Initialize SDK

Call init() with your appID to configure and start LogRocket. You can find your appID on https://app.logrocket.com under Settings > Project Setup.

Configure Gradle

The LogRocket Android SDK is distributed through Maven. To include the SDK in your application add our Maven repository in your settings.gradle or app/build.gradle file. Then, declare the logrocket dependency in your app/build.gradle file. New releases of the LogRocket Native SDKs are catalogued on our Mobile SDK Changelog.

repositories {
    // Add this declaration to any existing repositories block.
    maven { url "https://storage.googleapis.com/logrocket-maven/" }
}

dependencies {
    // Add this declaration to any existing dependencies block.
    implementation "com.logrocket:logrocket:[1.0, 2.0)"
}

Initializing the SDK

The LogRocket Android SDK must be initialized with an Application instance and a fully attached Context for the application. The simplest way to initialize the SDK is from a custom Application class in the attachBaseContext method.

Replace <APP_SLUG> with your LogRocket application slug, located in our dashboard's quick start guides.

import android.app.Application;
import com.logrocket.core.SDK;

public class App extends Application {
  @Override
  protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
    super.attachBaseContext(base);

    SDK.init(
      this,
      base,
      options -> {
        options.setAppID("<APP_SLUG>");
      }
    );
  }
}

If you did not already have an existing custom Application class, add the name of the class as the android:name property for the <application> node in AndroidManifest.xml:

<application
  android:name=".App"
  ..>

Supported Android Versions

The LogRocket Android SDK supports Android API 25 (Nougat) through Android API 35 (Vanilla Ice Cream).
