ACRA is a library enabling Android applications to automatically post their crash reports to a report server. It is targeted to android applications developers to help them get data from their applications when they crash or behave erroneously. A crash reporting feature for android apps is native since Android 2.2 (FroYo) but only available through the official Android Market (and with limited data). ACRA is a great help for Android developers. ACRA's notification systems are clean. If a crash occurs, your application does not add user notifications over existing system's crash notifications or reporting features. By default, the "force close" dialog is not displayed anymore, to enable it set alsoReportToAndroidFramework to true. The user is notified of an error only once, and you might enhance the perceived quality of your application by defining your own texts in the notifications/dialogs.
Features
- Silent reports, Toast notification, status bar notification or dialog
- Usable with ALL versions of Android supported by the official support libraries
- More detailed crash reports about the device running the app than what is displayed in the Android Market developer console error reports
- You can add your own variables content or debug traces to the reports
- You can send error reports even if the application doesn't crash
- If there is no network coverage, reports are kept and sent on a later application restart
