twitter fabric - Disable "Answers" but not "Crashlytics"

Question

When installing "Crashlytics" in my Android App, it automatically installs "Answers". I only want to install "Crashlytics" and want to have "Answers" disabled. Does anyone know how to do that?

build.gradle

dependencies {
compile('com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.5.5@aar') {
    transitive = true;
}

Thanks!

Mike from Fabric and Crashlytics here.

As you saw, Crashlytics by default includes Answers. If you don't want Answers enabled on your app, then you want to invoke CrashlyticsCore() when building your app instead of Crashlytics.

For example, have these as your imports:

import com.crashlytics.android.Crashlytics;
import com.crashlytics.android.core.CrashlyticsCore;
import io.fabric.sdk.android.Fabric;

Then when you initialize Fabric, use:

Fabric.with(this, new CrashlyticsCore());

and that will initialize only the crash reporting side of things.
