Generate log file on app crash android

Question

I am working on a project which will not be published in google play. My client is running it on beta. They says it crashes sometimes, but I was never able to reproduce the scenarios.

So I just want to generate a LOG file when the app crashes. Is it possible to get such events?

i.e When the app forces to close I need to generate a log file with the last few actions ( logcat items) .

Install aLogcat application, from this you will get all application log — OMAK, May 28 '13 at 05:24

Following is the code which allows you to generate a log file from "logs".

try {
  Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("logcat -d");
  BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(
  new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));

  StringBuilder log=new StringBuilder();
  String line;
  while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
     log.append(line);
  }
} 
catch (IOException e) {
    //handle exception
}

Permission you need to take is

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_LOGS"/>

You can register UncaughtExceptionHandler for your application and log unexpected crashes to file.

Check this out, Global uncaught exception handler -> email log to me?
