Configure app launch times

With the Android agent, you can report app launch time, also known as "cold time" and "hot time."

Configure app launch time

To enable the Android agent to report app launch time, add the following to your application's AndroidManifest.xml:

<application>

    <!-- Make sure to provide unique authorities if applied to multiple apps on the same device -->
    <provider
    android:name="com.newrelic.agent.android.rum.contentprovider.NewRelicAppContentProvider"
    android:authorities="com.newrelic.android.agent.nrprovider.${applicationId}"
    android:initOrder="200"
    android:exported="false"/>
    
</application>

View app launch time

Your app launch time is reported with the metrics AppLaunch/Cold and AppLaunch/Hot. To track these launch time metrics:

1. Go to one.newrelic.com > All capabilities > Capabilities > Query builder.
2. Run a NRQL query, such as:

   SELECT average(newrelic.timeslice.value ) AS 'AppLaunch/Cold' FROM Metric WHERE metricTimesliceName = 'AppLaunch/Cold' AND entity.guid = 'YOUR_APP_TOKEN' SINCE 1664218800000 UNTIL 1664220600000 TIMESERIES

   Copy
3. Click Add to dashboard and either add it to an existing dashboard or create a new one.
