Answer 1

It can be done, with the help of the parent app that consumes the module.

• Set up Firebase on the parent using the normal steps.
• Add this to the build.gradle of the library module.

  implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.1'
  implementation 'com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.9.9'

• Create a class in the library module with this static variable. public static Crashlytics crash;
• In the parents Application class, assign Crashlytics.getInstance(); to that variable.
• The library module can call crash.core.logException(e); anywhere in the library and sent off to the Firebase console - but include a null check in case eg. library test methods are being called without a parent app.
• Other unhandled exceptions eg throw new RuntimeException("test"); in the library should also show up in the console.
