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

Answer 1

This is very brute, but it is possible to run logcat anywhere, so a quick and dirty hack is to add to any catch block getRuntime().exec("logcat >> /sdcard/logcat.log");
