This blog post explores how to integrate OpenTelemetry into an Android app for better observability and tracing. To start, the author sets up their development environment using Android Studio, an AWS account, and a Lumigo account, which is required for OpenTelemetry. They then create a simple Android app with a button that calls an external API powered by AWS, which they monitor and trace end-to-end using OpenTelemetry. The author also discusses the importance of community engagement and contribution to shaping the future of OpenTelemetry in its alpha phase. By following this guide, developers can improve their mobile app's performance and experience, as well as gain valuable insights into their application's behavior.
