'FirebaseAnalytics.Param.SIGN_UP_METHOD' is failing to save the 'value' along with 'Event name` in the console

Question

I'm using this code to analyse the sign_up method user is using:

Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.SIGN_UP_METHOD, "sign_up_method");
mFirebaseAnalytics.logEvent(FirebaseAnalytics.Event.SIGN_UP, bundle);

as soon as the user sign up, above given code is supposed to save the event in the Firebase console.

The problem is that the event is getting created but the there's nothing under the value column, i.e., sign_up_method is not getting shown.

Here's a snapshot from the console (event name: sign_up is there but in place of the sign_up_method, there is a -):

What's going wrong here?

Please let me know.

Answer 1

I asked the same question from the Firebase Support Team and they told me that

Unfortunately, not all parameters are represented directly in your Analytics reports. It is only available on a subset of suggested events. But they can be used as filters in Audience definitions for every report. They are also included in data exported to BigQuery if your app is linked to a BigQuery project.

So, either link your app to BigQuery or get satisfied with what Firebase has to provide.

Answer 2

Please check the Firebase Analytics docs for this. Looks like you are incorrectly setting the parameter as FirebaseAnalytics.Param.SIGN_UP_METHOD

It should be FirebaseAnalytics.Param.METHOD instead
