Question

I have a very vague questions to ask about a crashing android application.

Users are reporting to me that my application is crashing when they get something correct.

Basically it words like this: user answers the question correctly –> Display Toast–> send message to my service –> update screen from information received from the service

I have tested this on my G1 and have never see this on the emulator even with different screen sizes and resolutions. I tried putting try catch blocks around all my screen updating code but they are still reporting errors.

My guess is that the service might be terminating or something. But that is just a guess. Any ideas?

I am trying to get more information from the users but the Android Market commenting system is lacking in this respect.

Your description is quite vague.. but are you considering screen orientation changes that would have occurred prior to your screen update?

Anyway, for general debugging, you might try:

• Remotely log unhandled exceptions in
  your Android applications.
• How do I obtain crash-data from my
  Android application?
• How to improve your application : a crash
  reporter to improve stability !
