noticeNetworkFailure (Android SDK API)

Syntax

NewRelic.noticeNetworkFailure(string $url, string $httpMethod, long $startTime, long $endTime, exception $exception OR enum $networkFailure)

Records network failures.

Requirements

Compatible with all agent versions.

Description

The New Relic Android SDK API provides several methods to track network requests. If a network request fails, you can record details about the failure with noticeNetworkFailure. In most cases, place this call inside exception handlers, such as catch blocks.

For general info on using the New Relic Android SDK API, see the usage guide.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`NewRelic.noticeNetworkFailure(string $url, string $httpMethod, long $startTime, long $endTime, exception $exception OR $networkFailure)`
`$url` string	Required. The URL of the request.
`$httpMethod` string	Required. The HTTP method used, such as GET or POST.
`$startTime` long	Required. The start time of the request in milliseconds since the epoch.
`$endTime` long	Required. The end time of the request in milliseconds since the epoch.
`$exception` string	Either this or `$failure` parameter is required. This is the exception that occurred. New Relic can automatically translate many common exceptions into network failure types.
`$failure` enum	Either this or `$exception` parameter is required. The type of network failure that occurred. If an exception cannot be resolved to a network failure automatically, this method can be used to categorize the failure accurately. The values are defined by the `NetworkFailure` enum. Valid values include `Unknown`, `BadURL`, `TimedOut`, `CannotConnectToHost`, `DNSLookupFailed`, `BadServerResponse`, and `SecureConnectionFailed`.

Examples

Record network failure

Here’s an example of an error listener that uses an error as part of the noticed network failure to New Relic:

new Response.ErrorListener() {
                            @Override
                            public void onErrorResponse(Error error) {
                                NewRelic.noticeNetworkFailure(badUrl, "GET", System.nanoTime(), System.nanoTime(), NetworkFailure.exceptionToNetworkFailure(error));
                            }
