Send custom data with ACRA without sending an exception itself

acra, android, exception, webview

Solution

I just found the way, you just need to give null as parameter instead of an Exception, for example:

ACRA.getErrorReporter().putCustomData("myKey", "myValue");
ACRA.getErrorReporter().handleException(null);

These 2 lines will report this error:

java.lang.Exception: Report requested by developer

With the following as custom data in the report:

{myKey:myValue}

Problem

Is it possible to send custom data with acra without actually having a Throwable? I´ve seen that it is possible to append custom crashdata by using ``` ACRA.getErrorReporter().putCustomData() ``` But the data will only be send if there will follow an exception. The intention of doing it is an app I´m working on, which uses webview and I want to send Javascript errors as well as native ones.
