Flurry Error Reporting for Android

Question

Is there anyone using Flurry to generate reports for uncaught exceptions that could post some sample code on how to do this?

I don't see any example via Flurry themselves, and though I've seen code samples of custom exception reporters, I haven't seen a simple example of how to implement the basic error reporting just using Flurry.

Thanks.

This is all good feedback. We're looking into adding full stack traces for error reporting which we'll hopefully see in our next major SDK release. We'll also look at filtering by device model.

In the meantime we've added a new REST API for exporting your error reports if you want to do your own analysis. If you need help using it you can just contact our support or message me.

Flurry does it automatically (if you have it running). However, the error reporting is lame. They only catch the message w/o giving you the stack trace, so you may end up seeing (for example) that people are getting lots of NullPointerExceptions, but you won't have any idea where, or how, they're happening. If you try to do it yourself with the FlurryAgent.onEvent() method you'll quickly discover that they limit you to 255 characters.

If you need detailed error reporting it really is better to roll your own right now.
