Thanks in advance.
Built-in? No. Easy? Depends on how you define it. First, you need to catch the exception, if you aren't doing so already. Next, you need to send the exception data to you. Some possibilities: -- Write some simple Web service and use one of the HTTP APIs -- Send an email through the user's email application (e.g., http://androidguys.com/?p=3100) -- Nab some third-party JAR and send the data using some other transport (e.g., email without user intervention, XMPP) -- Send an SMS You could try integrating something like log4j that already handles these sorts of error deliveries, but I worry about too many dependencies that you may have difficulty resolving. If the OpenIntents team doesn't already have one, a common component for doing this sort of error reporting would definitely be a slick addition to Android developers' arsenals. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android Training on the Ranch! -- Mar 16-20, 2009 http://www.bignerdranch.com/schedule.shtml --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
