I have an existing Android Project existing for years now, also included with GoogleAnalytics. Now I come to migrate the project to AndroidStudio.
I followed the Instructions : https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/android/v4/ , but I am stuck at "Get a configuration file", which I do not understand. In this step they want me register a new app and I get the following form. How can I choose my already existing App. I know my Packagename, but for the Appname I am not sure. And if I would fill in the correct names, would I be able to choose my existing App ? I do not want to create a new App in GOogle Play Console, because I fear everything is destroyed.
How to get the google-services.json without overwriting (destroying) my already existing App in GooglePlay Store
Google highly recommend to use firebase instead of google analytics. All manuals and guidelines are changed for easy to use firebase implementation.
Firebase is much mire better than google analytics for mobile app development.

I want to make an android project using firebase as backend for it, the project contains multiple apps for admin,vendor,user and I know it's possible to add multiple apps in the same firebase project but is it possible to use one project and different apps in google developer console to add sha-1 for every app in it or what the best approach to implement that?
I'm an android developper and i've a few apps published on google play... I do myself every single aspect of my apps including maintence.
I've two similar apps that share some core API... they dont share database nor storage, just some java API of my own and some google cloud functions i made (public)
When i was preparing the firebase infrastructue to run the second one i decided for creating a second app in the same firebase project as the first one... this was a decision made basically because i hated the firebase "switch between projects" tools.
my question is:
what are the advantages and disadvntages of having multiple apps sharing same firebase project?
when should i create a new project for a new app and when should i reuse the project
I'm a single self suficient developper so any sort of "project permissions" wont make difference to me
The primary reason to have multiple apps in the same project is when you want to share database and user data between them. Multiple apps in the same project are definitely expected to share data and configuration across all Firebase products. A common use case is when you have an end-user app and an admin app, both working against the same data.
If you're not sharing data between the apps, then you will only run into future trouble if you have multiple apps in the same project. (For example, see this question which was asked at the same time as yours.)
I'm building an android app that is gonna be used by many users. So I'd like to know how the app can be automatically updated for all user as long as I'll be updating new version. How the application can automatically search for updates.
Is there any tutorial link or explanation that can help in that way?
if your app will be used by many users you should publish it in Google Play Store using Google Play Console, using it you have the control of bug reports, installations and Crashes and ANR logs, the country of your user and more... But if you won't publish your app in Play Store you can follow some tutorials or add a text file on active URL where you compare the Application version with the Version wrote in the file, if the application version is oldest in another file write the link of the new version.
Is any way exists to publicate android app via github, not Google Play ?
I'm goind to do some app for my friends, and want be able update and easy install it without full sized publication.
Buddy what i guess is
github is made for version controlling and publishing your projects codes right overthere for to help people not to publish your apk. If you want to do that u have to spent around 25$ to create a google developer play account and upload your app there.
Concluding : github is not to publish your android apks
I've got a Google Cloud console project, which I use for Google Play Game Services. Now I've read this article, talking about easily creating a mobile backend for your app. However, this only talks about creating a new project. I want to deploy the backend for my existing project.
Is that possible? How would I do that? Note that when I go to my project page in the Google Cloud Console, there is no "Getting Started" button, or "Deploy" button.
If you have an existing project created from cloud console, then you can deploy the mobile backend starter for it from the project page. If you are not seeing the option, then possibly, it is collapsed as below:
If you click that, you should be able to see the mobile backend option or photofeed app option, which are horizontally scrollable
Note, we have changed the UI a bit in the Cloud Console. But you can still deploy the mobile backend sample. https://developers.google.com/cloud/samples/mbs/deploy_backend
It would seem to me that as of this posting (4/10/14) the easiest way to do this is to just append /mobilesample to the main URL of your project, like so;
https://console.developers.google.com/project/half~baked-UIswitch-538/mobilesample/
From there you just click the deploy button, and you're good. At least I was good. And I have no idea what I'm doing :P
