I am using Crashlytics in my application and I wanted to get user id and email along with each crash. I did something like this:
Crashlytics.setUserEmail(tokenModel.getEmail());
Crashlytics.setUserIdentifier(String.valueOf(tokenModel.getPk()));
I am doing this in my login screen, after the user has provided his email and successfully registered with the app, so as to get user id. The problem is, I am not getting these data in the crash reports.
What is the lifecycle and working of Crashlytics in above context? Do I need to set these fields every time the app opens?
I am not sure if it needs to be done every time you launch the app and the Crashlytics docs don't explicitly say it neither.
I know that we do it with every launch and it works - provided user info is displayed properly in the dashboard.
My suggestion would be to try send this information every time you initalize Crashlytics with Fabric.with(this, new Crashlytics());, as soon as you have your user data provided (for example after fetching his user profile from your server).
