 "title": "Diagnose a crash, ANR, or memory spike on a device",
 "page_title": "How to diagnose a crash, ANR, or memory spike on a device with DSH Android",
 "summary": "Pull logs, process stacks, and a memory summary for one app to find the cause of a failure.",
 "who": "An Android developer investigating a crash, an application not responding error, or high memory use reported during testing.",
 "problem": "Finding the failing process, its stacks, and its memory split usually means running several adb commands and reading raw output.",
 "outcome": "The developer gets the app's logs, its memory breakdown, and a stack dump or the crash buffer, all in one conversation.",
 "steps": [
  "Call android_processes with a filter set to the app name to get the pid.",
  "Call android_logs with mode follow, a duration_seconds value, and bundle_id set to the package name, to capture live output while the bug happens.",
  "Call android_backtrace with the pid or bundle_id to dump stacks and read the ANR trace, or the crash buffer if the trace is refused.",
  "Call android_meminfo with bundle_id to read total PSS and the Java, native, and graphics split.",
  "Read the reported engine in the backtrace result, which states which source answered and what it cannot see."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the dsh-android plugin, call android_processes with filter <app name>, then android_backtrace with bundle_id <package name>, and android_meminfo with bundle_id <package name>. Expected output: the stack or crash-buffer result with the engine named, plus the memory summary. Verify the backtrace result states which engine answered before drawing a conclusion.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "90 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Most non-rooted devices refuse the ANR trace directory, so the backtrace tool may fall back to the crash buffer only.",

 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "A DeepSeek Harness (DSH) host, tested by the author with DSH 0.1.5-rc.1",
  "adb available on the machine so the plugin can resolve it",
  "A running Android emulator or a USB-connected Android phone",
  "For builds: a Gradle project that has ./gradlew"
