Android: Logging or exception stack trace on real device

When testing on real Android devices, I run my application from within Eclipse and have access to the logs and errors using DDMS and LogCat.

However, there is one device I own that I cannot connect to my PC, and therefore I cannot view on DDMS.

When this application loads, it throws an Exception. However, I have no idea what this Exception is. How can I view such errors or logs on a real device?

To answer your question more generally, you can include BugSense, whenever your application crashes on your clients' devices, it will automatically send the crash report to you, including useful info like stacktrace, Android OS version, screen dimensions, device name, etc...

I didn't realize how buggy my applications really are in the field until I started using it.

There is a bunch of logcat reader apps - like CatLog or aLogcat, capable of viewing logs, filtering or saving them to the external storage. Just search the Market for "logcat".

Install a logcat viewer such as aLogCat. It provides various ways for you to view, save or share the log output.
