[android-developers] Re: Debugging beta apps
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.

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

[android-developers] Re: Debugging beta apps
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.

[android-developers] Re: Debugging beta apps
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...);
}

Is the java assert feature recommended or the Assert class.

Help appreciated.

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.
