Android crash reports viewer

This project is an ACRA PHP Frontend. ACRA is the Application Crash Reporting tool for Android. Check https://github.com/ACRA/acra The aim of it is to have a rather simple setup: PHP and MySQL. This should work pretty nicely with any version. Any contribution welcome. I have very little time to spend on this project. I do use it for my production apps, so it should be useable as long as you don't want a nice UI ;) See screenshots below.

Setup

On the server

• This application has to be installed on a Apache/PHP/*SQL machine configuration.
• You should create a config.php file that indicates where is the SQL server.
• PHP 5.5.0 or 5.6.0 is required. Higher versions do not support MySQL, only MySQLi

Setup instructions:

$ cd ~
$ git clone https://github.com/BenoitDuffez/crashreportsviewer.git
$ cd crashreportsviewer

Edit config.php file as follows:

<?php
$mysql_server = 'mysql.server.com'; // usually it's simply localhost
$mysql_user = 'username';
$mysql_password = 'password';
$mysql_db = 'db_name'; 

Make Apache (or your webserver) point to ~/crashreportsviewer/www. Open up your web browser to http(s)://your.server.tld/path/to/www/, which should indicate a message that the database is not installed. Simply click the link, and go back to http(s)://your.server.tld/path/to/www/.

The database is now ready to receive crash reports. Configure your client (and make it crash!) to see if this is working for you.

On the client

ACRA should sent reports to http://server.tld/path/to/submit.php. Example annotation of your Android Application class:

@ReportsCrashes(formKey = "", // will not be used
				formUri = "http://yourserver.com/path/to/submit.php",
				formUriBasicAuthLogin = "yourlogin", // optional
				formUriBasicAuthPassword = "y0uRpa$$w0rd", // optional
				mode = ReportingInteractionMode.TOAST,
				resToastText = R.string.crash_toast_text)
public class MyApplication extends Application {
...
}

Usage

Pages

• / or /your.android.package/: dashboard of the crashes of your applications (filtered by Android package name, if mentioned in the URL)
• /reports/: view a all reports, grouped by issue_id
• /issue/<issue_id>/: view a single report, identified by its issue_id

Image: Example of the dashboard

Features

• issue_id: this is an md5sum of the exceptions and where they occured. This should give a unique identifier for the crash, and all crashes caused by the same issue (same exceptions at the same files/lines) should share the same issue_id.
• You can filter by package name: http://server.tld/com.yourcompany.yourproduct/reports.php will display all information regarding "com.yourcompany.yourproduct" package only.
• Wildcards in package name are supported: http://server.tld/com.yourcompany.*/reports.php will work.
