is it possible to replace the default “Force Close” dialog in Android?

Question

I would like the users of my android app to have the option to email me the stacktrace of any uncaught exception that crashes my app. Originally I thought I would just wrap every entry point to my app in a try/catch block, but there are far too many of these even in my tiny app for this to be reasonable.

So what I am really looking for is a way to specify some method to be the default handler for any uncaught exceptions. Any suggestions?

You cannot do what the subject line states from an SDK application.

Use Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler() .

Also, consider using Flurry or DroidDrop or something for the actual delivery of your exception data.

Answer 2

You could also use Bugsense.com to get your exception data (it's free).
