Android (Kotlin) with AllStak
Capture crashes, errors, ANRs, and performance from your Android app with the AllStak Android SDK.

Installation
Add the Gradle dependency (optional OkHttp and Timber modules).
dependencies {
implementation("sa.allstak:allstak-android:0.2.0")
// optional:
implementation("sa.allstak:allstak-android-okhttp:0.2.0")
implementation("sa.allstak:allstak-android-timber:0.2.0")
}Configuration
Initialize explicitly in Application, or use zero-code manifest meta-data (androidx.startup auto-init).
AllStak.init(this) {
apiKey = "ask_live_xxx"
environment = "production"
release = "1.4.0+42"
}Basic example
Zero-code alternative — add meta-data to AndroidManifest.xml.
<application>
<meta-data android:name="sa.allstak.android.API_KEY" android:value="ask_live_xxx" />
<meta-data android:name="sa.allstak.android.ENVIRONMENT" android:value="production" />
</application>Capturing errors
Crashes are captured automatically (enableUncaughtExceptionHandler). Capture handled errors manually.
AllStak.captureException(e, metadata = mapOf("orderId" to "ORD-123"))
AllStak.captureMessage("Checkout started", level = "info")Tracking requests
Use the allstak-android-okhttp module to instrument OkHttp — installAllStak() on the builder, AllStakOkHttp.client(), or AllStakOkHttp.instrument(existingClient). It injects trace headers (traceparent, x-allstak-trace-id).
val client = OkHttpClient.Builder()
.installAllStak()
.build()Best practices
- Use manifest meta-data or AllStak.init in Application.
- Add the OkHttp module to trace network calls.
- release auto-detects from versionName+versionCode if omitted.
