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

If you want answers immediately you can use logcat

$adb shell logcat -f /sdcard/logoutput.txt *:E

If there's too much junk in your log right now, try clearing it first.

$adb shell logcat -c

Then try running your app then logcat again.
