How do I obtain crash-data from my Android application?

Question

How can I get crash data (stack traces at least) from my Android application? At least when working on my own device being retrieved by cable, but ideally from any instance

Thanks resources present in Stackoverflow in helping me to find this answer.

You can find your remotely Android crash reports directly into your email. remmember you have to put your email inside CustomExceptionHandler class.

public static String sendErrorLogsTo = "tushar.pandey@virtualxcellence.com" ;

Steps required :

1st) in onCreate of your activity use this section of your code.

    if(!(Thread.getDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler() instanceof CustomExceptionHandler)) {
        Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(new CustomExceptionHandler(this));
    }   

2nd) use this overridden version of CustomExceptionHandler class of ( rrainn ), according to my phpscript.

package com.vxmobilecomm.activity;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.StringWriter;
import java.io.Writer;
import java.lang.Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.apache.http.message.BasicNameValuePair;

public class CustomExceptionHandler implements UncaughtExceptionHandler {

    private UncaughtExceptionHandler defaultUEH;
    public static String sendErrorLogsTo = "tushar.pandey@virtualxcellence.com" ;

    Activity activity;

    public CustomExceptionHandler(Activity activity) {
        this.defaultUEH = Thread.getDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler();
        this.activity = activity;
    }

    public void uncaughtException(Thread t, Throwable e) {

        final Writer result = new StringWriter();
        final PrintWriter printWriter = new PrintWriter(result);
        e.printStackTrace(printWriter);
        String stacktrace = result.toString();
        printWriter.close();
        String filename = "error" + System.nanoTime() + ".stacktrace";

        Log.e("Hi", "url != null");
        sendToServer(stacktrace, filename);

        StackTraceElement[] arr = e.getStackTrace();
        String report = e.toString() + "\n\n";
        report += "--------- Stack trace ---------\n\n";
        for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
            report += "    " + arr[i].toString() + "\n";
        }
        report += "-------------------------------\n\n";

        report += "--------- Cause ---------\n\n";
        Throwable cause = e.getCause();
        if (cause != null) {
            report += cause.toString() + "\n\n";
            arr = cause.getStackTrace();
            for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
                report += "    " + arr[i].toString() + "\n";
            }
        }
