• Navigation

• Application lifecycle

Application activity can be correlated with performance, errors, transactions, and device conditions.

💥 Crash & Exception Monitoring

Automatically detect application crashes caused by unhandled exceptions.

GermainUX can also monitor handled exceptions reported by the application.

This helps teams determine:

• What failed

• When it failed

• Which application version was affected

• Which device conditions were present

• Whether the issue affects a particular user population or device configuration

🚨 Error Monitoring

Capture and analyze application errors affecting native Android users.

Errors can be analyzed alongside:

• User sessions

• Application events

• Transactions

• Device conditions

• Network connectivity

• Application version

This provides additional context for identifying recurring or high-impact application problems.

🧩 Fragment, View & Screen Monitoring

Monitor how users interact with Android fragments, views, and screens.

GermainUX can provide visibility into:

• Fragment lifecycle

• Fragment usage

• Screen navigation

• View performance

• User interactions

• Time spent within application areas

This helps teams understand both application usage and performance at the UI level.

⏱️ Transaction Monitoring

Monitor important operations within the Android application.

Transactions can include:

• Network requests

• Database operations

• Application operations

• Critical user actions

• Other application-specific transactions

Transaction monitoring helps identify bottlenecks and understand which operations contribute to slow or failed mobile experiences.

🔄 Workflow Monitoring

Monitor mobile business processes and user journeys that are important to the organization.

GermainUX can help identify:

• Drop-offs

• Workflow inefficiencies

• Overruns

• Slow process steps

• Failed application operations

This connects technical mobile telemetry with the business workflows users are trying to complete.

📲 Application Lifecycle & System Events

GermainUX can monitor supported application and Android system events.

Application events include conditions such as:

• Application launch

• Foreground/background transitions

• Application termination

Depending on Android permissions and platform restrictions, system events can include:

• Battery changes

• Network changes

• Device startup

• Power-state changes

• Storage conditions

• Configuration changes

Event availability depends on Android version, permissions, device manufacturer, and operating-system restrictions.

📊 Android Device Observability

GermainUX can monitor Android device conditions that may contribute to poor application performance or user productivity.

Available telemetry can include:

• Device manufacturer and model

• Android version

• Battery level and charging state

• CPU-related measurements

• Available memory

• Storage utilization

• Network connectivity

• Application usage when Android Usage Access is granted

• Supported process and service information

• Device events

Android restricts access to some system and application information, so available telemetry varies according to Android version, permissions, device manufacturer, and management policy.

🔋 Battery Monitoring

Monitor available battery conditions such as:

• Battery level

• Charging state

• Power source

• Low-battery events

• Power-saving state

Battery telemetry can help determine whether poor application behavior or interrupted activity correlates with device power conditions.

💾 CPU, Memory & Storage Monitoring

Monitor device resource conditions available to GermainUX.

Depending on Android APIs and permissions, this can include:

• CPU utilization available to the monitoring application

• Available memory

• Low-memory conditions

• Application-process memory

• Internal storage capacity

• Available storage

• Storage utilization

• Low-storage events

Modern Android versions limit visibility into other applications and processes. GermainUX should therefore not be positioned as providing unrestricted inspection of every application running on a device.

📡 Network Monitoring

Monitor mobile network conditions that may affect application reliability or performance.

Available context can include:

• Connected / disconnected state

• Wi-Fi or cellular connection

• Metered-network state

• Available network capabilities

• Network usage available to the application

Network telemetry can be correlated with application transactions, crashes, and performance to identify connectivity-related problems.

📊 Application Usage Monitoring

When Android Usage Access is explicitly granted, GermainUX can collect permitted application-usage information.

This can include:

• Application foreground activity

• Usage duration

• Last-used time

• Usage frequency

Usage Access is a special Android permission and should only be enabled for approved monitoring purposes and applications.

🔍 Correlate Application & Device Experience

One of the strongest benefits of combining application and device monitoring is the ability to correlate poor user experience with underlying mobile conditions.

For example:

Slow Transaction → Application Operation → Cellular Connection

or:

Application Failure → Low Memory → Device / Android Version

or:

Interrupted Workflow → Low Battery / Power-Saving State

This helps teams answer:

What happened in the application?

and:

Were device conditions contributing to it?

📊 Real-Time Dashboards & Automated Reports

Analyze mobile application and device telemetry through customizable dashboards and automated reports.

Examples include:

• Mobile application usage

• Application performance

• Crashes and exceptions

• Transaction performance

• Workflow performance

• Device models

• Android versions

• Battery

• Memory

• Storage

• Network state

• Device events

Mobile telemetry can be segmented to identify patterns associated with specific devices, Android versions, networks, or application versions.

🔔 Alerts & SLA Monitoring

Configure alerts for actionable mobile conditions such as:

• Application crash

• Application unavailable

• Critical transaction failure

• Performance degradation

• Device stops reporting

• Low available storage

• Repeated low-memory events

• Critical monitored service unavailable

• Connectivity loss affecting a critical workflow

A device that stops reporting should be treated as a monitoring condition rather than definitive proof that the device itself has failed.

⚙️ Automation

Mobile application and device conditions can trigger GermainUX automation.

For example:

Monitor → Detect → Analyze → Alert → Automate

Depending on the use case, automation can include:

• Notifications

• Reports

• Incident workflows

• Scripts

• Other configured operational actions
