Android Pluto

Pluto is an on-device debugging framework for Android applications, which helps in the inspection of HTTP requests/responses, captures Crashes, and ANRs, and manipulates application data on the go.

It comes with a UI to monitor and share the information, as well as APIs to access and use that information in your application.

🖇  Integrate Pluto in your application

Add Gradle Dependencies

Pluto is distributed through mavenCentral. To use it, you need to add the following Gradle dependency to your build.gradle file of your app module.

Note: add both the pluto and the pluto-no-op variant to isolate Pluto from release builds.

dependencies {
  ....
  debugImplementation 'com.plutolib:pluto:2.1.2'
  releaseImplementation 'com.plutolib:pluto-no-op:2.1.2'
  ....
}

Initialize Pluto

Now to start using Pluto, initialize Pluto SDK from you application class by passing context to it.

Pluto.Installer(this)
  .addPlugin(....)
  .install()

Install plugins

Unlike version 1.x.x, Pluto now allows developers to add debuggers as plugin bundle or individual plugins based on their need.

Plugin bundle comes with all the basic plugins bundled together as single dependency.

dependencies {
  ....
  debugImplementation 'com.plutolib.plugins:bundle-core:2.1.2'
  releaseImplementation 'com.plutolib.plugins:bundle-core-no-op:2.1.2'
  ....
}

But, if you want to use individual plugins, here is the list of some plugins provided by us

• Network Plugin
• Exceptions & Crashes Plugin
• Logger Plugin
• Shared Preferences Plugin
• Rooms Database Plugin
• Datastore Preferences Plugin
• Layout Inspector Plugin

We will be adding more to the list. So please stay tuned.
Please refer to their respective README for integration steps.

You can also help us expand the Pluto ecosystem now.
Pluto now allows to develop custom debuggers as plugin. Read Develop Custom Plugins.

🎉  You are all set!

Now re-build and run your app, you will receive a notification from Pluto, use it to access Pluto UI.
