Why is BugSense missing exceptions?

Question

My app has an occasional bug in it. Flurry shows me this:

class java.lang.RuntimeException
Msg: Unable to resume activity {com.blag.myapp/com.blah.myapp.activity.MyActivity}:
java.lang.NullPointerException

But with no line number or stack trace it's hard to know the cause. The activity makes a call to BugSenseHandler.setup() in onCreate() and it usually works, but sometimes BugSense fails to report a fatal exception.

Am I doing something wrong, or is BugSense unreliable?

Answer 1

That is strange (BugSense co-founder here). We've never had any problems reported. Maybe Dalvik is killing everything?

Is your app a widget?

Answer 2

i have tried bugsense it only gives you log when force close dialog occurs in application ,and when some error occurs but it is handled by try catch then bugsense does not give log

Answer 3

You mean that your app has crashed? or keep running?

I think that Flurry shows many Error Exceptions that do not crash the app or just handled, Flurry's reports have too less information, so you cannot really understand what is going on.
