## What it is
The official BugSnag SDK for Android, written in Kotlin, that detects crashes and unhandled exceptions in Android apps and reports them with diagnostic context to the BugSnag service. It supports handled exception reporting, breadcrumb logging, user identification, and NDK crash capture.

## Use cases
- report unhandled exceptions and crashes from my android app
- track handled exceptions in android kotlin code
- capture native NDK crashes in an android application
- attach breadcrumbs and user info to android crash reports
- monitor android app errors and alert my team
- debug crashes in production android apps

## When to choose
- you build Android apps (Java/Kotlin or NDK) and want automated crash reporting with stack traces and user impact data
- your team already uses or wants the BugSnag dashboard with Slack, Jira, and PagerDuty integrations
- you need both unhandled crash capture and manual handled-exception reporting

## When to avoid
- you want a fully self-hosted, free error tracker without a BugSnag account or paid event limits
- you need error monitoring for non-Android platforms (use the platform-specific BugSnag notifier instead)
- you prefer open-source alternatives like Sentry's self-hosted server
