Report ANRs

When mobile apps become non-responsive and cannot respond to user input, Android devices display an Application Not Responding dialog box, or ANR, which forcefully terminates the non-responding app. The timeout is enforced by the system. You can view a report of ANRs when they occur in your mobile app. This monitoring feature helps you to identify common problem of ANR, such as application deadlocks and unexpectedly long-running or stalled HTTP requests.

Enable ANR reporting using the following startANRMonitoring(timeout, ignoreDebugger) method. For example:

Mint.startANRMonitoring(5000, true);

Then, when an ANR occurs, a normal handled exception is created containing an ANR parameter set to "true" in extraData. To find these occurrences, run a search in Splunk Web. For example:

sourcetype="mint:error" "extraData.ANR"=true

Inspect the stacktrace.0 field in the search results. This field contains a list of app threads and the corresponding stacks at the time the ANR occurred. Note that the "Caused by" line is used as a delimiter, and does not indicate the cause of the precedent exception.

Here is an example result:
