Shake-to-feedback plugin for Android.

Inspired by Google Maps' Shake to feedback and based on Square's seismic.

Download

Download the latest .aar via Maven:

	<dependency>
	  <groupId>com.linkedin.shaky</groupId>
	  <artifactId>shaky</artifactId>
	  <version>1.0.3</version>
	</dependency>

or Gradle:

	compile 'com.linkedin.shaky:shaky:1.0.3'

Getting Started

Add the following to your AndroidManifest.xml application tag:

    <provider
        android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
        android:authorities="${applicationId}.fileprovider"
        android:exported="false"
        android:grantUriPermissions="true">
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
            android:resource="@xml/filepaths"/>
    </provider>

Create the corresponding res/xml/filepaths.xml resource:

<paths>
    <files-path name="files" path="."/>
</paths>

This allows files captured by Shaky to be shared with external apps. In this case, whatever app picks up the email Intent. Note: you only need these xml permissions to share files with external apps. For more information see FileProvider.

In your Application subclass:

    public class ShakyApplication extends Application {
        @Override
        public void onCreate() {
            super.onCreate();
            Shaky.with(this, new EmailShakeDelegate("[email protected]"));
        }
    }

For a complete example, see the demo app.

Advanced Usage

Your app can define custom behavior by subclassing ShakeDelegate and implementing the void submit(Activity, FeedbackResult) method (e.g. to send the data to a custom server endpoint).

In addition, you can implement the Bundle collectData() to collect extra app data including device logs, user data, etc. You will also need to handle how to send the extra data collected in your submit method.
