Is there any library out there that allows me to receive logs from the app via email?
A:
I shouldn't think you'd need a library, there's been a massive oversight if you can't just do that with an intent. Though you will need to request access to their email account for that on install.

This, IMO, is not a good option. Firing an intent would require the user to then see the email and then send it rather than automatically sending the email in the background.

I was thinking more as a quick solution for personal testing where that wouldn't be a problem. For any release, I definitely agree, and would go with EboMike's suggestion.

As a user, I would feel uncomfortable about an app quietly sending out an email to somebody, especially when it is log data that could potentially contain information I don't want sent out.

LogCollector's source code is freely available and does just that. http://code.google.com/p/android-log-collector/

I've used log collector in one of my applications and it worked well. I decided to remove it and just let Google take care of the reporting for me though.

Yeah, the automatic reports are awesome. Especially in Froyo, when you even get call stacks in places where the app hangs.

I think we've had this sort of discussion before; take a look at this thread
