Overview

This section outlines the steps to install and configure the Pulse Labs FlightRecorder SDK for Android. FlightRecorder is compatible with both Java and Kotlin, and it integrates with JetPack Compose and XML Layout interfaces.

The default one line configuration automatically displays an introduction the first time a user launches your app and activates the SDK when the user shakes the device or takes a screenshot.

Important notes:

  • FlightRecorder SDK requires a minimum SDK version (minSdk) of 21 or higher.

  • If you use the androidx.compose packages (Jetpack Compose), and use androidx.compose.material3:material3, androidx.compose.material3:material3 version 1.1.1+ is required. We guide you through this in the next steps, however if you cannot update to 1.1.1

  • If your app is developed in Kotlin, FlightRecorder SDK requires the use of Kotlin version 1.8.0 or later.

  • FlightRecorder SDK will not initiate on devices running Android versions 7 or below. This is due to the screen recording approach used, which is not supported on these older versions of Android.

To discuss customization options or to request support for adapting the SDK to your specific needs, please contact our support team at flightrecorder@pulselabs.ai.
