Check this: http://code.google.com/p/acra/ Just to clarify, there is no "automatic report getting sent" - the user has to send a report. As Marcin noted, this is very rare unless it's a major issue. And even when they do send reports, the user will give you little or no information and the report is nothing but a stack trace, so you are more often just staring at the computer scratching your head trying to figure out why Android couldn't find your main activity, for example. Besides that, the interface for the bug reports is so poorly conceived, trying to use and make sense of the damn thing is a debugging exercise in and of itself. Why the user comments are not clearly attached to the stack trace that it's for is beyond me. It was nice that they put it together and is better than nothing, but like many Google projects, it feels half-assed and provided in a "as is" / "good enough" state. Someone's 20% time project, probably. Do yourself a favor and implement your own solution and give users a clear way to report issues in the app itself. Your ratings will thank you. +1 for Acra, it's an awesome project. Moreover I've add my own logging that I can include with my bug reports so I can actually figure out what the hell is happening. At this point any reports that come in through the Market is immediately marked as "Old". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
