Can I use suggested parameters with custom events in Firebase analytics?

[Sandeep Kumar]

I am new to Firebase analytics. I wanted to know if I can use :

1. Custom Event Suggested Parameter.
2. Suggested Event with Custom Parameters.

I read the documentation, and it says

Some Params are suggested below for certain common Events, but you are not limited to these. You may supply extra Params for suggested Events or custom Params for Custom events.

However I have not found any examples out there implementing this. And it is not mentioned specifically if I can use a Custom Event with Suggested Parameter.

I am recommending event and parameter guide for Firebase analytics tracking to the App development team, so I do not have a complete access to test this out from the App.

Suggested Event with Custom Parameters.

Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.ITEM_ID, id);
bundle.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.ITEM_NAME, name);
bundle.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.CONTENT_TYPE, "image");
bundle.putString("custom_parameter_key", "custom_parameter_value");
mFirebaseAnalytics.logEvent(FirebaseAnalytics.Event.SELECT_CONTENT, bundle);

Custom Event with Suggested Parameters.

Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.ITEM_ID, id);
params.putString("image_name", name);
params.putString("full_text", text);
mFirebaseAnalytics.logEvent("share_image", params);

If you guys could please shed some light on this.

On the coding side, you can use any parameter you want with any event you generate. Intuitively, since you don't trigger the automatically collected events, you can't add your own parameters to those. You can set user properties though, for more persistent data about the client app.

All the parameters you add will show up in your BigQuery export for use in your own data mining. The reports generated by Firebase are a bit more limited; you can register a fixed number of custom parameters to display in these.
