Re: [android-developers] Re: Crash dumps - Market vs Homegrown
Not sure about 2.x versions but I'm sure that my 1.6 does not support it. And there is till about 50% devices running 1.x versions.

That said, it does require the user to manually press the report and then send buttons after a crash. I imagine an automatic system that requires no work on the user's part would capture more stack traces. Like how Google My Maps are public by default, or how the Replica Island app sends data about where users die and the like by default unless a user explicitly turns it off in the settings.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Crash dumps - Market vs Homegrown
There is one other important benefit to homegrown solutions: they can provide more information than just the stack trace. Not all problems are crashes or ANRs, and even then, not all of them can be understood by looking at a stack trace. Building app-specific logs with relevant info on e.g. various state changes can only be done with custom solutions for now. -- Kostya 24.06.2010 18:51, MobDev пишет: afaik not ALL existing devices will get an update to Froyo, so yes I guess there is still use for ACRA !

RE: [android-developers] Re: Crash dumps - Market vs Homegrown
ACRA looks very useful and potentially more robust than my current method. However I notice that it uses a class (CrashReportingApplication) extended from android.app.Application. I already have a class in my app extended from android.app.Application so does that mean I cannot use ACRA or that I somehow have to combine my class with the ACRA one? Or can I have two classes extended from android.app.Application in my program?
