Firebase Analytics setScreenName deprecated

Question

In version 6.29.0 of Firebase Analytics the method

class func setScreenName(_ screenName: String?, screenClass screenClassOverride: String?)

is deprecated. The hint given is to Use +[FIRAnalytics logEventWithName:kFIREventScreenView parameters:] instead.

My question is what is the parameter for screenName? How do I rewrite my helper method:

import FirebaseAnalytics
func setScreenName(_ screenName: String) {
    Analytics.setScreenName(screenName, screenClass: nil)
}

Solution 1

This is the code to rewrite the deprecated method:

Replace this line:

Analytics.setScreenName(screenName, screenClass: nil)

With this line:

Analytics.logEvent(AnalyticsEventScreenView, parameters: [AnalyticsParameterScreenName: screenName])

Solution 2

I did it in this way:

Deprecated code

Analytics.setScreenName(name, screenClass: className)

new code

Analytics.logEvent(AnalyticsEventScreenView, parameters: [AnalyticsParameterScreenName: name,
                                                          AnalyticsParameterScreenClass: className])

Solution 3

Just in case it can help someone, here is the Objective-C version:

[FIRAnalytics logEventWithName:kFIREventScreenView parameters: @{kFIRParameterScreenName: screenName}];

Solution 4

Here is the Android version:

Java

Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.SCREEN_NAME, screenName);
bundle.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.SCREEN_CLASS, screenClass);
bundle.putString(MyAppAnalyticsConstants.Param.TOPIC, topic);
mFirebaseAnalytics.logEvent(FirebaseAnalytics.Event.SCREEN_VIEW, bundle);

Kotlin

val bundle = Bundle()
bundle.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.SCREEN_NAME, screenName)
bundle.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.SCREEN_CLASS,classname)
firebase.logEvent(FirebaseAnalytics.Event.SCREEN_VIEW, bundle)

Solution 5

extension Analytics
{
    static func setScreenName(_ screenName:String, screenClass:String)
    {
        Analytics.logEvent(AnalyticsEventScreenView, parameters: [AnalyticsParameterScreenName: screenName,AnalyticsParameterScreenClass:screenClass])
    }
}

Simple add this extension in your project no need to change anything after this

Ah, I missed the AnalyticsParameterScreenName part. Thanks!

Hi, sorry to ask this question but since you manually log the event (in your answer), isn't there a problem of data duplication due to Firebase automatic event collect. Screen views won't be logged twice?

Which file do we replace this in?

[StormFoo]

You can also add kFIRParameterScreenClass to your parameters to replace screenClass.

@MavBzh you should place it in viewDidAppear, if you don't, Firebase (used to) automatically send it, with a "not set" screen name. Perhaps they changed it recently

[Kowboj]

@AnilkumariOS-ReactNative you probably need to import FirebaseAnalytics in this file, or use "kFIRParameterScreenName".
