Thanks Mark. Yea, the actual sending of the data is not a problem for me. The catching of the exception is a different matter. There are several thread entries involved in this operation.
I was really hoping there was something built-in, as Google had mentioned in the past. The early dev phones actually had an "Exception Browser" where a user could at least go back and see visually see what had happened, so I assume they have this at least partially implemented. Thanks again for the help. -kelvin On Jan 5, 4:45 am, Mark Murphy <mmur...@commonsware.com> wrote: > kelvin wrote: > > Is there a built-in or easy scheme to have users report exceptions to > > a developer?
