Android: how to get started with UncaughtExceptionHandler installed in application

How to get started with UncaughtExceptionHandler if this main thread crashes?

My goal is to display some error messages when my Android program crashes.

I have an exception handler registered in my onCreate software application (MyApplication):

Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(new HelloUncaughtExceptionHandler()); 

And when the exception is caught, I would like to start a new activity for the user to save / send errors. This is what I am doing now:

 class HelloUncaughtExceptionHandler implements UncaughtExceptionHandler { @Override public void uncaughtException(Thread thread, Throwable e) { final Writer result = new StringWriter(); final PrintWriter printWriter = new PrintWriter(result); e.printStackTrace(printWriter); String stacktrace = result.toString(); printWriter.close(); Intent intent = new Intent(MyApplication.this, BugReportActivity.class); intent.putExtra("stacktrace", stacktrace); intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); startActivity(intent); } } 

I get a blank screen without BugReportActivity appearing (if I start it with activity, it works fine). "MyApplication.this" bothers me ... is there no way to trigger an arbitrary action from my application?

Thanks to everyone.
