How do I track custom events for a mobile app in GA4?
Asked on Oct 02, 2025
Answer
To track custom events for a mobile app in Google Analytics 4 (GA4), you need to implement event tracking using the Firebase SDK. This involves defining the custom events you want to track and then logging these events in your app's code.
<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
// Example of logging a custom event in a mobile app using Firebase SDK
FirebaseAnalytics.getInstance(context).logEvent("custom_event_name", new Bundle());
// Add parameters to the Bundle if needed
Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString("param_name", "param_value");
FirebaseAnalytics.getInstance(context).logEvent("custom_event_name", params);
<!-- END COPY / PASTE -->Additional Comment:
- Ensure the Firebase SDK is correctly integrated into your mobile app.
- Define clear and meaningful event names and parameters for better reporting.
- Test the event logging in a development environment before deploying to production.
- Review the events in GA4 by navigating to Reports → Engagement → Events.
