I have decided to include the Firebase Crash API 9.0.1 into my Android app. At the moment everything is working fine. Now I want to give my users the opportunity to disable, that Firebase is sending the Crash reports automatically.
Firebase Analytics can be disabled with this code snippet
FirebaseAnalytics.getInstance(this).setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(false); Does anyone of you know a similar way to disable crash reporting?
Many thanks
Sorry for short answer but currently there is no official support for this.
EDIT: 30/10/2017
Now it is possible to enable/disable at build time adding in the AndroidManifest.xml:
<meta-data android:name="firebase_crash_collection_enabled" android:value="false" /> or runtime using:
FirebaseCrash.enableCrash(true|false); More info here.
Yes it is possible now. Check this, Disable Crash Reporting
Simply add the below line to your code in the first activity or even better in the Application class.
FirebaseCrash.setCrashCollectionEnabled(false); To enable,
FirebaseCrash.setCrashCollectionEnabled(true); This is really helpful when we have multiple build types such as Debug, Release etc.
You can find the instructions on the page: https://firebase.google.com/support/guides/disable-analytics
Disable Analytics collection on Android
Temporarily disable collection
If you wish to temporarily disable Analytics collection, such as to get end-user consent before collecting data, you can set the value of firebase_analytics_collection_enabled to false in your app's AndroidManifest.xml in the application tag. For example:
<meta-data android:name="firebase_analytics_collection_enabled" android:value="false" /> To re-enable collection, such as after an end-user provides consent, call the setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled() method of the FirebaseAnalytics class. For example:
setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(true); If you need to suspend collection again for any reason, you can call
setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(false); and collection is suspended until you re-enable it.
Permanently deactivate collection
If you need to deactivate Analytics collection permanently in a version of your app, set firebase_analytics_collection_deactivated to true in your app's AndroidManifest.xml in the application tag. For example:
<meta-data android:name="firebase_analytics_collection_deactivated" android:value="true" />
