Print the stack trace of an exception

Question

How do I print the stack trace of an exception to a stream other than stderr? One way I found is to use getStackTrace() and print the entire list to the stream.

Answer 1

For the android dev minimalists: Log.getStackTraceString(exception)

Answer 2

See javadoc

out = some stream ...
try
{
}
catch ( Exception cause )
{
      cause . printStrackTrace ( new PrintStream ( out ) ) ;
}

Answer 3

The Throwable class provides two methods named printStackTrace, one that accepts a PrintWriter and one that takes in a PrintStream, that outputs the stack trace to the given stream. Consider using one of these.
