Android Debug Mode

Debug Mode

DebugMode enables you to see the event data logged by your app in near real-time. This is very useful for validation purposes during the instrumentation phase of development and can help you discover errors and mistakes in your Analytics implementation and confirm that all events and user properties are logged correctly.

📘

Note

Use debug mode only with test devices or developer accounts

In DebugMode events are logged every 10 seconds and are stored in offline mode up to 1 hour.

Additionally, in DebugMode you will get all the logging printed in Logcat.

To enable DebugMode run the following command in CLI (no app recompilation is required):

adb shell setprop debug.com.reteno.debug.view enable

To disable DebugMode run the following command in CLI:

adb shell setprop debug.com.reteno.debug.view disable

In order to run the commands make sure to install [ADB](Android Debug Bridge (adb)  |  Android Developers)

To view events from your app in debug mode specify X-Reteno-Debug:true in the request’s headers.

Then go to settings -> Mob Push -> and click Debug next to the app name.

Troubleshooting Steps:

  • The notification service is not configured: Configure FCM.
  • Push tokens/device data are absent: Check that you have allowed notifications on the device and configured the token transfer. Details >
  • The Delivered message statuses are absent: Check your message delivery data settings. Details >
  • The Clicked message statuses are absent: Click the notification, or check click tracking in the code. Details >
