Disable Firebase Crash Reports

Question

I decided to include Firebase Crash API 9.0.1 in my Android app. At the moment, everything is working fine. Now I want to give my users the ability to disable that Firebase automatically sends crash reports.

Firebase Analytics can be disabled using this code snippet.

FirebaseAnalytics.getInstance(this).setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(false); 

Do any of you know a similar way to disable crash reports?

Thank you very much

Answer 1

Yes, now it is possible. Check this, disable crash report

Just add the line below to your code in the first step or even better in the Application class.

 FirebaseCrash.setCrashCollectionEnabled(false); 

To turn on,

 FirebaseCrash.setCrashCollectionEnabled(true); 

This is really useful when we have several types of builds such as Debug, Release, etc.

Answer 2

Sorry for the short answer, but there is currently no official support for this.

EDIT: 10/30/2017

Now you can enable / disable during the build by adding to AndroidManifest.xml :

 <meta-data android:name="firebase_crash_collection_enabled" android:value="false" /> 

or runtime using:

 FirebaseCrash.enableCrash(true|false);

Disable the Google Analytics Collection on Android

Temporarily disable a collection

If you want to temporarily disable the Google Analytics collection, for example, to obtain end-user consent before collecting data, you can set the firebase_analytics_collection_enabled value to false in the AndroidManifest.xml application in the application tag. For instance:

 <meta-data android:name="firebase_analytics_collection_enabled" android:value="false" /> 

To enable collection again, for example, after obtaining end-user consent, call the setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled () method of the FirebaseAnalytics class. For instance:

 setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(true); 

If you need to suspend the collection again for any reason, you can call

 setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(false); 

and collection is paused until you re-enable it.

Permanently deactivate collection

If you need to deactivate the Google Analytics collection permanently in the version of your application, set firebase_analytics_collection_deactivated to true in the AndroidManifest.xml application in the application tag. For instance:

 <meta-data android:name="firebase_analytics_collection_deactivated" android:value="true" />
