Firebase Crashlytics is not showing my errors

Question

I have tried to get Crashlytics to work but even though I followed all steps I still do not seem to get any errors visible in Crashlytics.

Can you please have a look?

This is the code i use to start a crash:

Crashlytics.getInstance().crash(); // Force a crash

My App Gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

    buildTypes {
        release {

            lintOptions {
                disable 'MissingTranslation'

        }

Answer 1

Try enabling the debug mode like in the documentation here.

1) Add these lines to the Manifest

<meta-data
android:name="firebase_crashlytics_collection_enabled"
android:value="false" />

2) When initializing Crashlytics, enable debug mode.

final Fabric fabric = new Fabric.Builder(this)
    .kits(new Crashlytics())
    .debuggable(true)  // Enables Crashlytics debugger
    .build();
Fabric.with(fabric);    

Answer 2

At times Firebase Crashlytics, takes time to register Crashes. Wait for a while and if you have followed the correct steps, I'm sure the crash will appear in a while.

EDIT:

Follow the following steps:

1. Add Crashlytics repositories and dependency to your project-level build.gradle file.

   maven {
      url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public'
   }
   
   dependencies {
   // ...
   classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.25.4'
   }
   
   allprojects {
       repositories {
   
     maven {
      url 'https://maven.google.com/'
         }
       }
   }
   

Also, Check Crashlytics requires Google Services plugin version 3.1.2 or higher. Check the com.google.gms:google-services version number in your project's build.gradle dependencies.

2.) Add the Crashlytics dependencies to your app-level build.gradle:

    apply plugin: 'io.fabric'
    dependencies {
    // ...
    implementation 'com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.9.5'
    }

Keep this as your Force Crash Button:

    Button crashButton = new Button(this);
    crashButton.setText("Crash!");
    crashButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View view) {
    Crashlytics.getInstance().crash(); // Force a crash
}
});

   addContentView(crashButton, new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
    ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
    ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
