Adding Distibuted tracing to New Rleic for Android Classes send the correct trace data to New Rleic and a formated newrelic header to pass to other support New Relic Services. This dies require the developer to add the tracing to the code. The example I will use is with OKHttp but should work with all of the HTTP libraries.

• mobileApplicationID is found when a mobile app is created and the URL last set of numbers is the mobileApplicationID.

• accountId is found after a successful login on the URL as the first set of numbers.

• insights InsertId is generated in the insight user interface under manage API

• appname is the text name of the app. best practive is to name it the same at in the Mobile Monitoring UI

• startTrace(URL) is the URL to be used in the request. PII is important so all URL parameters are moved.

• addCustom(attribute_name, value) enables the user to add any extra data as it will display in the Distibuted trace UI

• StopTrace() will stop the trace and send the data to New Relic.

   OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
   NrDistributedTrace nrdt = new NrDistributedTrace("mobileApplicationID", "accountId","insightsInsertId",NewRelic.currentSessionId(),"appname");  // New Relic Distibuted tracing Code
   String nrHeader = nrdt.startTrace(URL);  // New Relic Distibuted tracing Code
   /* End Start DT */
   Request.Builder builder = new Request.Builder();
   builder.addHeader("newrelic", nrHeader);
   Log.i("dt", nrHeader);
   builder.url(URL);
   Request request = builder.build();
       try {
           Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
           nrdt.addCustom("responseStatus" , response.code());
           nrdt.addCustom("weather", "rainy");  // New Relic Distibuted tracing Code
           nrdt.stopTrace();  // New Relic Distibuted tracing Code
           return response.body().string();
        } catch (Exception e) {
           e.printStackTrace();   }
