Get Better Debug Data with Crash Report SDK

Developing an application is a hard and often times ungratifying task. It also requires quite a lot of time and even more focus. No matter how good the application is, it will always contain some bugs that need to be squashed sooner or later. Developers can’t detect all the bugs on their own, so they are forced rely on user support requests. The majority of users don’t send crash reports though, so it’s really hard for developers to track down what’s wrong with their applications.

Luckily, there are some solutions that make a developer’s life a bit easier. One of them is a tool written by XDA Forum Member crashlog. The Crash Report SDK will send debug data using one of available network connections. This SDK can be added to the application source and initialized by adding proper code triggers. Submitted reports are available at the crashlog’s website, giving developers access to proper debug data. It’s a quick and relatively easy way of getting information required to fix your app’s remaining bugs.

Before adding this library to your project, it’s strongly recommended that you let your users know about this SDK. Apps that are built using this SDK require Internet access in order to work properly, and that’s might be something that many people may find suspicious. Better be safe than sorry.

Don’t wait; use this SDK in your projects if you’re trying to get better bug reports. You can find the required information and relevant code in the Crash Report SDK for Android developers Library thread.
