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

Just Started to use ACRA https://github.com/ACRA/acra using Google Forms as backend and it's very easy to setup & use, it's the default.

BUT Sending reports to Google Forms are going to be deprecated (then removed): https://plus.google.com/118444843928759726538/posts/GTTgsrEQdN6 https://github.com/ACRA/acra/wiki/Notice-on-Google-Form-Spreadsheet-usage

Anyway it's possible to define your own sender https://github.com/ACRA/acra/wiki/AdvancedUsage#wiki-Implementing_your_own_sender you can give a try to email sender for example.

With minimum effort it's possible to send reports to bugsense: http://www.bugsense.com/docs/android#acra

NB The bugsense free account is limited to 500 report/month
