Set up Session Replay

Record and replay real Android sessions to see what your users did. Covers the 12.0 minimum SDK version and the footprint Session Replay adds.

If you're already using Luciq, but Session Replay isn't included in your current plan, please reach out to us at [email protected], We would love to enable a custom trial for you and help you set it up.

Min Required SDK Version

Session Replay is supported starting Android SDK version 12.0.

Session Replay Footprint

We're taking several measures to make sure Luciq Session Replay is resource-friendly. To minimize its impact on the device's battery and data consumption:

• The SDK collects your performance data and sends it in batches, at most, once every 6 hours.
• The SDK doesn't perform any network operations while the app is in the background.

  • This means data collected is sent to the server at the beginning of a session if the last server communication took place more than 6 hours ago.

Enabling/Disabling Session Replay

Luciq's Session Replay can be disabled with the following method. This will completely prevent any session replay data from being sent to your dashboard. By default, Session Replay is enabled if it is available in your subscription plan.

Kotlin

SessionReplay.setEnabled(true) //Enabled
SessionReplay.setEnabled(false) //Disabled

Java

SessionReplay.setEnabled(true); //Enabled
SessionReplay.setEnabled(false); //Disabled

Logs

All logs are enabled by default, but can be manually disabled/enabled using the below APIs.

Network

Kotlin

SessionReplay.setNetworkLogsEnabled(true) // Enabled
SessionReplay.setNetworkLogsEnabled(false) // Disabled

Java

SessionReplay.setNetworkLogsEnabled(true); // Enabled
SessionReplay.setNetworkLogsEnabled(false); // Disabled

Luciq Logs

Kotlin

SessionReplay.setLuciqLogsEnabled(true) // Enabled
SessionReplay.setLuciqLogsEnabled(false) // Disabled

Java

SessionReplay.setLuciqLogsEnabled(true); // Enabled
SessionReplay.setLuciqLogsEnabled(false); // Disabled

User Steps

Kotlin

SessionReplay.setUserStepsEnabled(true) //Enabled
SessionReplay.setUserStepsEnabled(false) //Disabled

Java

SessionReplay.setUserStepsEnabled(true); //Enabled
SessionReplay.setUserStepsEnabled(false); //Disabled

Screenshots

Screenshots are enabled by default; however, you can change the level of masking using the Auto Masking feature.

Kotlin

val reproConfig = ReproConfigurations.Builder()
        .setIssueMode(IssueType.SessionReplay, {ReproMode})
        .build()
// For Screenshots replace {ReproMode} with ReproMode.EnableWithScreenshots
// For metadata only replace {ReproMode} with ReproMode.EnableWithNoScreenshots
// For disabling screenshots & metadata replace {ReproMode} with ReproMode.Disable

// Setting config on Builder
Luciq.Builder(this, {Application_token})
        .setReproConfigurations(reproConfig)
        .build()

// Setting config RT
Luciq.setReproConfigurations(reproConfig)

Java

ReproConfigurations reproConfig = new ReproConfigurations.Builder()
         .setIssueMode(IssueType.SessionReplay, {ReproMode})
         .build();
// For Screenshots replace {ReproMode} with ReproMode.EnableWithScreenshots
// For metadata only replace {ReproMode} with ReproMode.EnableWithNoScreenshots
// For disabling screenshots & metadata replace {ReproMode} with ReproMode.Disable

// Setting config on Builder
new Luciq.Builder(this, {Application_token})
         .setReproConfigurations(reproConfig)
         .build();

// Setting config RT
Luciq.setReproConfigurations(reproConfig);
