Install

Install the Crash Reporter module using Maven (recommended) or manually.

Maven

To install the module using Maven:

In your project’s top-level build.gradle file, add the following Maven repository:
```
maven {
      url "https://maven.tealiumiq.com/android/releases/"
}
```

In your project module’s build.gradle file, add the Maven dependencies for the Tealium library and Crash Reporter:

dependencies {
      implementation 'com.tealium:kotlin-core:1.6.0'
      implementation 'com.tealium:kotlin-crash-reporter:1.1.1'
}

Manual

To install the Crash Reporter manually:

Download the Tealium Crash Reporter module.
Copy the file tealium-kotlin.crashreporter-1.1.1.aar into your project’s <PROJECT_ROOT>/<MODULE>/libs directory.

Add the Tealium library dependency to your project module’s build.gradle file:

dependencies {
      implementation(name:'tealium-kotlin.crashreporter-1.1.1', ext:'aar')
}

Initialize

Initialize the Crash Reporter module, as shown in the following example:

val config = TealiumConfig(application,
              "ACCOUNT",
              "PROFILE",
              ENVIRONMENT,
              modules = mutableSetOf(Modules.CrashReporter), // Crash Reporter module
              dispatchers = mutableSetOf(Dispatchers.Collect,
              Dispatchers.TagManagement,
              Dispatchers.RemoteCommands)
)

To truncate the Crash Reporter’s stack trace, set the configuration option truncateCrashReporterStackTraces to true (default: false).

config.truncateCrashReporterStackTraces = true

Tracked Events

Once initialized, the Crash Reporter module automatically captures crash data. If a thread abruptly terminates, .uncaughtExceptionHandler() is invoked and the crash information is saved to disk. Upon the next launch, the saved crash information will be dispatched along with your other events.

Crash events are tracked as tealium_event="crash".

Crash Reporter is a singleton instance call. Chaining handlers is not currently supported.

Data Layer

The Crash Reporter module sends the following crash attributes in the event:

Variable	Type	Description
`crash_cause`	String	The exception type
`crash_count`	Number	An incremented counter for each crash since install
`crash_name`	String	The exception message
`crash_threads`	Array of Strings	Array of JSON strings containing data of the crashed thread, including the thread ID and stack trace
`crash_uuid`	String	16-character unique ID for each crash event

Example:

{
  "tealium_event" : "crash",
  "crash_cause"   : "java.lang.RuntimeException",
  "crash_count"   : "1",
  "crash_name"    : "Connection refused by server",
  "crash_threads" : [
    "{ \"crashed\": \"true\", \"state\": \"RUNNABLE\", \"threadNumber\": \"1\", \"threadId\": \"main\", \"priority\": \"5\", \"stack\":  [ { \"fileName\": \"MainActivity.java\", \"className\": \"com.tealium.libraryproject.MainActivity$1\", \"methodName\": \"onClick\", \"lineNumber\": \"38\" }] }"
  ],
  "crash_uuid"    : "3c91d707-949e-445f-8ad1-4d6e200bfd6f"
}
