Android crash reporting library (pre Froyo) [duplicate]

Do you know any crash reporting library for Android?

I don't want to spend a lot of time to write my own reporting system.
The output can be send to the email or some kind of server.

I know that Google introduced crash reporting in Froyo, but I want something for older versions of the system.


Let's sum up the answers:

  • android-remote-stacktrace - sends raports to mail or php script
  • acra - sends reports to google docs
  • Android Error Reporter - sends reports via HTTP post request

What's a simple method that you can follow to detect crashes after an android app is released on Google Play?

You can use the stack trace available in the report details if you are using Play Console or the output of the logcat tool. If you don't have a stack trace available, you should locally reproduce the crash, either by manually testing the app or by reaching out to affected users, and reproduce it while using logcat.

This is what you are looking for: android-remote-stacktrace It sends an email / calls a php script when your application crashes and sends the logcat output. Quite simple to use and very useful!

You can also try out a service done by my company just for that purpose (and a bit more) http://apphance.com . It allows not only to get crashes, but also logs, screenshots whenever tester reports a problem. It reports it to the cloud and lets developer to browse through the sessions/logs/crashes/issue reports using a useful web panel.

It is more targeted for testing part, but soon there will also be a production-version available. It is also cross-platform - not only Android but also iOS and soon more.

Disclaimer: I am CTO of Polidea, company behind Apphance, co-creator of the app.
