Coralogix Android RUM SDK

The Coralogix Android SDK provides Real User Monitoring (RUM) capabilities for Android apps. It captures logs, errors, network requests, custom metrics, and mobile performance data, and sends them to Coralogix for advanced observability and analytics.

Quickstart

Add the dependency and initialize the SDK in your Application class.

class MyApp : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()

        val options = CoralogixOptions(
            applicationName = "<YOUR_APP_NAME>",
            coralogixDomain = CoralogixDomain.EU1,
            publicKey = "<YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY>"
        )

        CoralogixRum.initialize(
            application = this,
            options = options
        )
    }
}

Note

See the Initialization section for the available regional domains and a detailed documentation of the available sdk options.

Installation

Add the dependency to your app’s Gradle build file:

dependencies {
    implementation "com.coralogix:android-sdk:2.22.0"
}

The SDK pulls in androidx.work transitively — you do not need to declare it yourself.

Apps using on-demand WorkManager initialization: the SDK uses WorkManager's default androidx.startup initializer. If your app removes that provider in favour of on-demand initialization, the backstop job described under Automatic flush on backgrounding is skipped. The immediate flush still runs, and nothing else is affected.

Troubleshooting

Core library desugaring on API 24 and 25

The SDK declares minSdk = 24 and depends on the OpenTelemetry Java SDK, which uses java.time APIs available natively only from API 26. On API 24 and 25 those need core library desugaring, so enable it if your app supports either level:

android {
    compileOptions {
        isCoreLibraryDesugaringEnabled = true
    }
}

dependencies {
    coreLibraryDesugaring("com.android.tools:desugar_jdk_libs:2.1.5")
}

The same switch helps any other dependency that needs Java 8+ APIs, within the subset desugar_jdk_libs backports - it is not blanket coverage, so a dependency using an API outside that subset can still fail on API 24 and 25.
