I want to catch the uncaught exceptions and send reports about them to my server. This is how I implement it:
public final class MyApplication extends Application
{
private static Context context;
private static Handler mainHandler;
private static boolean isDebug;
@Override
public void onCreate()
{
Thread.currentThread().setUncaughtExceptionHandler(new UncaughtExceptionHandler()
{
@Override
public void uncaughtException(final Thread thread, final Throwable ex)
{
new Thread()
{
@Override
public void run()
{
Looper.prepare();
ReportUtils.sendReport(thread, ex);
Thread.currentThread().getUncaughtExceptionHandler().uncaughtException(thread, ex);
Looper.loop();
Looper.myLooper().quit();
}
}.start();
}
});
context = getApplicationContext();
mainHandler = new Handler();
isDebug = (0 != (getApplicationInfo().flags &= ApplicationInfo.FLAG_DEBUGGABLE));
}
@Override
public void onTerminate(){}
public static Context getAppContext()
{
return context;
}
public static boolean isDebugMode()
{
return isDebug;
}
public static Handler getMainHandler()
{
return mainHandler;
}
}
Is it the right way to implement it? Any other alternative?
Instead of doing this yourself, use a service already setup to do it.
Acra is one, and can upload your crash reports to a Google Docs spreadsheet.
Bugsense is another. It has free accounts and paid accounts.
Crashlytics is rather new to android but is completely free, so I recommend it. It's really simple to setup.
