Global uncaught exception handler -> email log to me?

Question

Hi,

Is there any way to catch crashes in my own android app? Something like a global uncaught exception handler? Just wondering if I could install something like that, then if an uncaught exception is thrown, I could pop up a dialog for the user and ask if they want to mail a dump of the exception to me.

Thanks

See Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler().

You can also use Flurry, DroidDrop, or any of the other implementations of this already available.

Flurry does this, plus a lot of other useful things.
