How to start activity from UncaughtExceptionHandler if this is main thread crashed?
My goal is to display some error messages when my Android program crashes.
I have an uncaught exception handler registered in my program's application (MyApplication) onCreate:
Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(new HelloUncaughtExceptionHandler());
And when an exception is caught, I'd like to start a new activity for the user to save/submit bugs. This is what I am currently doing:
class HelloUncaughtExceptionHandler implements UncaughtExceptionHandler {
@Override
public void uncaughtException(Thread thread, Throwable e) {
final Writer result = new StringWriter();
final PrintWriter printWriter = new PrintWriter(result);
e.printStackTrace(printWriter);
String stacktrace = result.toString();
printWriter.close();
Intent intent = new Intent(MyApplication.this,
BugReportActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("stacktrace", stacktrace);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
I am getting a blank screen without BugReportActivity showing up (if I start it from an activity it works fine). The "MyApplication.this" worries me... is there really no way to launch an arbitrary activity from my application?
Thanks all.
