Use built-in feedback mechanism on Android

feedback_android.java

// more information here: http://blog.tomtasche.at/2012/10/use-built-in-feedback-mechanism-on.html

try {
    int i = 3 / 0;
} catch (Exception e) {
    ApplicationErrorReport report = new ApplicationErrorReport();
    report.packageName = report.processName = getApplication()
        .getPackageName();
    report.time = System.currentTimeMillis();
    report.type = ApplicationErrorReport.TYPE_CRASH;
    report.systemApp = false;

    ApplicationErrorReport.CrashInfo crash = new ApplicationErrorReport.CrashInfo();
    crash.exceptionClassName = e.getClass().getSimpleName();
    crash.exceptionMessage = e.getMessage();

    StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
    PrintWriter printer = new PrintWriter(writer);
    e.printStackTrace(printer);

    crash.stackTrace = writer.toString();

    StackTraceElement stack = e.getStackTrace()[0];
    crash.throwClassName = stack.getClassName();
    crash.throwFileName = stack.getFileName();
    crash.throwLineNumber = stack.getLineNumber();
    crash.throwMethodName = stack.getMethodName();

    report.crashInfo = crash;

    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_APP_ERROR);
    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_BUG_REPORT, report);
    startActivity(intent);
}

I like the way this brings "Send Feedback" like the original Android Feedback reporting mechanism. However, I have following problems:

1). Report says "Crash Report" and "Arithmetic Exception" ! There is no workaround for this. If exception is not raised, this cannot be done. There is no other type than TYPE_CRASH for this to work !
2). No way to pre-popolate the message field. I tried the crash.exceptionMessage = "custom message here", but it doesn't work.
If these two issues are resolved, I think this can be widely used by developers.

Thanks again for sharing this.

Thanks for the great help!
To avoid the "Complete action using..." dialog, set this on the intent.
intent.setClassName("com.google.android.feedback", "com.google.android.feedback.FeedbackActivity");

You can see my fork https://gist.github.com/satyadeepk/7389938 for the update.

Any way. where is feedback sent? Play console?

@alorma Yes.

Is there a to use this on users request from menu ? Without any stack trace
I just tried this and didn't see the feedback on the Developer Console
