Firebase Analytics custom events params

Question

I am completely new to Firebase analytics. I am trying to send an event which shows statistics about my API call.

endTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;

// [START event]
Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString(FirebaseConstants.PHONE_NUMBER, Utility.getPhone());
params.putLong(FirebaseConstants.DURATION, endTime);
FirebaseAnalytics
            .getInstance(getContext())
            .logEvent(FirebaseConstants.BALANCE_CHECK, params);
// [END event]

But I only see the name of the event, number of users and occurrence count. 24 hours have already passed and I don't see my custom properties. For reference, I want to see a phone number(Utility.getPhone()) and the time which API call takes(endtime). Maybe it is possible that it does not send anything because I created custom params in my FirebaseConstans class

[Update, May 2017]

As of May 2017, custom parameter reporting is now supported in Google Analytics for Firebase. Please refer to this help center article for more details.

Answer 2

your custom data and parameters will be available as soon as your audience reach 10 or more, that is a privacy restriction. so just use it in your activity as:

FirebaseAnalytics mFirebaseAnalytics = FirebaseAnalytics.getInstance(this);
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("some_key", "some_value");
mFirebaseAnalytics.logEvent("some_name", bundle);

it will work (after some time (max 24 hrs) you can see some_name as event in your event view but some_key will be available when audience is 10 or more).

As of https://support.google.com/firebase/answer/7397304?hl=en&ref_topic=6317489, you need to register your parameters before they can be shown

When you first set up custom parameters, a data card for it will be added to your event detail report. However, it may take up to 24 hours for any data to appear.
