Error Monitoring plugin - Android

The Android Error Monitoring plugin for Zapp is based on implementing the CrashlogPlugin interface. The interface goes through all of the functions for initializing an Error Monitoring provider.

Create a new Error Monitoring plugin

This guide describes how to build an Error Monitoring plugin, what kind of preparations are necessary, which interface methods should be implemented etc.

General Implementation

Before you start, please do the following important steps:

  1. Create a library project using Android Studio.

  2. At the app level build.gradle go to the repositories section and add the Applicaster private Bintray server as follows:

     repositories {
     jcenter()
     mavenCentral()
     maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' }
     maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
     maven {
         credentials {
             username System.getenv("MAVEN_USERNAME")
             password System.getenv("MAVEN_PASSWORD")
         }
         url 'https://dl.bintray.com/applicaster-ltd/maven'
     }
 }

    Note

    • make sure you already have a valid Bintray privileges, if this is not the case go back to getting-started guides and read it in depth.

  3. At the app level build.gradle file add a dependency to com.applicaster:applicaster-android-sdk as follows:

     dependencies {
     // Applicaster SDK
     def applicasterSDKPath = 'com.applicaster:applicaster-android-sdk:4.1.1'

     // Check if an open SDK is defined - if not use the closed one.
     def devSDK = findProject(':applicaster-android-sdk')
     if(devSDK != null){
         implementation project(':applicaster-android-sdk')
     }
     else{
     implementation (applicasterSDKPath)
 }

  4. Create a public class for your push provider plugin and implement the CrashlogPlugin interface inside. In terms of class imports, the CrashlogPlugin interface requires the following:

     import com.applicaster.plugin_manager.crashlog.CrashlogPlugin
  5. Start the plugin development.

Interface description

The below describe the CrashlogPlugin interface methods.

Initialization

Initialize your push provider passing the plugin configuration JSON form later usage

fun init(configuration: Map<String, String>?)

Activation

Activate your Error Monitoring provider passing the application.

fun activate(applicationContext: Application)

Plugin Manifest

Make sure to specify plugin type as error_monitoring
