Custom Extensions

Implementing an extension

Create a class extending one of the supported interfaces.

It has to be public and have a zero-argument public constructor (as a result, it cannot be an inner class).

Example:

Kotlin

MyAdmin : ReportingAdministrator {
    init {
        Log.d("MyAdmin", "MyAdmin was loaded")
    }
}

Java

public MyAdmin implements ReportingAdministrator {
    public MyAdmin() {
        Log.d("MyAdmin", "MyAdmin was loaded");
    }
}

Supported Extensions	Use Case
Collector	Collect additional custom data not covered by acra
ApplicationStartupCollector	Collector which is also called at startup
ReportInteraction	Usually not needed, as the provided options (dialog, notification, toast) cover all reasonable choices
ReportingAdministrator	Control when reports are generated and when the application should be stopped
ReportSenderFactory	Register custom report senders
ConfigurationBuilderFactory	Register custom configurations
SenderSchedulerFactory	Register custom sender scheduler, e.g. to prevent report sending based on custom conditions
StartupProcessor	Do something ACRA related on app start

Registering an extension

Choose one of the following alternatives:

By annotation

Add the following dependencies:

Kotlin

build.gradle.kts

compileOnly("com.google.auto.service:auto-service-annotations:1.1.1")
//either for java sources:
annotationProcessor("com.google.auto.service:auto-service:1.1.1")
//or for kotlin sources (requires kapt gradle plugin):
kapt("com.google.auto.service:auto-service:1.1.1")
//or for ksp(requires ksp gradle plugin):
ksp("dev.zacsweers.autoservice:auto-service-ksp:1.1.0")
ksp("com.google.auto.service:auto-service:1.1.1")

Groovy

build.gradle

compileOnly "com.google.auto.service:auto-service-annotations:1.1.1"
//either for java sources:
annotationProcessor "com.google.auto.service:auto-service:1.1.1"
//or for kotlin sources (requires kapt gradle plugin):
kapt "com.google.auto.service:auto-service:1.1.1"
//or for ksp(requires ksp gradle plugin):
ksp "dev.zacsweers.autoservice:auto-service-ksp:1.1.0"
ksp "com.google.auto.service:auto-service:1.1.1"

Then annotate your extension with the following:

Kotlin

@AutoService(<ExtensionInterface>::class)

Java

@AutoService(<ExtensionInterface>.class)

By file
