Ease of Integration
Ease of Integration Fabric.with(this, new Crashlytics());
Extensible
Extensible Crashlytics.start(this);
Extensible Crashlytics.start(this, 5); Crashlytics.setListener(createCrashlyticsListener()); Crashlytics.setPinningInfo(createPinningInfoProvider()) Crashlytics.getInstance().setDebugMode(true);
Extensible Crashlytics.setListener(createCrashlyticsListener()); Crashlytics.setPinningInfo(createPinningInfoProvider()); Crashlytics.getInstance().setDebugMode(true); Crashlytics.start(this, 5);
Extensible Crashlytics.start(this, delay, listener, pinningInfo, debugMode);
Extensible Crashlytics.start(this, 0, null, null, null, true);
Fluent Pattern Crashlytics crashlytics = new Crashlytics.Builder() .delay(1) .listener(createCrashlyticsListener()) .pinningInfo(createPinningInfoProvider())
.build(); Fabric.with(this, crashlytics);
Fluent Pattern Fabric.with(new Fabric.Builder(this) .kits(new Crashlytics()) .debuggable(true) .logger(new DefaultLogger(Log.VERBOSE)) .looper(getCustomLooper())
.executor(getCustomExecutorService()) .build());
Extensible Classes class MyApiClient extends TwitterApiClient { interface MyService {
@GET(“/1.1/statuses/show.json”) Tweet getTweet(@Query(“id”) int id); } MyService getMyService() { return getService(MyService.class); } }
Gracefully Degrade
Gracefully Degrade if (TextUtils.isEmpty(apiKey) if (debuggable){ throw new IllegalArgumentException( “apiKey
is null!"); } else { return null; } }
Minimizing Permissions
Minimizing Permissions <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
Minimizing Permissions Crashlytics.setUserEmail(“
[email protected]
”);
Permissions: Runtime Detection protected boolean canCheckNetworkState() { String permission =
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE; int result = context.checkCallingOrSelfPermission(permission); return (result == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED); }
Multiple Application Types
Multiple Application Types package com.example; import android.app.Service; public class MyService
extends Service { }
UI from Application Context WeakReference<Activity> currentActivity = new WeakReference<Activity>(); @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH)
void registerLifecycleCallbacks() { if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.FROYO) { final Application app = ((Application)context); app.registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks( new ActivityLifecycleCallbacks() { @Override public void onActivityResumed(Activity activity) { currentActivity.set(activity); } }); } }
