Yes, you are right. It could probably be helpful to others and I'd be happy to share - I'll see if I can create a component somehow over the weekend. I don't have the code with me right now, but I'll be back ;)
Basically I just have a default exception handler, which will catch all unhandled exceptions. I'll then batch them up and at a later time, I'll then submit the available traces to my server (and then of course also delete them on the phone, when they have been submitted). / Mads On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 12:40 PM, [email protected] < [email protected]> wrote: > > Mads, > > Thats exactly what we all need. > > How do you get unhandled exceptions or do you put try...catch in all > your code blocks? > > Do you submit stack traces individually or batch them up? > > Any chance of sharing some of the code? > > We really need a generic component for this - it will be a huge boost > for quality of the apps! > > Alex > > > > On Mar 5, 11:30 am, Mads Kristiansen <[email protected]> > wrote: > > I do this in my beta applications and it is incredibly valuable. > > > > I am not aware of any existing implementations, so I built it myself. > I'll > > store the stacktraces on the phone and upload them to a webserver, where > I > > have a PHP script which will store the stack trace to a plain text file > and > > also send me an email with the details. > > > > Some of the stack traces I collected would probably have taken me days to > > reproduce myself. > > > > / Mads > > > > On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 11:44 AM, [email protected] < > > > > [email protected]> wrote: > > > > > We all know what its like - everything works perfect on the dev's > > > phone, but once you roll something out, user's complain about the > > > dreaded force close!! > > > > > Sometimes its just on one or two phones, but wouldn't it be good if we > > > could get some kind of stack trace to see whats really going on? > > > > > Obviously we can't speak to our users in person or play with their > > > phones, so we need some way of getting error diagnostics off their > > > phone and onto the dev's computer. > > > > > I was thinking along the lines of apps having a generic exception > > > handler which could store the stack trace and then maybe upload to a > > > web server so that the dev can take a look - anyone achieved something > > > like this? > > > > > Maybe the SDK should (or already does?) support something like this - > > > I think it will benefit developers and users enormously!! > > > > > Alex > > > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
