Hi Kevin— My app already has a class that extends Application, which is defined in android:name in the Manifest. It seems that if I try to replace it with the ACRA-created class (I called it CrashReporter), the app crashes on first run, then runs fine after that.
If I make CrashReporter an inner class, I lose all the ACRA functionality. Any plans to make ACRA work for apps that already have a "main" Activity class defined? It's really the extends org.* bit that's throwing it off, since classes can only extend from one other class...
