How to configure dry run and log level options via XML in Google Analytics v4 SDK for Android?

Question

The parameters documentation for the XML configuration file used by the Google Analytics v4 SDK (as found in the Google Play Services 4.3.23 release) says that ga_dryRun

Answer 1

From your setup, it looks like you are specifying the settings in a tracker configuration.

The values of ga_dryRun and ga_logLevel are global settings for the app and not specific to a particular tracker from v4 onwards. Can you make sure that you are following the steps written in the documentation here?

To quote, Use the following to setup the configuration:

In AndroidManifest.xml

 <meta-data
   android:name="com.google.android.gms.analytics.globalConfigResource"
   android:resource="@xml/analytics_global_config" />

In analytics_global_config.xml

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <resources>
   <bool name="ga_dryRun">true</bool>
   <string name="ga_logLevel">verbose</string>
 </resources>
