Android Firebase Analytics: predefined and custom parameters not working

Question

I have application which use Firebase SDK and used some predefined event and parameters but some parameters are automatically added but not all parameters

For example Add to cart event

Android :

bundle.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.ITEM_CATEGORY, params.get("item_category").toString());
bundle.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.ITEM_NAME, params.get("item_name").toString());
bundle.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.ITEM_LOCATION_ID, params.get("item_location_id").toString());
bundle.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.CURRENCY, params.get("currency").toString());
bundle.putDouble(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.VALUE, ((Number) params.get("value")).doubleValue());
bundle.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.COUPON, params.get("coupon").toString());
bundle.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.ITEM_ID, params.get("item_id").toString());
bundle.putLong(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.QUANTITY, ((Number) params.get("quantity")).longValue());
this.firebaseAnalytics.logEvent(FirebaseAnalytics.Event.ADD_TO_CART, bundle);

IOS

[FIRAnalytics logEventWithName:kFIREventAddToCart parameters:@{
    kFIRParameterItemCategory:[parameters valueForKey:@"item_category"],
    kFIRParameterItemName:[parameters valueForKey:@"item_name"],
    kFIRParameterItemLocationID:[parameters valueForKey:@"item_location_id"],
    kFIRParameterCurrency:[parameters valueForKey:@"currency"],
    kFIRParameterValue:[parameters valueForKey:@"value"],
    kFIRParameterCoupon:[parameters valueForKey:@"coupon"],
    kFIRParameterItemID:[parameters valueForKey:@"item_id"],
    kFIRParameterQuantity:[parameters valueForKey:@"quantity"]
}];

In dashboard, We can see only item_name and value. please help.... thanks in advance

I'm supposing that your params object is a composed array with the similar values

{
    "item_category" : "t-shirts",
    "item_name" : "abc",
    "item_location_id" : "ChIJiyj437sx3YAR9kUWC8QkLzQ",
    "currency" : "USD",
    "value" : 3.99,
    "coupon" : "zz123",
    "item_id" : "p7654",
    "quantity" : 1
}

If that is the case then you are in the right way to create the event. But you are trying to see the event values in the Parameter Reporting section in the Firebase Console. I analysed based on the image you attached.

If you want to see the event values I recommend check the event dashboard report by clicking on the event name instead of the tab Parameter Reporting, follow this link, it shows you an example of how Firebase Events are organized in the Dashboard Console.

I hope this helps you.

MArtin Daniel - just checked the predefined parameters are attached to event or not. in above scenario, item_name and value are automatically attached(refer screen shot) but not other parameter. – Venka Tesh user5397700 Aug 29 '19 at 05:45
I think they are not showing because you are creating a report of a predefined event for [add_to_cart](https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/android/com/google/firebase/analytics/FirebaseAnalytics.Event.html#public-static-final-string-add_to_cart) instead of viewing the event dashboard report. Check this [video](https://youtu.be/q4G2JJ_c5mQ) reference for google analytics for Firebase, they explain what you are trying to do in minute 3:00 approximately – Aug 29 '19 at 15:41
Marthin Daniel - by default predefined parameter value should be show in event dashboard right – Venka Tesh user5397700 Aug 29 '19 at 18:48
Yes it should, but when you say _default parameter value_ you refer to the value of that parameter (eg. `3.99`) or the predefined event `FirebaseAnalytics.Param.VALUE`? – Aug 29 '19 at 20:51
Yes Martin. I used like you mentioned. in parameter reporting section it is showing item_name and value for add_to_cart. not showing other parameter. i don't know the reason. – Venka Tesh user5397700 Aug 30 '19 at 10:14
