[android-developers] Re: How to capture system warnings in application ?

[chcat]

OK. Asynchronous notification, like exception handler in application
code to receive that warning from OS.
Note that I implemented MediaRecorder.OnError and MediaRecorder.OnInfo
handlers in my app. Neither seems to catch anything useful.

Thank you so much for this insight. I don't think this SDK has any
future in the first place. In any case I would not want to work with
it in the future.

And developers who would rather not scrub potentially identifiable
data from a private log file all over the world thank you for giving
up so succinctly.

Cheers, don't let the door hit you on the way out!

The warning in the logcat just indicate that the app / system decided to log
something for that case. It does not imply that there is an exception or
other mechanism being generated to accompany the log.

So, no, probably no way to "capture" this stuff. At least AFAICT given the
information at hand.

There are ways to read the logs - check the developer docs.  However a 
manifest permission will be required; personal user information may well be 
in the logs.

Also don't count on being able to do that in the future.  Note that even
though there is a permission, there is not actually a public API to read the
logs, so any attempt to do so requires the use of private APIs that may not
be supported in the future.  Also since there have been continual issues
with device and apps leaking significant data in to the logs, it may make
sense to simply prevent access to this permission to protect users.
