SendLog

SendLog is a diagnostic tool. It will send the log file and a process list from your phone to an email.

This is useful to send to the developer of an application in case it crashes or otherwise misbehaves.

You can choose any of the formats that logcat supports. The default and recommended format is "time".

It will add the output of "top" to the email. This shows the list of processes and the amount of CPU they are using.

You can create a home shortcut where you can specify the destination email, format and email client.

Developers

If SendLog is installed you can invoke it from your application using the following code:

    Intent intent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("org.l6n.sendlog");
    intent.setType("5|com.google.android.gm.ComposeActivityGmail|android@l6n.org");
    startActivity(intent);

All the parameters are optional, but they must be in the order shown, i.e. you can remove parameters from the end.

The first parameter is the format from this zero-based list: brief, process, tag, thread, raw, time, threadtime, long.

You can also add additional parameters to logcat by adding a line like this:

    intent.putExtra("filter", "MyApp:D *:I");
