Installation

Gradle Installation

Add the following dependency to your app module's build.gradle file

dependencies {
   implementation 'com.bugsee:bugsee-android:+'
}

info

The statement above will fetch the latest available version. If instead you want to stick to some particular version, replace the plus symbol (+) with desired value. You can find all the released versions in our release notes.

This is the recommended way to install Bugsee.

If you use Maven (for example, Android Maven Plugin) to build your project, follow the Maven Installation instructions.

warning

If you're getting an "attribute android:foregroundServiceType not found" error, you should set compileSdkVersion in your build.gradle file to 29. Make sure you have that Android SDK installed on your system.

Initialization

If you have no android.app.Application subclass, it is necessary to create it and to specify its name as the "android:name" attribute in your <application> tag in AndroidManifest.xml.

<application
    android:name="com.example.MyApplication">
    <!--...-->
</application>

Launch Bugsee from onCreate() method of your Application subclass.

Java

import com.bugsee.library.Bugsee;

public class MyApplication extends Application {
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        Bugsee.launch(this, "<your_app_token>");
    }
}

Kotlin

import com.bugsee.library.Bugsee

class MyApplication : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        Bugsee.launch(this, "<your_app_token>")
    }
}

If you want to launch Bugsee from some other place (e.g., after a particular user action), you must use another variant of Bugsee.launch() which accepts Activity as the first argument. You must pass the current top activity into it.

Java

import com.bugsee.library.Bugsee;

public class MyCustomActivity extends Activity {
    public void onUserClick() {
        Bugsee.launch(this, "<your_app_token>");
    }
}

Kotlin

import com.bugsee.library.Bugsee

class MyCustomActivity : Activity() {
    override fun onUserClick() {
        Bugsee.launch(this, "<your_app_token>")
    }
}
