Research direction

The issue names no source file, test, or entry point. First determine whether the Java SDK supports Android after ApplicationInsights-Android was deprecated, then identify the supported way to provide the connection string without environment variables or adjacent JSON configuration. Done means documenting a verified Android setup path or clearly stating that it is unsupported.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

How can this be used in Android applications now that ApplicationInsights-Android has been deprecated?
Specifically configuring the connection string is a bit non-Android. On Android you don't typically set environment variables, or put Json config files next to your appinsights jar file as there are no jar files in the end.
