How to capture the cause of an exception from a throwable?

Question

I have the following code to track uncaught exceptions using google analytics:

ExceptionReporter myHandler =
            new ExceptionReporter(AnalyticsTrackers.getInstance().get(AnalyticsTrackers.Target.APP),
                    Thread.getDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(), this);

    ExceptionParser ep = new ExceptionParser() {
        @Override
        public String getDescription(String s, Throwable throwable) {
            return "UserID:" + userID + " Version:" + versionName + " Exception:" + stringifyStacktrace(null, throwable);
        }
    };

private String stringifyStacktrace (Exception e, Throwable t){
    if(e != null) {
        StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
        e.printStackTrace(new PrintWriter(sw));
        return sw.toString();
    } else {
        return t.toString() + Arrays.toString(t.getStackTrace());
    }
}

The problem is I am getting only the following:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{in.jiyofit.basic_app/in.jiyofit.basic_app.WorkoutActivity}: java.lang.ArithmeticException: divide by zero
                                                                    at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2450)

I want the rest of the stacktrace that gives the line cause for the exception. I am not getting the following part of the stacktrace:

                                                                    at in.jiyofit.basic_app.WorkoutActivity.onCreate(WorkoutActivity.java:79)

How to get this also?

Try out the static method getStackTraceString() from the Log class
