How to control the switch of ANR collection online

[iamskullking]

What feature would you like to see?

sdk in my project: com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics:18.2.4

our needs: We want to control whether we want to collect ANR events, But we didn't find that there is such a function in the sdk, We would like to know if there are some configurations or methods that can support our needs now?

what we found: The sdk will obtain a configuration file from the Internet. Is it possible to modify this file?

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

@argzdev Hi, I would like to ask if there is a way to do it now

Hi @iamskullking, thanks for filing. There's currently no way to control collection for ANR events. You can only enable/disable Crashlytics as a whole by disabling automatic reporting and sending data when you choose to in your code. Here's the link to our documentations.

I've marked this as a feature request, so our engineers can take a look when they have the time. I can't promise any timeline for this. If others find this feature useful, adding an emoji thumbs up on the post can help our engineers prioritize adding this to the roadmap.

@argzdev ok, thanks a lot for your help :)

@iamskullking, sure, no problem! :)

@iamskullking To help us evaluate this feature request, can you elaborate on why you'd like to enable/disable ANRs? That is, what is the benefit of turning off ANR collection? Follow up question: Does it matter if it can be turned on/off at runtime vs build time?
