Android Java or Kotlin example for sending Custom Events & Parameters to Google Analytics 4

Question

Looking for most recent Google Analytics 4 for Android custom Events implementation / example / instructions. Specifically looking for:

• Java or Kotlin code needed to send custom events with custom parameters
• Additional steps in Google Analytics admin for creating custom definitions / parameters

I'm not looking for old Firebase events as this is now part of GA4 - its different now.

Google's help for this shows a video with web examples that are not applicable to Android directly.

So, a recent implementation or code sample would be very helpful.
