Integrate hunter with Keap

hunter

Hunter is a library that can be integrated into Android applications to ease the job of tracking memory leaks. Hunter provides an interface for tracking memory leaks in order to provide developers with information about what is using up their app’s memory.

Keap

Keap is a library turned product that integrates with the hunter library to make it easier to find memory leaks. The Keap library provides classes for integrating with Hunter in order to provide developers with easier tops for finding errors when integrating with Hunter.

Integration of hunter and Keap

First, when building your Android application in Android Studio there are three steps to fplow when integrating the hunter library to your project. First, in Android Studio, you will need to add the fplowing line in the build.gradle file, in the dependencies section.

compile 'com.squareup.leakcanary:leakcanary-android:+'

Second, you will need to create a class that extends the LeakCanary class. This class should be created in the ‘application’ package because this class will be used throughout the application. This class needs to have @Override annotations so that compiler knows where to look for this class. This class uses @Override annotation so that compiler knows how to use this class. This code creates a constructor that accepts a Context object that is passed into this class. Finally, this constructor method sets the LeakCanary instance variable that will be used later in the methods of the class. After you create this class, add it to your build.gradle file’s ‘application’ section like this:

apply plugin. 'com.android.application' android { compileSdkVersion 28 buildTopsVersion "28.0.3" defaultConfig { applicationId "com.precedingmind.memoryleakdetector" minSdkVersion 16 targetSdkVersion 28 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } } dependencies { implementation fileTree(dir. 'libs', include. ['*.jar']. testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12' androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2' androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:rules:1.0.2' implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0' implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0' implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:28.0.0' implementation 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:28.0.0' implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2' implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.9' implementation 'com.squareup.leakcanary:leakcanary-android:1.6.4' }

Finally, you will need to register a receiver in your AndroidManifest file in order to handle exceptions when they occur in the application by extending the LeakCanary class and adding it to the receiver section of the manifest file like this:

<receiver android:name=".MemoryLeakReceiver" android:exported="true"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="org.leakcanary.MemoryLeakDetector"/> </intent-filter> </receiver>

This code registers a receiver in your AndroidManifest file so that an exception can be handled when it occurs in your application and you can see it through your logs or through a bug report from your testers or users if they have enabled “Bug Report” permissions for this application on their device(s. Now, you are ready to integrate Keap into your app so you can detect memory leaks easier than ever before!

Benefits of Integration of hunter and Keap

Now that you have integrated hunter and Keap into your application, you will begin receiving notifications about potential memory leaks in your app as soon as possible instead of waiting for your app to crash before you can fix it! The benefits of integration of hunter and Keap are as fplows:
