I am planning to use firebase analytics in my android application.
I want to use it for statistical purposes such as knowing the geo-location of customers, their preferences etc.
Mainly I want user's geolocation (area, city, state, geo coordinate etc.)
Right now only country is visible as location.
How can I get other parameters of geolocation of any user ?

Google Analytics — If you enable Google Analytics in your Firebase project, you're prompted to select an Analytics reporting location. This location represents the country or region of your organization. Your Analytics location, in turn, sets the currency for revenue reporting.
By default, the Firebase SDK collects identifiers for mobile devices (for example, Android Advertising ID and Advertising Identifier for iOS) and utilizes technologies similar to cookies. On iOS, the SDK collects the Advertising Identifier if it is available.
Analytics surfaces data about user behavior in your iOS and Android apps, enabling you to make better decisions about your product and marketing optimization. View crash data, notification effectiveness, deep-link performance, in-app purchase data, and more.
How does Google track user location? Google Analytics tracks user's location based on their IP address. That means users are tracked based on where their internet connection is, not necessarily where they are.
Reply from Firebase support team on my mail :
Currently, only data for country is available via Analytics console. However, we already have a feature request to add other geolocation data (region, city, etc.) in it. However, I can't give a definite timeline or details for when it will be available. I'll suggest to keep an eye out on our release notes to get the latest Firebase updates.
Aside from that, you may want to link your Firebase app to BigQuery so you could access your raw analytics data which will then be exported to a corresponding BigQuery dataset on a daily basis. You can perform queries and do a custom analysis of your analytics data in there.
