Backtrace Integration with Android

Backtrace's integration with Android applications written in Java or Kotlin allows you to capture and report handled and unhandled java exceptions so you can prioritize and debug software errors. Backtrace also captures and reports native (JNI/NDK) handled and unhandled exceptions if native integration is enabled.

Installation

Gradle

// provide the latest version of the Backtrace reporting library.
dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.backtrace-labs.backtrace-android:backtrace-library:<add-latest-version>'
}

Maven

<!-- provide the latest version of the Android SDK. -->
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.backtrace-labs.backtrace-android</groupId>
  <artifactId>backtrace-library</artifactId>
  <version><add-latest-version></version>
  <type>aar</type>
</dependency>

Usage

Java

// replace with your submission url 
BacktraceCredentials credentials = new BacktraceCredentials("<submissionUrl>");
BacktraceClient backtraceClient = new BacktraceClient(getApplicationContext(), credentials);

// send test report
backtraceClient.send("test");

// Capture uncaught exceptions
BacktraceExceptionHandler.enable(backtraceClient);

// Enable ANR detection
backtraceClient.enableAnr();

// Enable Crash Free metrics
backtraceClient.metrics.enable();

Kotlin

// replace with your submission url
val credentials = BacktraceCredentials("<submissionUrl>")
val backtraceClient = BacktraceClient(applicationContext, credentials)

// send test report
backtraceClient.send("test")

// Capture uncaught exceptions
BacktraceExceptionHandler.enable(backtraceClient)

// Enable ANR detection
backtraceClient.enableAnr()

// Enable Crash Free metrics
backtraceClient.metrics.enable()
