Expert: Google Firebase and AppGallery Connect Integration in HMS Core Based Expense Android App
6 min readJan 21, 2022
Overview
In this article, we will learn how to create Firebase and HMS Core Android app which highlights use case of Google Analytics and HMS Analytics in Expense Android App. I have given full demo that how to integrate Huawei Analytics and Google Analytics which highlights the capabilities of HMS Core and Google Firebase in Single Android App.
Huawei Analytics Introduction
Analytics kit is powered by Huawei which allows rich analytics models to understand user behavior and gain in-depth insights into users, products, and content. As such, you can carry out data-driven operations and make strategic decisions about app marketing and product optimization.
Analytics Kit implements the following functions using data collected from apps:
1. Provides data collection and reporting APIs for collection and reporting custom events.
2. Sets up to 25 user attributes.
3. Supports automatic event collection and session calculation as well as predefined event IDs and parameters
Google Analytics Introduction
Google Analytics collects usage and behaviour data for your app. The SDK logs two primary types of information:
Events: What is happening in your app, such as user actions, system events, or errors?
User properties: Attributes you define to describe segments of your user base, such as language preference or geographic location.
Analytics automatically logs some events and user properties, you don’t need to add any code to enable them.
Prerequisite
1. Huawei Phone
2. Android Studio
3. Google Firebase Account
4. AppGallery Account
App Gallery Integration process
1. Sign In and Create or Choose a project on AppGallery Connect portal.
2. Navigate to Project settings and download the configuration file.
3. Navigate to General Information, and then provide Data Storage location.
4. Enable Huawei Analytics.
Firebase Integration Process
1. Create a Firebase project.
2. Choose Android as Platform.
3. Add App in your Firebase Project.
4. Download Configuration file.
5. Enable Google Analytics(Firebase)
App Development
1. Create A New Project.
2. Configure Project Gradle.
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.4'classpath 'com.huawei.agconnect:agcp:1.3.1.300'classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.5'
3. Configure App Gradle.
//HMS Kitsapi 'com.huawei.hms:dynamicability:1.0.11.302'implementation 'com.huawei.agconnect:agconnect-auth:1.4.1.300'implementation 'com.huawei.hms:hwid:5.3.0.302'implementation 'com.huawei.hms:ads-lite:13.4.30.307'implementation 'com.huawei.agconnect:agconnect-remoteconfig:1.6.0.300'implementation 'com.huawei.hms:hianalytics:5.0.3.300'implementation 'com.huawei.agconnect:agconnect-crash:1.4.1.300'//Google Tag Manager with Analyticsimplementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:26.8.0')implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics'implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-tagmanager:17.0.0'
4. Configure AndroidManifest.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.hms.expensedemo"> <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round" android:supportsRtl="true" android:theme="@style/AppTheme"> <activity android:name="com.hms.expensedemo.activities.MainActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"> </activity> <activity android:name="com.hms.expensedemo.activities.AddExpenseActivity" /> <activity android:name="com.hms.expensedemo.activities.SplashScreen" android:theme="@style/SplashTheme"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application></manifest>

Tips and Tricks
1. 5.2.0 or later. If HMS Core (APK) is not installed or its version is earlier than 5.2.0, DTM functions can be normally used but the DTM SDK version cannot be updated automatically.
2. Ensure that Analytics Kit has been enabled, and the API management permission (enabled by default) has been enabled on the Manage APIs tab page in AppGallery Connect.
3. Ensure that the agconnect-services.json file is the original one without any modification.
