Native Android exceptions on Xamarin

Hi there, We are developing an Android app on Xamarin. The .NET exceptions are caught and reported by Raygun, but not the native Java ones. We have it setup like this:

Mindscape.Raygun4Net.RaygunClient.Attach("...");

Is it possible to mix the .NET client and the native android one? Or is there a way to catch the Java exceptions and report them through the .NET client?

Hi Tom,

The Xamarin.Android provider does not currently support native exception reporting. We do have plans to add this in a future version. For now, I believe the only option is to create a native android binding to use our native Android provider in your Xamarin .NET app. I have added you to my list of contacts to notify you when this capability is built in to the Raygun4Net.Xamarin.Android provider.

Thanks Jason. Let's say we used the native Android Raygun using Xamarin Java bindings. Would this collide with the .NET client, or can both coexist in the same Xamarin app?

Hi tom,

They should both be able to coexist in the same application, I know that one of our other customers has done this and got it working. They did it by writing a native java exception handler, and using the android provider in there to send the exceptions. If absolutely necessary, you could use your own modified version of the Android provider: https://github.com/MindscapeHQ/raygun4android or let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Andy,

No sorry, binding the native Android provider into the managed Xamarin.Android provider is not currently scheduled for the near term. These providers are open source though, so you could have a go at binding them together and submitting a PR if you wanted to.
