[android-developers] Re: Crash dumps - Market vs Homegrown

Hi Paul,

I'm one of the ACRA devs. If your application class extends
android.app.Application directly, all you have to do is to make it
extend org.acra.CrashReportingApplication instead and add ACRA's
overrides to your code.

If you extend another third-party Application subclass, there would be
some more work to do which is not documented yet. I'll add a detailed
how-to in the project wiki about that someday.

About the android market reports... It came to be activated on my N1
2.1-u1... until I upgraded to FroYo where I did not see it activated
for the moment. The status of that feature is quite blurry in my
opinion.

Regards,

Kevin
