ANR-WatchDog is an Android library that detects Application Not Responding (ANR) errors by watching the UI thread and throwing a meaningful ANRError with all thread stack traces. It integrates with crash reporters like ACRA, Crashlytics, and Bugsnag so ANRs can be reported like any other crash.
Use cases
- detect android anr errors in my app
- report anr crashes to crashlytics or acra
- get stack traces when the ui thread hangs
- debug app not responding errors outside the play store
- monitor main thread responsiveness in production
- catch anr exceptions with a crash handler
When to choose
- you need to catch and report Android ANRs to your own crash reporting service
- your app is not distributed via the Play Store and you cannot access /data/anr/traces.txt
- you want detailed stack traces of all threads when the UI thread stalls
When to avoid
- you only need Play vitals ANR reporting and have no custom crash pipeline
- you need actively developed alternatives with newer Android API coverage
- your project is not an Android application
