How to send custom logs to Google Play Developer Console?

Question

I had uploaded my android application to Google Play . My application is running fine. But on some devices, it have some issues. Whenever my application gets crashed Google Play Developer Console received that error. It's like:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.asdasd.dfgdfgdfgd/com.asdasd.dfgdfgdfgd.SplashScreenActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #19: Error inflating class android.widget.ImageView

With this kind of Log i can't find which android device producing that error & with what android OS.

Is there any way to send custom Logs to developer console on Application Crash?

Answer 1

No and the Android automatic error reporting is not worth using. The user comments are separated from the error and you get no indication of which device it came from.

Try out http://www.bugsense.com/ as it is much more comprehensive and free for low usage. You can add custom additions to your logs with this but only on the paid accounts.
