Is that auto-instrumentation javaagent working in android?

[sdes5317]

Hello i have tried to use it for android, and manual instrumentation work well, but i can't find any auto-instrumentation javaagent used by android.
is that working for android or has any example to use it?

Android doesn't support standard javaagent implementations, so no, this can't exist. There is some quasi-"automatic" instrumentation possible (see https://github.com/signalfx/splunk-otel-android for an example of such from Splunk), but it's nothing like what you would get from the standard opentelemetry javaagent for standard JVMs.

Thank you for your response,the answer just as what I expected,since I'm not a professional java developer I was not sure about it,
I have spent lot of time still can't prove it

Hi, can you provide example of manual instrumentation. I recently started looking into open telemetry for android. I am currently looking into splunk-otel-android to get more insight. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Here are some links to examples:

• open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-docs
• opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/java/manual/

Thanks Jack. I am looking through those documents as well. I was trying to see if there was a basic example that i can tinker with
