To add PostHog analytics to an Android app, initialize the SDK in Application.onCreate() using PostHogAndroidConfig and PostHogAndroid.setup, then configure event tracking and user identification. This wires up analytics directly into your Kotlin or Java project.

Yes, PostHog error tracking and session replay work in Android by enabling them during SDK initialization. Configuring PostHogAndroidConfig allows you to automatically monitor errors and capture screen view analytics for your application.

The best way to configure PostHog API keys in Android is by using environment-based variables. You should avoid hardcoding keys directly in your source code to maintain security and follow safe configuration practices.

Yes, PostHog Android integration supports both Kotlin and Java projects. The implementation requires initialization in Application.onCreate() and follows standard Android setup patterns to wire up event tracking and user identification.

To identify users with PostHog in an Android application, call the identify method when a user logs in. This ties user actions to their profiles, allowing you to capture meaningful events and understand user flows.

Initializing PostHog in Application.onCreate() ensures the analytics SDK is configured before any activities run, enabling automatic error tracking and screen view capture throughout your Android app's lifecycle.
