Flurry Error Reporting for Android

Question

Is there anyone using Flurry to generate reports for uncaught exceptions that could post some sample code on how to do this?

I don't see any example via Flurry themselves, and though I've seen code samples of custom exception reporters, I haven't seen a simple example of how to implement the basic error reporting just using Flurry.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I'm not using it for uncaught exceptions , but you can catch it and then send it to flurry.

Answer 2

Flurry does it automatically (if you have it running). However, the error reporting is lame. They only catch the message w/o giving you the stack trace, so you may end up seeing (for example) that people are getting lots of NullPointerExceptions, but you won't have any idea where, or how, they're happening. If you try to do it yourself with the FlurryAgent.onEvent() method you'll quickly discover that they limit you to 255 characters.

If you need detailed error reporting it really is better to roll your own right now.

Answer 3

I wasn't going to post this initially, but since it sounds like Flurry's error reporting sucks, you should check android-remote-stacktrace. It sends the stack trace to a url, which you can use to redirect it to an e-mail or just gather it on the server.
