Android Crashlytics not logging non-fatals

Question

I'm logging crashlytics errors in fabric. It works for crashes, and auto-generated non-fatals. But when I try to manually log non-fatals, it doesnt show at all. What can be the problem? (Yes, I have re-opened the app after the logging).

The logging methods I have tried:

Crashlytics.log(message);

Crashlytics.getInstance().core.logException(exception); //Caught exception

Crashlytics.logException(exception); //Caught exception

Crashlytics.logException(new Throwable(message));

None of them show up in my fabric dashboard...

I instantiate Fabric with this and its logging crashes, so I don't think that's the problem.

Fabric.with(this, new Crashlytics());

Crashlytics.logException(exception) should do it. Usually there is a limit to number of non fatals that it records. Is none of them showing? For any individual app session, only the most recent 8 logged exceptions are stored. docs.fabric.io/android/crashlytics/caught-exceptions.html – Crat

None are logged. Absolutely none. Not one. We have 70k daily users, so its definitively not working. – Hurtle

I see. And as you've shown in the question, you've tried forcing a non-fatal crash. And I assume your filter is of last 90 days? Which version of the SDK are you using? – Crat

Forced crash: Yes Filter: Yes SDK version: classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.22.1' – Hurtle

I have set to 1.23.0 and it works fine. Try updating it and maybe make sure you have ext.enableCrashlytics = true. Or atleast not set to false in build.gradle. Else open a bug report to them probably. – Crat

Thanks for the help. Will try the changes you prepose. :) – Hurtle

BTW: How do you instantiate Crashlytics in your app? – Hurtle

Mike from Fabric here. Can you share your app's package name? – Enter

Hey Mike! Its 'com.norwegian.travelassistant', could you contact me on mail: travelassistantATnorwegian.com ? – Hurtle

@MikeBonnell Did you check it? – Hurtle

Sorry, I missed your ping back! I'll follow up over email. – Enter

I dont know why, but it suddenly worked. Thanks to @MikeBonnell for reaching out to help. :) – Hurtle

@Hurtle can you please share how you are able to see the logs in your Crashlytics dashboard ? – Crinite

@Crinite I did not do anything specific, it just worked after some time. – Hurtle

Answer 1

Try this, it's working code from my projects.

try {
    //your codes                    
} catch (Exception ex) {
    ex.printStackTrace();
    Crashlytics.log("log something");//Optional
    Crashlytics.setString("message", message);//Optional
    Crashlytics.logException(ex);

}

As said in the question, this is what I have tried. Dont know why its failing, but cant see any instances of non-fatals at all. – Hurtle

@Hurtle did you tried using .log() or .setString() before Crashlytics.logException(ex); – Swain

Answer 2

In Crashlytics BETA in firebase console 'Crashes only' events displayed by default. If you want view non-fatal events you must select 'All events' or 'Non-fatals only'.

Maybe it can help in Fabric console.

P.S. I don't worked with fabric without firebase.
