How to send Crashlytics log

Question

I am using Crashlytics (now known as Fabric) in my app.

It works well when the app crashes. I can find the issue on the dashboard.

I am trying to use the logging. Something like:

Crashlytics.log(Log.WARN,MYTAG,"Error message");

I am not able to send this log in the dashboard. I have just tried to add something like:

Crashlytics.logException(new RuntimeException("Fake exception"));

but it doesn't send the log.

Can Crashlytics send the log?

Answer 1

You are sending the Log properly. But see what Official doc says Logging Caught Exceptions

All logged exceptions will appear as "non-fatal" issues in the Crashlytics dashboard.

To reduce your users' network traffic, Crashlytics batches logged exceptions together and sends them the next time the app launches. If you don't see logged exceptions in your Crashlytics web dashboard, try restarting your app!

Answer 2

In Android, send a custom crash by using

Crashlytics.logException(new RuntimeException("Fake exception"));

Then restart your application

In Crashlytics, select the Non-Fatals

Answer 3

On newer versions of Crashlytics, you need to use these functions:

FirebaseCrashlytics.getInstance().log("Your message goes here")
FirebaseCrashlytics.getInstance().recordException(RuntimeException("Your message goes here"))

Edit:
As @Peter mentioned in the comments, using log alone will not work and you have to use recordException function to bundle your log message along with the exception
