have read that you can do this with Google Tag manager but it looks like a lot of work and is something I would not like to do at the moment. Can I send data to both Firebase and Google Analytics without using the tag manager?

Note that I am using the Json file from Firebase and passing the UA-* property for GA in the initialization of the tracker object.

Answer 1

if you want to use both FA and GA analytics together, there are 3 simple actions to do:

1. delete your global_tracker.xml (or analytics.xml, whatever xml where you did store your tracking code UA-xxxxxx);
2. in your GoogleAnalyticsApplication.class add private string with your tracking code: private static final String PROPERTY_ID = "UA-xxxxxx-x"; and pass this string as parameter to mTracker object creation like this: mTracker = analytics.newTracker(PROPERTY_ID); .

3. update analytics_service parameter in your google-services.json this way:

   "analytics_service": { "status": 1 },

that's all. after this you will have both GA and FA analytics work together correctly.
