I want to integrate Google Analytics SDK V4 in my app but I have a problem sending events. I integrated the SDK and generated the configuration file as indicated on the offical documentation. I integrated the conf file on my project, set my build.gradle file, added the AnalyticsService to my Manifest and initialized Google Analytics in my application class:
synchronized public Tracker getDefaultTracker() {
if (mTracker == null) {
GoogleAnalytics analytics = GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this);
mTracker = analytics.newTracker(R.xml.global_tracker);
}
return mTracker;
}
The R.xml.global_tracker is generated at build and only contains the string ga_trackingId.
When I try to sent events, I can see on the logcat they are sent:
09-19 11:04:29.167 com.myapp.mypackage.debug I/GAv4: Google Analytics 9.0.80 is starting up. To enable debug logging on a device run:

But I never see them on the Developer console. When I go on Analytics API on my console, I see "There is no data for this API in this time span". I did my tests friday and event after more than 48h, they don't appear. Also, I see this warning on the Analytics API console:
This API is enabled, but you can't use it in your project until you create credentials. Click "Go to Credentials" to do this now (strongly recommended). Go to Credentials Overview Quotas
If I go to the Credentials Overview, I can see the key "Android key (auto created by Google Service)" which correspond to the key in my google-services.json, so I don't understand why the warning is here.
Can you see where the problem comes from? I searched a lot but was enable to find a response to it.
Thanks!
So apparently, I wasn't looking at the good place. I thought the analytics reports could be seen on the dev console, in Analytics API, but thanks to ZShock, I know they are on analytics.google.com. It isn't written anywhere on the official documentation, so it's pretty disturbing for new users...
