I really like to use flurry for analytics, however crash reports provided by the flurry are pretty ugly and short. So i decided to use crittercism for crash reports. And now these libraries takes 0.5 mb of my 1.4 app so it's pretty sad for me ;(

Wondering if someone can advise me all in one tool (analitics + crash reports), desirable with a feaututre of specifying the time to send the data(analytics + crash reports).

Also it would be great if the tool can work with my server(i.e. send data on my private server, not 3-rd party) Thanks!

Answer 1

Flurry will soon release an SDK version having Full Stack Trace crash reporting. (Disclaimer: I work in the Support team at Flurry)

Answer 2

Google Play has a build in feature to create crash reports, and app statistics. If the size of the lib / not 3-rd party are your reasons for not being happy with flurry, why dont you use these features?

You can find them on the Google play developers webpage..

Answer 3

There are plenty of ways to do crash reporting other than flurry or google play reporting.

1. Acra is a library enabling Android Application to automatically post their crash reports to a GoogleDoc form. It is targetted to android applications developers to help them get data from their applications when they crash or behave erroneously. See BasicSetup for a step-by-step installation and usage guide.

2. HockeyApp provides reliable crash reporting for both beta and released apps. ITs similiar to flurry, but the crash reporting is much much prettier.

Overall these are both pretty damn good and I would recommend either one.

If you want a smaller filesize apk, have a look adding ProGuard to your build routine. The ProGuard tool shrinks, optimizes, and obfuscates your code by removing unused code and renaming classes, fields, and methods with semantically obscure names. The result is a smaller sized .apk file that is more difficult to reverse engineer.
