StreamView Your Location Using Android Studio And InstanceID Token

Introduction

 
This article demonstrates how to add StreamView Location on an Android application using Android Studio and InstanceID token. Also, you will see how to send the new Firebase InstanceID token to your cloud.
 

StreamView

 
A Windows analytics event in your app, StreamView gives you a live view of the events as they are collected by the report. StreamView collects the information for the last 30 minutes. There is no setup needed to use StreamView.

Step 1
 
Create a new project in Android Studio from File >> Project and fill in all the necessary details.
 
Android 
 
Step 2
 
Create a new project in Firebase console.
 
Android
 
Enter your application package name. The Nick Name and Debug certificate SHA-1 are optional. 
 
Android
 
You need to download a google-services.json file and just move the downloaded google-services file into the Android app.

Step 3
 
Next, go to Gradle Scripts >> build.gradle (Module: app).Select build.gradle. 
 
The app Gradle compiles the code, and then the build types will appear.
 
Just replace that with the following code and add the Firebase Core and Firebase Message Gradle to your project, or you can also use Gradle.
 
Dependencies Class
  1. classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.0'  
Gradle for app
  1. dependencies {    
  2.   
  3.     compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:12.0.0'    
  4.     compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:12.0.0'    
  5.     compile 'com.firebase:firebase-jobdispatcher:0.8.5'  
  6.   
  7. }    
  8. apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'  
Step 4
 
Next, go to app >> manifest >> AndroidManifest.xml. Select the Manifest file to follow the code.
  1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
  2. <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Step 6
 
After that, again, go back to Console Firebase > Click OverView. This shows daily active users and monthly active users in the view but there is no active count.

Step 7
 
Next, go to Android Studio and deploy the application. Select Emulator or your Android Device with USB debugging enabled. Give it a few seconds to make installations and set permissions.
 
Output
 
When you click the "Subscribe" button, it is getting an InstanceID token. If you want to click Log Token, your StreamView user gets active on the Firebase cloud side.
 
Android 
 
Your Analytics data will appear here soon.

Geographical View

 
Finally, Firebase has collected all information on your device including your device name, version, etc.
 
Android 
 
Your device is located here (Mobile Name and Location ).
 
Android 
 
We have successfully created the Location View app.
