## Android

### Syntax [#syntax]

#### Java [#java]

```java
NewRelic.pauseReplay()
```

#### Kotlin [#kotlin]

```kotlin
NewRelic.pauseReplay()
```

### Requirements

-   Android agent v7.7.0 or higher.

    ### Description

    `newrelic.pauseReplay()` can be called to manually force a replay to pause recording.

    If a replay is not already in progress, this API method will have no effect.

    If the mobile session is still valid, you can resume a paused replay by calling the [`newrelic.recordReplay()`](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/mobile-monitoring/new-relic-mobile/mobile-sdk/record-replay) API method.

    ### Use Cases

-   You want to manually trigger a replay to stop recording on certain site pages or under certain conditions, such as a healthcare page, credit card info page, etc.

        NewRelic.pauseReplay();
      ...
        return true;
      default:
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
  }
  ...
}
```
