Android App Event Monitoring

System event monitoring

You can enable / disable system event monitoring by setting GermainAPMConfiguration.setSystemEventsMonitoring() accordingly. Currently you can either monitor all of them or none. Monitoring of the below events depends on the application's permissions (e.g. if an application doesn't allow to receive calls then Germain UX monitoring won't be able to collect events on incoming calls).

List of system events monitoring can collect:

Application event monitoring

Germain UX collects automatically the following application events:

Application startup event
Application state event (in foreground; in background)
Application low memory event (memory moderate, memory critical, memory low, memory moderate)
Application launch duration transaction

Application closed event and Application uptime duration (total, in foreground, in background)

This monitoring gets initiated automatically by Germain UX but to collect the final data points an end event must be triggered.
We distinct the following application closure scenarios which will end this monitoring:

on application crash - automatic collection triggers if "Automatic crash detection for unhandled exceptions" is enabled
on application removal from recent application list event or calling finishAndRemoveTask() - automatic collection triggers if "Application removal from recent application list event" monitoring is configured and enabled
on application closure done programmatically(e.g. by killing its own process or by calling finishAffinity()) - explicit trigger is required by calling the following code:

Java:

JAVA

// ...
GermainAPM.collectApplicationExit(Boolean calledFromForeground); // calledFromForeground=true if this line is called from a foreground application otherwise set it to false
// your closure code

Kotlin:

JAVA

// ...
GermainAPM.collectApplicationExit(Boolean calledFromForeground) // calledFromForeground=true if this line is called from a foreground application otherwise set it to false
// your closure code

Application removal from recent application list event

This event gets collected when you swipe out monitored application from the recent application task list. Currently this monitoring is supported on SDK 25 or lower due to the limitations imposed by Android SDK26 and above.

This monitoring requires to configure the following service inside your application's AndroidManifest.xml :

JAVA

<manifest>
   //....
   <application>
      //....
      <service 
              android:name="com.germainsoftware.apm.mobile.library.monitoring.RecentAppRemovalListener"
              android:exported="false"
              android:stopWithTask="false" 
      />
   </application>
</manifest>

Component: Mobile App

Feature Availability: 8.6.0 or later
