Android Question Debug crash / error in service

[Shay]

Hi

I have apk_debug that I sent to someone (not using the google play)
and after he install it and play with it, he complains that service is saying that it is not reponding
and not giving any error - so probably is crashed, and since it is service it is not giving any additional data.

I cannot replicate his issue, how can I get info once this happen on his device?
basically I need to get the error / crash

maybe you can write logs into a text file from the service module, and ask your friend send you the file after a crash

Thanks !!
how do I get the crash/error log into file?
(how do I say if got crash / error write it to file)

I don't know if this is the cause of this error however you shouldn't send a debug APK. You should compile it in release mode before trying to run it without the IDE.

You can use LogCat object from the Phone library to save the logs.

here you go http://www.b4x.com/android/help/phone.html#logcat
use a TextWriter to save the logs

is there a working code that someone can post, since I see this is to trivial to write
(I saw this thread http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/logcat-in-phone-library.11592/ but it is not helping too much)
