ACRA.init(this) fails #88

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. After installing acra, just add the line ACRA.init(this) as instructed. The 
application will fail showing a black screen.
2. Add a try/catch with RuntimeException to catch when ACRA crashes

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
This was a already running application. 
After I follow the instructions and installed ACRA, everytime I try to run the 
application I see only a black screen.
If I add a try/catch exception my application runs.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
API 8. HTS Hero 2.1

Please provide any additional information below.
Code I try to see if was ACRA which was failing:

        try{
            ACRA.init(this); // The following line triggers the initialization of ACRA  
        }catch(RuntimeException e){
            android.util.Log.e(TAG, "ACRA init crashes: " + e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

The more I analyze the issue I think the problem is the ErrorReporter class. 
Something is failing there that is failing ACRA.

I managed to fix the problem! Or at least seems like I did:

By doing this, ACRA seems to not crash anymore:

ErrorReporter.getInstance().init(this);
ACRA.init(this);

There should be a method added to ACRA which allow the developer to test ACRA 
and see if it does send information to the doc sheet, etc.
