DropBoxManager

open class DropBoxManager

kotlin.Any
↳	android.os.DropBoxManager

Enqueues chunks of data (from various sources -- application crashes, kernel log records, etc.). The queue is size bounded and will drop old data if the enqueued data exceeds the maximum size. You can think of this as a persistent, system-wide, blob-oriented "logcat".

DropBoxManager entries are not sent anywhere directly, but other system services and debugging tools may scan and upload entries for processing.
Requires API level 8 (Android 2.2, Froyo)

Summary

Nested classes
open	`Entry` A single entry retrieved from the drop box.

Constants
static String	`ACTION_DROPBOX_ENTRY_ADDED` Broadcast Action: This is broadcast when a new entry is added in the dropbox.
static String	`EXTRA_TAG` Extra for `android.os.DropBoxManager#ACTION_DROPBOX_ENTRY_ADDED`: string containing the dropbox tag.
static String	`EXTRA_TIME` Extra for `android.os.DropBoxManager#ACTION_DROPBOX_ENTRY_ADDED`: long integer value containing time (in milliseconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC) when the entry was created.
static Int	`IS_EMPTY` Flag value: Entry's content was deleted to save space.
static Int	`IS_GZIPPED` Flag value: Content can be decompressed with `java.util.zip.GZIPOutputStream`.
static Int	`IS_TEXT` Flag value: Content is human-readable UTF-8 text (can be combined with IS_GZIPPED).

Protected constructors
`<init>()` Create a dummy instance for testing.

Public methods
open Boolean	`isTagEnabled(tag: String!)` Checks any blacklists (set in system settings) to see whether a certain tag is allowed.
open Unit	`addFile(tag: String!, file: File!, flags: Int)` Stores the contents of a file, which may be ignored or discarded as with `#addText`.
open Unit	`addData(tag: String!, data: ByteArray!, flags: Int)` Stores binary data, which may be ignored or discarded as with `#addText`.
open DropBoxManager.Entry?	`getNextEntry(tag: String, msec: Long)` Gets the next entry from the drop box after the specified time.
open Unit	`addText(tag: String!, data: String!)` Stores human-readable text.

Public methods

isTagEnabled

added in API level 8

open fun isTagEnabled(tag: String!): Boolean

Checks any blacklists (set in system settings) to see whether a certain tag is allowed. Entries with disabled tags will be dropped immediately, so you can save the work of actually constructing and sending the data.
Requires API level 8 (Android 2.2, Froyo)

Parameters
`tag`	String!: that would be used in `#addText` or `#addFile`

Return
Boolean: whether events with that tag would be accepted

addFile

added in API level 8

open fun addFile(tag: String!, file: File!, flags: Int): Unit

Stores the contents of a file, which may be ignored or discarded as with #addText.
Requires API level 8 (Android 2.2, Froyo)

Parameters
`tag`	String!: describing the type of entry being stored
`file`	String!: to read from
`flags`	String!: describing the data

Exceptions
`IOException`	if the file can't be opened

addData

added in API level 8

open fun addData(tag: String!, data: ByteArray!, flags: Int): Unit

Stores binary data, which may be ignored or discarded as with #addText.
Requires API level 8 (Android 2.2, Froyo)

Parameters
`tag`	String!: describing the type of entry being stored
`data`	String!: value to store
`flags`	String!: describing the data

getNextEntry

added in API level 8

open fun getNextEntry(tag: String, msec: Long): DropBoxManager.Entry?

Gets the next entry from the drop box after the specified time. Requires android.permission.READ_LOGS. You must always call Entry#close() on the return value!
Requires android.Manifest.permission#READ_LOGS and android.Manifest.permission#PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS
Requires API level 8 (Android 2.2, Froyo)

Parameters
`tag`	String: of entry to look for, null for all tags
`msec`	String: time of the last entry seen

Return
DropBoxManager.Entry?: the next entry, or null if there are no more entries

addText

added in API level 8

open fun addText(tag: String!, data: String!): Unit

Stores human-readable text. The data may be discarded eventually (or even immediately) if space is limited, or ignored entirely if the tag has been blocked (see #isTagEnabled).
Requires API level 8 (Android 2.2, Froyo)

Parameters
`tag`	String!: describing the type of entry being stored
`data`	String!: value to store
