A new ACRA version is coming and is now at the Release Candidate stage after 2 weeks of Beta:
http://code.google.com/p/acra/downloads/detail?name=acra-4.3.0RC.zip
It is planned to be promoted stable on the 8th of September.
ACRA is a free, simple, flexible and open source library enabling you apps to send crash reports to a GoogleDoc spreadsheet or other custom backends (inhouse developments or third parties like Bugsense and HockeyApp) with extensive contextual data about the device and the context of the crash.
According to an analysis by Appbrain, ACRA is the 12th most used Android Dev Tool library.
After more than a year since ACRA 4.2.3, here are the main new features:
- cleaned, more stable code base, reducing reports duplicates (William Ferguson)
- new experimental and long awaited direct dialog interaction mode, without notifications (thanks to Julia Segal)
- full runtime configuration API, required for projects using Android Library Projects since ADT14, and very handy for developers in need of dynamic ACRA configuration.
- addition of a collector for a custom log file
- addition of a collector for the details of the broken thread (id, name, groupname)
- addition of a collector for the new MediaCodecList provided in the Jelly Bean API
A more detailed description of the changes has been introduced in this Google+ post. Follow ACRA on Google+ for the latest news and tips.
The new code base has already been tested and deployed in production apps for more than a year. The beta version has been downloaded 247 times (not including maven downloads) with a single valid issue reported in 2 weeks. Please help us ensure that this new version is rock solid, give it a try and report issues!
If you already use ACRA, be aware that the default list of ReportFields has changed, so you must either create a new Spreadsheet and Form from the template provided in the archive or set the customReportContent configuration item with the fields you use.
