Prevent ACRA from sending duplicate exception

I'm using ACRA, to sending crash reports to my server. But for two reason, I don't want to send duplicate exceptions to server:

  1. It's boring and make it hard to read and handle exceptions in panel.
  2. My server bandwidth is limited.

So is there any option to enable/disable sending duplicate exceptions?

Duplicate exceptions means duplicate exceptions in specific device. For example if there is a button in my application that cause of a error, I don't want to send occurred error each time user push that button.(If application version increased, it should be sent).

Solution

  • There is no way to do this OOTB.

    To do so would mean that you would need to build a database of crashes on your device and check to see if that error had occurred previously.

    ACRA is designed to be lightweight and robust. Added that kind of functionality into it would diminish both of those design criteria.

    I suggess you consider using a commercial cloud instance for your crash reporting instead of relying on your own server. A good crash server will aggregate crash instances for you. Which let's you focus on the high volume ones.
