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
