How can I add a Send feedback option on an Android app crashing? This option is seen in Google's own apps and here is an example from Starbucks.
There are a number of very old answers to this question that involve programmatically creating something like this. They seem overly involved to make this show.
I'm surprised there isn't a simple way to implement this without putting a try catch around the entire app. Can this be enabled simply e.g. by enabling an option on the Google Play store console or by by adding something to the manifest?
I have not been able to find data on how to do this in the Android or Play Store documentation.
Update: We are using Crashlytics/Fabric as our crash reporting library
This image shows the default behaviour on Android 6.0.
And 8.0:
There is no means to put "a try catch around the entire app".
There are a wide range of crash reporting libraries for Android, some of which (e.g., ACRA) will support your sort of feedback option. Implementing a crash reporter is somewhat tricky, given that your app's process is in an unstable state when you crash, which is why we have tested and debugged libraries for this purpose.
The libraries will add something to the manifest as part of adding them to your app.
