Emailing Reports using ACRA(ver 5.7.0) on Android not working

Question

Im trying to capture the crash logs and send it via mail using ACRA. But the mail is not received.

I have done the following :

1. Initialized ACRA inside the oncreate method of the main activity

ACRA.init(getApplication()); 

2. Specified the Report content

@AcraCore(reportContent = {
        ReportField.REPORT_ID,
        ReportField.USER_APP_START_DATE,
        ReportField.USER_CRASH_DATE,
        ReportField.APP_VERSION_CODE,
        ReportField.APP_VERSION_NAME,
        ReportField.ANDROID_VERSION,
        ReportField.DEVICE_ID,
        ReportField.BRAND,
        ReportField.BUILD,
        ReportField.DEVICE_FEATURES,
        ReportField.PACKAGE_NAME,
        ReportField.REPORT_ID,
        ReportField.STACK_TRACE,
        ReportField.APPLICATION_LOG,
        ReportField.LOGCAT,
        ReportField.USER_EMAIL
},
        reportFormat = JSON,
        reportSenderFactoryClasses = {MainActivity.ACRASenderFactory.class}

)

3. Acrareportsender class below

public class ACRAReportSender implements ReportSender {
    public ACRAReportSender(){
        Log.e("ACRA", "Report Sender created");
    }
    @Override

    public void send(Context context, CrashReportData crashReportData) throws ReportSenderException {
        Log.e("ACRA", "Before sending crash report");
        String reportBody = createCrashReport(crashReportData);
        Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        emailIntent.setType("vnd.android.cursor.dir/email");
        String mail[] = {"brajesh.poovakkad@gmail.com"};
        emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, mail);
        emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, reportBody);
        emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "ACRA Crash Report");
        context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send crash to developers by email ..."));
    }
    public String createCrashReport(CrashReportData crashReportData){
        StringBuilder body = new StringBuilder();
        body.append("Device : " + crashReportData.getString(ReportField.BRAND) + " - " + crashReportData.getString(ReportField.PHONE_MODEL))
                .append("\n")
                .append("Android Version : " + crashReportData.getString(ReportField.ANDROID_VERSION))
                .append("\n")
                .append("App Version : " + crashReportData.getString(ReportField.APP_VERSION_CODE))
                .append("\n")
                .append("STACK TRACE : \n" + crashReportData.getString(ReportField.STACK_TRACE));
        return body.toString();

    }
}

4. AcraSenderFactory Class

public class ACRASenderFactory implements ReportSenderFactory {
    public ACRASenderFactory(){
        Log.e("ACRA", "Creating Sender Factory");
    }

    @NonNull
    public ReportSender create(Context context, CoreConfiguration acraConfiguration) {
        Log.e("ACRA", "Returning Report Sender");
        return new ACRAReportSender();
    }
}

Output as verified from logcat ( provided below)

The above logs says

a. Acra is getting initialized
b. acra is catching crash
c. report is approved

Query:

  **1. Where am i going wrong. why is it not sending mail**
  2. Is this, **"Ignoring disabled ReportSenderFactory of type HttpSenderFactory"**, as seen from the logs, the reason for not receiving reports via mail? If yes, how this can be rectified ?

Answer 1

Your ReportSenderFactory cannot be an inner class. Either make it a toplevel class or declare it static. It also must not be abstract.
