Android Developer Console Stacktrace

Question

I have an App available in the Android Market. From time to time i get error reports in the Developer Console. For about 6 month there have been no more stack-traces visible. At first I though no more post-froyo bugs: 'yay'! Recently I did some testing using a droid 2 which I am sure is not pre-froyo, I ran into an error, reported it, and never received this report in the Console.

Did I miss some configuration or option that enables me to receive stacktraces? Is there something I can do about it?

Answer 1

I have no idea why you don't receive stack traces anymore nor how could you enable them. I have always felt Android Market is a somewhat unreliable service: reports are not accurate, downloads/active counts randomly change at times, crash reports not received, and so on.

However, I have suggestions how to implement similar functionality yourself and with a more reliable fashion: How do I obtain crash-data from my Android application?

Basically there are two options:

1. Use an existing component (like acra )
2. DIY by catching all uncaught exceptions.

(So you would have an option should you fail to receive a real solution)

Answer 2

I'd suggest you to stop listening to android market and work with other tools.

You should consider using a crash report tool like http://www.bugsense.com/ which is simple effective and meaningful
