Re: [android-developers] Re: Debugging beta apps

[Kristopher Micinski]

You can typically choose whether they are asked permission.  This
frequently happens if you require the user to manually send the error
report via an intent to an email app.  The advantage of this is that
you're being up front about collecting information, and farming out to
another app potentially absolves you from any grief you'd get from
otherwise requiring the internet permission.

 Can users send back log files etc.

 I was thinking about using ASSERT.

 Is the java assert feature recommended or the Assert class.

 I noticed that the latter does not display a message on the screen.


 Help appreciated.

Well, I think the user might have to agree to report the error.


I think they have to click a button that says something like "Send Error 
Report".

Briefly: I used HockeyApp for reporting back capability, and was happy. I 
used ElusiveStars, a forum and TheBetaFamily to find testers, and got best 
results from ElusiveStars. 

A more detailed post is 
at https://groups.google.com/d/topic/android-developers/PrW2hFpZzpk/discussion.

I've read somewhere not all errors get reported there. Sorry, can't 
remember where I read that.

[android-developers] Re: Debugging beta apps

[Digipom]

A few recommendations from my experiences:

1) If you use Proguard, then keep a copy of your "proguard" folder for each 
release that you do. This will help you make sense of the market exceptions.

2) Use something like ACRA (https://github.com/ACRA/acra) to log all items 
of interest, including uncaught exceptions. This will give you a lot more 
detail than the market crash reports.

So for example, in your code you can do something like this:

void someMethod() {
   // Do something
   MyLogger.log(Something interesting...);
}

Here's an image illustrating the "Errors" link:

In the Google app Developer Control Panel, there's a link that says 
"Errors" sometimes.  Then you can see how your app crashed for different 
users.
