Instrument Android Applications

Before you can monitor your Android application, you need to build and instrument your application to enable the Android Agent to collect mobile metrics. The Android Agent supports monitoring for Android applications written in Java or any JVM-based language such as Kotlin.

After you have set up and accessed Mobile RUM, use one of the following ways to build and instrument your application:

• Instrument an Application with the Android Agent Installer - The Android Agent Installer is an Android Studio plugin that will configure the build and insert the instrumentation code for you.  
• Instrument an Android Application Manually - If you are unable to use the Android Studio plugin, follow these instructions to configure your build and instrument your application.

For further customization, see Customize the Android Build and Customize the Android Instrumentation.
