RUM View name is not shown completely when the obfuscation is enabled (Proguard/R8 enabled)

[Maxwell6635]

Thanks for taking the time for reporting an issue!

Describe what happened View Name or Class Name is obfuscated in DataDog Rum View Dashboard.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Enable Proguard Rules
2. Upload mapping files with Datadog Plugins

Describe what you expected: View Name able to be de-obfuscated

Additional context

• Datadog SDK version: 1.12.0
• Datadog Gradle Plugins version: 1.4.0
• Versions of any other relevant dependencies (OkHttp, …): 4.9.0 OKhttp
• Proguard configuration: Enable Full Mode for R8
• Gradle Plugins: 7.2.0

Hi @Maxwell6635, the deobfuscation in Datadog is mostly performed on Errors' stacktraces. The name of a view, by default uses the View's canonical class name, but you have an option to rename it if you want to. When building the configuration of the SDK, you can use:

        val configBuilder = Configuration.Builder(
                logsEnabled = true,
                tracesEnabled = true,
                crashReportsEnabled = true,
                rumEnabled = true
        )
                .useViewTrackingStrategy(
                        ActivityViewTrackingStrategy(
                                trackExtras = true,
                                componentPredicate = object: ComponentPredicate<Activity> {
                                    override fun accept(component: Activity): Boolean {
                                        // Should we consider this activity as a RUM View?
                                        return true
                                    }

                                    override fun getViewName(component: Activity): String? {
                                        // What should be the name of the RUM View
                                        return component.title.toString()
                                    }
                                }
                        )
                )

@xgouchet Hi, if we upload the mapping via this plugins. https://github.com/DataDog/dd-sdk-android-gradle-plugin

So the deobfuscation on ViewName will it not works right?

[xgouchet]

Hi @Maxwell6635 , no the view name won't be deobfuscated, only the errors stacktraces will.

[Maxwell6635]

@xgouchet any plan to support this ?

[xgouchet]

For now this is not on our immediate roadmap but we might consider it eventually

@xgouchet Sorry to unearth an old thread, but do you know if this is on the roadmap?
