This demo app shows how to use Breakpad with HockeyApp on Android. The app consists of both Java and C/C++ code (using the NDK). Crashes in C/C++ are handled by Breakpad and then uploaded to HockeyApp for further processing.

Setup

1. Clone this repository:

    cd ~/Projects
    git clone git://github.com/ashtom/breakapp.git
   

2. Checkout Google Breakpad in the same directory:

    svn checkout http://google-breakpad.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ Breakpad
   

3. Build Breakpad:

    cd ~/Projects/Breakpad
    ./configure && make
   

4. Build the native code:

    cd ~/Projects/BreakApp
    ndk-build
   

5. Open the Java project in Eclipse and run it on your Android device.

Details

• If you want to see the crashes in your HockeyApp account, please adjust the value of HOCKEYAPP_ID in MainActivity.java.
• As usual, crashes are sent at the next start of the app.
• The minidump file is processed on HockeyApp and inserted into the crash log for grouping and further inspection. This might take a minute or two.
• Stack traces are not symbolicated. You can download the minidump file from the "Meta" tab to symbolicate on your machine.
