How to Make Phimpme Android App Crash Free
Now Phimpme Android app is almost ready with lots of social sharing options. A user can upload images on multiple platforms like Tumblr, Flickr, Imgur, OwnCloud (open source), Nextcloud, dropbox, pinterest, etc. Apart from Sharing, Phimpme app also allow user to click image from own custom camera with different filters and various editing options. As everything is now almost ready so It also important to make app stable and crash free. To make app stable to compatible with all types of device, we can write instrumentation test cases. So in this post I will be explaining how I made Phimpme android app crash free. To do so I have integrated crash reporting service in Phimpme using Firebase Crash report service and Crashlytics.
Using Firebase Crash Reporting service:
Firebase is free of cost and provide various features along with crash reporting. To integrate firebase crash service there is step by step guide.
Step 1:
First, step is to register your app on firebase developer console. To register your Android app on firebase click here. Add your app name and select your country.
Step 2:
Next, click on the Add Firebase to your Android app button and fill in the your Android application’s package name and the SHA-1 key. You can generate this key very easily with the help of Android studio. Type this command in your terminal to generate SHA-1
keytool -list -v -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android
On successful completion of the command, the SHA-1 key will be displayed on the terminal.
Step 3:
Now add the SHA-1 and package name in firebase console. After that download googleservice.json file and place in app folder of your project.
Step 4:
Add following dependency in your android project and plugin in build.gradle
dependencies { classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.0' } apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
Step 5:
Once you have done the above four steps your app will be visible in firebase console and now you can add crash service. Now you can see crash in your firebase console
After this add the following dependency in build.gradle. This is very important.
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:9.4.0'
