Custom name interactions

Important

If you're using a hybrid mobile agent (React Native, .NET Maui, etc.), refer to the platform-specific methods below.

Syntax

Java

NewRelic.setInteractionName(string $interactionName)

Kotlin

NewRelic.setInteractionName(name: String?)

Description

Set a new name for an interaction that is already being tracked by New Relic.

Use setInteractionName() to change the name of an interaction in an instrumented app.

For example, you have an interaction that is being reported under a single activity name, like FragmentActivity, or under an obfuscated name, like baseclass.a, and you want to rename the interaction to be more descriptive,. You could use setInteractionName at the beginning of each onCreate() method to change the name.

To create a new interaction, see startInteraction().

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

Parameters

Parameter

Type

Description

$interactionName

string

Required. The name you want to give to the interaction.

Example

This example uses NewRelic.setInteractionName() at the beginning of the onCreate() method as part of the Activity class:

Java

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
//Rename the in-flight interaction
NewRelic.setInteractionName("Display MyCustomInteraction");
}
// ... continue methods ...
}

Kotlin

NewRelic.setInteractionName("Display MyCustomInteraction")

Syntax

Objective-c

- (NSString*) customNewRelicInteractionName;

Swift

@objc func customNewRelicInteractionName() -> String

Description

Sets the name to rename default interaction names reported to New Relic.

If you implement this method in your UIViewController, New Relic will call this method before starting an interaction (from -viewDidLoad or -viewDidAppear) and rename the interaction with the string returned (instead of the default name of display <ViewControllerName>).

Parameters
