fastlane screengrab and snapshot - android

I'm using fastlane tools (https://fastlane.tools) for automating all screenshots for my iOS and Android apps. The tool works very well and I'm happy with it. The problem i'm having is that when I have mixpanel events and other analytics running on the app the app will run those events during screenshots. Is there a way to "detect" in code that it's a screenshot event with simulators?
Basically, I want some sort of if statement but not sure how to tell its from fastlane. I have thoroughly read through the documentation and wasn't able to find anything for this, any help is appreciated!

My current solution involves simply checking if the user is running on a simulator or is running in debug mode. In which case, it doesn't perform the code I want to filter out.

Can we edit maxDepth in Firebase robotest. If yes, how?

I am trying to automate the "UI testing" for my android application by using firebase testlab. I have saved a script in android studio but want to limit the robot for any further monkey testing. All it does is after my sctipts runs successfully, it starts doing monkey testing, which is of no use to me.
I read it online it can be controlled using "maxDepth" but couldn't find anything more. Would appreciate if someone could help me implement this.
maxDepth was only supported by Robo v1. It has been deprecated and has not had any effect on Robo tests for a long time. The standard way to limit the length of a Robo test now is to use the timeout flag/option.
A possible(?) alternative would be to have your Robo script exit your app when it is done, but I have never tried that and am not sure how it would work.

Simple Android Debug tool

I'm not a developer, so i apologize if I don't phrase the question effectively.
I'm looking for a tool that will help show me what code is being executed as I step through the program. i am not looking to much more than take look under the hood as I test new features & uncover bugs for the new Android app my company is making.
Are there any specific emulators or tools that I could use for this simplistic purpose?
Thanks!
Android Studio has a built-in debugger. See here
There are many ways for to make a debug inside Android Studio.
1-Debug using Logs
2-With logs lines and see on Logcat tool
3-With Breakpoints
and others.

How to get the Android logs remotely?

Because Google told me to, I've been using Log.I , Log.E etc commands throughout my code during development.
This of course has been quite helpful during testing and debugging.
However an application that I have deployed seems to be crashing sometimes, something which I cannot replicate.
Is there a way to retrieve the logs created through the aforementioned commands from the device? I've been through the whole google development site, but there seems to be nothing on the subject (or I am missing something)
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide
Try to look at ACRA and Crashlytics, this tools should help you.

Android Cordova 5.0+ Camera crash

We are using Cordova 5.0.0 and its cordova-camera-plugin
When we are testing it on Android, the app crashes when the user takes a photo.
Looking at the links below, it seems that our app is being killed while the camera app it on front.
PhoneGap camera restarts the application
https://github.com/shaithana/cordova-plugin-wezka-nativecamera
While there are some answers but it seems to be outdated: The foreground camera plugin is not suitable to newer devices or Cordova and other solutions didn't work for us
Does anyone have an up-to-date solution?
Try to use this forked cordova-android and cordova-plugin-camera.
The docs, sample and discussion on the approach used can be found in the cordova-android PR.
BTW, the PRs are going to be merged soon.
First question that comes to my mind is: Why using this camera plugin: https://github.com/shaithana/cordova-plugin-wezka-nativecamera
It's obviously a fork. You might have a good reason for that. It's also outdated. Last contribution was one year ago.
Maybe you want to give the "official" plugin a shot:
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera
Going deeper into detail without knowing more about your testing environment (which device(s) with which Android version) and without having possibility to review entire related code, is not possible and answers may not give any reliable advice for change.
Have you ensured, that the call to the camera plugin cannot happen before "deviceready" was triggered? Is cordova.js loaded?
Update:
You may also want to switch from raw alerts to console output. I recognized several times that alerts in callbacks triggered from plugins could cause some trouble.
As a general rule of thumb: Use console.log() instead of alert() and connect with Chrome (chrome://inspect) to the emulator or device to see what happens. You can additionally use adb logcat to have a look into the device log.

Bug reporting tool / library for developing applications

Is there a way to report Bugs, similar to the Android Feedback Client, but without registering my application at the market. I'm still working on the application and some users are alpha testing it so it would be useful to receive reports/ stacktraces etc. Is there a common way or an application for that?
You can look at ACRA Project - http://acra.googlecode.com/
You can use Instabug which lets you report bugs right from the app by shaking the phone. It sends you all the device details, network logs, view hierarchy inspection, as well as the steps to reproduce it. It takes a line of code to integrate.
For full disclosure. I work at Instabug.
I've used acra and it works well: http://acra.googlecode.com/
see: How do I obtain crash-data from my Android application?
I have used Android Remote Stacktrace before, it was very easy to setup, but when I set it up I don't think it had as many options as A.C.R.A does - I haven't used either in a while so I'm not sure which is better.
