Android NetworkConnect Sample + New Relic Monitoring + AWS Device Farm

This sample demonstrates how to connect to the network and fetch raw HTML using HttpURLConnection. AsyncTask is used to perform the fetch on a background thread.

New Relic is also installed along with the AWS Device Farm for automated testing.

Pre-requisites

• Android SDK v23
• Android Build Tools v24.0.0 rc3
• Android Support Repository
• TravisCI account
• New Relic Account
• Amazon Web Services Account

Getting Started

This sample uses the Gradle build system. To build this project, use the "gradlew build" command or use "Import Project" in Android Studio.

AWS Device Farm Setup

The AWS Command-line interface (CLI) is required.

Create a new AWS Device Farm Project

sh $ aws devicefarm create-project --name NetworkConnect

Update the Android Gradle File

Set projectName to the name of the Device Farm project that was creating using the CLI.

// Merge this with existing build.gradle
buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.amazonaws:aws-devicefarm-gradle-plugin:1.0'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'devicefarm'

devicefarm {
    // The project must already exist!
    projectName "NetworkConnect"

    authentication {
        accessKey System.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
        secretKey System.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
    }

    appexplorer {}
}

There are two flavors

Build flavors are used to send test data to another New Relic application (and not pollute production data with testing):

    productFlavors {
        prod {
            buildConfigField "String", "NEWRELIC_TOKEN", "\"AA86306d05a11be432d9edc83985f86c8e1656bb38\""
        }
        zPref {
            buildConfigField "String", "NEWRELIC_TOKEN", "\"AA3bb1c6bf2fb0ed555cd7f7149dc9e83d7032343a\""
        }
    }

Run on DeviceFarm (Environment variables AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY must be set)

./gradlew devicefarmUpload
