What is the most common way to handle an exception, after it was thrown. I don’t mean what to do to come back from the exception, not close the Activity or whatever. What i mean is how to let the developer know of the error number, the StackTrace and other log files that got created from the exception?
What is the most common way to send these to the developer? Or is it not common to do so?
Do you ask the user to send an email, which contains this information? Do you implement a form of some kind, similar to the ones used on websites on the contact page, and send the information automatically?
How do developers approach this issue? I’d really like to get some feedback from the users, so i know where, and if, my app crashes, but i’m not sure where exactly to start.
There are a number of tools which can catch exceptions and submit them to you (the developer). For example, look at ACRA and HockeyApp. Both of these are considerably more flexible than the built-in support which submits stacktraces to your Google Play developer account.
