Discover the steps to seamlessly add Firebase Analytics to your Flutter app. Track user activity, improve their experience, and gain key insights effortlessly.
Watching what users do in a Flutter app using Firebase Analytics takes a few important steps. First, get Firebase ready for your Flutter project, including dependencies and all the necessary configs. Then, add the Firebase Analytics package from pub.dev to your app. After that's done, start logging events to track different user actions. You can define custom events to monitor specific activities beyond the usual ones. Grasping these steps will let you gather valuable insights about users, aiding in tailoring the app to meet their needs and wants effectively.
pubspec.yaml
file in your Flutter project.flutter pub get
to install the packages.google-services.json
file from the Firebase Console and drop it in the android/app
directory.android/build.gradle
and add:android/app/build.gradle
and add:Download the GoogleService-Info.plist
file from the Firebase Console and place it in the ios/Runner
directory.
Open ios/Runner/Info.plist
and add:
```xml
Make sure to enable the Firebase SDK in the ios/Runner/AppDelegate.swift
:
```swift
import Firebase
@UIApplicationMain
@objc class AppDelegate: FlutterAppDelegate {
override func application(
_ application: UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
) -> Bool {
FirebaseApp.configure()
return super.application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
}
}
```
main.dart
file.main
function:Create a Firebase Analytics instance in the MyApp
class:
```dart
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
static FirebaseAnalytics analytics = FirebaseAnalytics();
static FirebaseAnalyticsObserver observer = FirebaseAnalyticsObserver(analytics: analytics);
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
navigatorObservers: [observer],
// other properties
);
}
}
```
Log custom events to track user behavior:
```dart
void _sendAnalyticsEvent() {
analytics.logEvent(
name: 'test_event',
parameters: <String, dynamic>{
'string': 'string',
'int': 123,
'long': 12345678910,
'double': 123.45,
'bool': true,
},
);
}
```
Call _sendAnalyticsEvent
method at appropriate places in the app to log events:
```dart
RaisedButton(
onPressed: _sendAnalyticsEvent,
child: Text('Send Test Event'),
);
```
