How to get log information in android

Question

How to get log information to remote server while app running on device. Like how we get in log of java file using log4j?

Answer 1

There is a service developed just for it (our company just released it): http://apphance.com. It is not only for reporting crashes, but also for reporting logs of your application running on remote devices. It is a service, so you do not need to have a server of your own - you just integrate a .jar file (less than 5 minutes - we timed it). And you immediately start getting the logs which you can look at in the web panel of ours. These are:

• logs from standard logging
• changes in conditions of the device (rotation, wifi/gprs etc.)
• crashes
• memory warning
• your testers can also report issues directly from the device including screenshots (yay!)

@parag et al, Log Collector doesn't send the log (actually, open email chooser for you) in android 2.3.
