Thank you for the input. I'm not familiar with the Android OS level
crashreporting, but I'd generally also say it would make sense to use any
capacities that Android already provides if that is sufficient, rather than
doing anything extra on LibreOffice side for Android.

I think the original request refers to having a similar capacity to what the
desktop version currently provides ([1] has some more information). That one
uses Breakpad and from a quick search, there is at least a README [2] for
Android that suggests that it might work there as well.

However, at least from the issues I have primarily seen on Android so far, they
used to be either quite well reproducible and/or issues on the Java side or out
of memory issues (like tdf#148851 or tdf#148854), for which I think (without
having looked into that any further) that Breakpad probably wouldn't really be
too useful either.
For potential occasional (i.e. not reliably reproducible) crashes in the C++
code, many of those might already be caught by the crashreporting for the
desktop version, since that one shares most of the code.

I can only speak of my own experience so far, though, so if there should be
good reason to still integrate it, it might be something to consider, which is
why I set this to NEEDINFO for now, so in case anybody sees the need and has
reasons for that, they can give more input here.
