Android crash report doesn't send data to google docs

Question

I'm trying to use the android crash report in my android project.

I have added the jar and I have code like this in my src directory.

import android.app.Application;
import org.acra.*;
import org.acra.annotation.*;

@ReportsCrashes(formKey = "0xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxS2JONHc")
public class CrashLog extends Application {

        @Override
        public void onCreate() {
            // The following line triggers the initialization of ACRA
            ACRA.init(this);
            super.onCreate();
        }

    }

My google spreadsheet url look like this:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxS2JONHc#gid=0

But when I run the app I get the following exception in my logcat:

where am I making the mistake? The key that I got from my url is the one to be given the formKey value right?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You must use the formkey of the added form and not of the spreadsheet. Please open your spreadsheet and than open the form at the menu. There will be a link at the end of the form with the key in it.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=YOUR_FORM_FORMKEY

Here are the BasicSetup instructions.

Please note Since the recent update of Google Forms by Google, the usage of Google Docs as a storage engine for ACRA reports is becoming deprecated.
