Watchdog
Newtron Watchdog allows the critical applications you develop for Android to keep running even after an application crash.
How to Use
Step 1
Install 'Newtron Watchdog' from the Google Play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newtronlabs.watchdogapp) on your device.
Step 2
Include the below dependencies in your build.gradle project.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven { url "https://newtronlabs.jfrog.io/artifactory/libs-release-local"
metadataSources {
artifact()
}
}
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.2'
classpath 'com.newtronlabs.android:plugin:4.0.5'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven { url "https://newtronlabs.jfrog.io/artifactory/libs-release-local"
metadataSources {
artifact()
}
}
}
}
subprojects {
apply plugin: 'com.newtronlabs.android'
}In the build.gradle for your app.
dependencies {
compileOnly 'com.newtronlabs.watchdog:watchdog:2.0.0'
}Step 3
At runtime, register your application with Newtron Watchdog
Intent restartIntent = new Intent(this, SampleActivity.class);
IWatchdog client = WatchdogFactory.getInstance()
.getClientBuilder(restartIntent)
.setRegistrationListener(this)
.build();
client.register(this);Upon registration your listener will be notified with a ResultCode, use this code to recommend users solutions like for exmaple in the case where Newtron Watchdog is not installed in their device.
@Override
public void onRegistrationComplete(@WatchdogResult.ResultCode int resultCode)
{
Log.d("WatchDog", "Registration Result: "+ resultCode);
if(resultCode == WatchdogResult.WATCHDOG_REGISTRATION_OK)
{
Log.d("WatchDog", "Registration Successful");
}
else if(resultCode == WatchdogResult.WATCHDOG_NOT_INSTALLED)
{
Log.d("WatchDog", "Watchdog not installed on device."
+ "Download 'Newtron Watchdog' from App Store");
}
else if(resultCode == WatchdogResult.WATCHDOG_UNREGISTERED)
{
Log.d("WatchDog", "Unregistered Successfully");
}
else if(resultCode == WatchdogResult.WATCHDOG_VERSION_MISMATCH)
{
Log.d("WatchDog", "Version mismatch."
+ "Ensure you have the latest version of Watchdog and Libraries");
}
else if(resultCode == WatchdogResult.WATCHDOG_FAILED)
{
Log.d("WatchDog", "Unrecoverable Failure.");
}
