Unearthed

A library for Android that notifies you when your app was restored after a process death.

Should you still save your instance state in a world of phones with 12GB of RAM? Maybe! Since knowing is better than guessing, Unearthed lets you track how often your app is sent to the background, dies, and gets restored. It's up to you what to do with that information, but why not log an event to your analytics?

Usage

Wherever convenient, add a listener to Unearthed and get notified of restoration after process death.

Unearthed.onProcessRestored { graveyard ->
  val timesRestored = graveyard.gravestones.size
  Log.d("MainActivity", "App has been restored $timesRestored times.")
  trackProcessDeathToAnalytics()
}
