# Reusing Google Analytics tagging

You can reuse your Google Analytics data to target your users with the [Xtremepush Google Analytics Integration](/documentation/docs/google-analytics-4). To enable this you will need to do some work on the App-side and on the Platform.

## App-side

### iOS

To enable the Google Analytics targeting feature, call the following method with the Google Analytics ID as the second param where this is available:

**Swift**

```swift
// iOS enable google analytics targeting
XPush.hitTag("user.ga_id", withValue:GA_ID);
```

**Objective-C**

```objectivec
// iOS enable google analytics targeting
[XPush hitTag:@"user.ga_id" withValue: GA_ID];
```

The Google Analytics ID can be retrieved using the following method from the GA SDK.

**Swift**

```swift
tracker.get(kGAIClientId)
```

**Objective-C**

```objectivec
[tracker get:kGAIClientId]
```

This ID should also be set as a custom dimension on the GA tracker

**Swift**

```swift
// Set the custom dimension value on the tracker using its index.
tracker.set(GAIFields.customDimension(for: 1), value:GA_ID)
```

**Objective-C**

```objectivec
// Set the custom dimension value on the tracker using its index.
[tracker set:[GAIFields customDimensionForIndex:1]  value:GA_ID];
```

If you have a user id you send to Xtremepush, you can set that as a custom dimension as well if you don't do this already.

**Swift**

```swift
tracker.set(GAIFields.customDimension(for: 2), value:YOUR_User_ID)
```

**Objective-C**

```objectivec
[tracker set:[GAIFields customDimensionForIndex:2]  value:YOUR_User_ID];
```

Your user ID should also be set as the user ID on the GA tracker.

**Swift**

```swift
tracker?.set(kGAIUserId, value:YOUR_User_ID)
```

**Objective-C**

```objectivec
[tracker set:kGAIUserId value: YOUR_User_ID];
```

Finally, after completing the above settings, a `ScreenView` can be sent

**Swift**

```swift
tracker.send(GAIDictionaryBuilder.createScreenView().build() as! [AnyHashable : Any]!)
```

**Objective-C**

```objectivec
[tracker send:[[GAIDictionaryBuilder createScreenView] build]];
```

> [!TIP]
> IDs should be sent with *every* hit

### Android

To enable the Google Analytics targeting feature call the following method with the Google Analytics ID as the second param where this is available.

```java
// Android enable google analytics targeting

mPushConnector.hitTag("user.ga_id", GA_ID);
```

The Google Analytics ID can be retrieved using the following method from the GA SDK.

```java
tracker.get("&cid");
```

The GA_ID and the YOUR_User_ID should also be set as custom dimensions on the GA tracker. For example a `ScreenView` can be sent as follows:

```java
// Send the custom dimension with a screen view.

       tracker.send(new HitBuilders.ScreenViewBuilder()

           .setCustomDimension(1, GA_ID )

           .setCustomDimension(2, YOUR_User_ID )

           .build()

       );
```
