Sherlock

Sherlock reports any crash that occurres in your application as a notification. You just need to initialize Sherlock at the start of your application and it will take care of the rest.

Motivation

The motivation behind creating Sherlock is to make the life of Developer and tester easier. Whenever a tester is testing the app and he/she encounters a crash, most of the time they don't have enough details in their hand to enable developer to start fixing the crash immediately. Now with the help of Sherlock, any tester will have enough info to report the crash.

Demo

Installation

debugCompile( ' com.github.ajitsing:sherlock:1.0.4@aar ' ) { transitive = true } releaseCompile( ' com.github.ajitsing:sherlock-no-op:1.0.4@aar ' )

Usage

To start using Sherlock just add the below line in the onCreate() method of Application class.

public class MyApplication extends Application { @Override public void onCreate () { super . onCreate(); Sherlock . init( this ); // Initializing Sherlock } }

Once you add Sherlock.init(this) Sherlock will take care of reporting all the crashes to you.

See All Crashes

You can view all the crashes by starting the CrashListActivity .

Get All Crashes Captured By Sherlock

Sherlock also provides you a way to get all the crashes which are reported by Sherlock in form of java object. You can get them using below line of code.

Sherlock . getInstance() . getAllCrashes()

Before accessing getInstance() make sure that you have initialized Sherlock, otherwise it will throw SherlockNotInitializedException .

App Info

By default Sherlock only captures the version of your application and shows that as part of crash details. If you want to provide some extra details regarding app, you can do so by providing an AppInfoProvider to the Sherlock.

Sherlock . setAppInfoProvider( new AppInfoProvider () { @Override public AppInfo getAppInfo () { return new AppInfo . Builder () .with( " Version " , " 2.21 " ) // You can get the actual version using "AppInfoUtil.getAppVersion(context)" .with( " BuildNumber " , " 221B " ) .build(); } });

Contributing

You can contribute to Sherlock by forking the repo and creating pull requests. You can also contribute by reporting bugs/issues. If you want to see a new feature in Sherlock, just add that as an issue with enough details.
