B4A Library Crashlytics - crash reports

Google has deprecated the old method. The instructions were updated. Note that the old class is no longer required.

1. Make sure to use B4A v10.2+ with the recommended SDK: https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html
2. Follow firebase integration tutorial: Integrating Firebase Services
3. Add a reference to OkHttpUtils2.
4. Add to Main:
   
   #AdditionalJar: com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics
   
   
5. Make sure that #VersionName attribute is not empty. It will not work with an empty value.
6. Add to manifest editor:
   
   CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.GooglePlayBase)
   CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.Firebase)
   CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.Crashlytics)
7. Make sure that Crashlytics is enabled in Firebase console and crash the app in release mode. You can use this code:
   
   Dim i As Int = "aaa"

The crash should appear in Firbease console under Quality - Crashlytics after a few minutes.

Do we need to register to fabric.io site because waited about 10 minutes and crash reports are not coming yet. maybe it takes time.

The long GUID id should be changed whenever you make a new release. It uniquely identifies the build.
You can change one or more of the hex digits.

Is there an automatism or does it have to be changed manually?

 

[DonManfred]

Is there an automatism

no

 

[Deleted member 103]

no

Then I have to come up with something.

Then I have to come up with something.

you can write a b4j app which is called in a custombuildaction which then changes the B4A File (the Manifestpart) using regex for ex. to find the value and change it.

I know, but I prefer programming that in Visual Studio.

hi


If we use the

    Try  
        Dim i As Int = "aaa"
    Catch
        Log(LastException.Message)
    End Try

Will this error be sent to Firebase again?

If the answer is no, how can we send this error to Firebase?

thankyou

 

[Michael2150]

Do we still need the Crashlytics class in the project?

Will this error be sent to Firebase again?

I don't see the error in Firebase Console If I use the try..catch.

If the answer is no, how can we send this error to Firebase?

Use the events of Firebase Analitics (I don't know other way):

    Catch
        Log(LastException.Message)
        Starter.analytics.SendEvent("FirebaseError", LastException.Message)
