Using ACRA with tracepot as backend

I have just finished my first android app as part of a school project ..one of my friends encountered a problem while trying to explore one of the activities in the app ..so i searched for solutions to get the crashes reports whenever they happen to fix the bugs ..i came across ACRA ..and I followed one of SO threads to setup ACRA to my app ..
RESULT: when the crashs happens the gmail app get launch in the device and the user (if he want to) he'll send the crash report by email ..Consedering not all users will want to ..i found in a comment in one of the SO threads that some developers use tracepot.
so i have used their link for integration in formUri but exploring my account on tracepot i get nothing ..is there something i am doing wrong (or if there is a better solution than using tracepot a backend , please suggest/explain or link a good tutorial, thanks!)
MyApplication.Java ( AFTER EDITING
#ReportsCrashes(
formUri = "https://collector.tracepot.com/79b1***",
reportType = org.acra.sender.HttpSender.Type.JSON,
httpMethod = org.acra.sender.HttpSender.Method.PUT,
mode = ReportingInteractionMode.TOAST,
resToastText = R.string.crash_toast_text
)
public class MyApplication extends Application {
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
CaocConfig.Builder.create()
//.errorActivity(CustomErrorActivity.class) //default: null (default error activity)
.apply();
// The following line triggers the initialization of ACRA
ACRA.init(this);
}
}
EDIT :
msg in logcat if i use the http and email:

By default, if the mail config is present, Acra 4 will send via mail and nothing else.
To use both you'd have to configure the reportSenderFactories.
400: Client error
Indicates that tracepot rejected your report. This could have multiple reasons. To find out what the problem is, call ACRA.DEV_LOGGING = true; right before ACRA.init and post all logcat with the ACRA tag.
Also note that ACRA 4.9.2 does not support android Oreo and above, it is recommended to upgrade to at least ACRA 4.11, or just the newest version 5.2.0.

cordova.file.* (all directories) are null

I'm working on Ionic mobile app development.
My requirement is to create client side logger to track issues in app. I used the methods mentioned in https://github.com/pbakondy/filelogger, and I could able to create the log file in both Android and iOS.
For the first time when I open the app, it creates the log file in cordova.file.dataDirectory, when I close and reopen the app in i*OS, I'm trying to read the content of the file which was created using the below
$fileLogger.getLogfile().then(function (loggerContent) {
var temp =loggerContent;
});
But the application says
{
"applicationDirectory":null,
"applicationStorageDirectory":null,
"dataDirectory":null,
"cacheDirectory":null,
"externalApplicationStorageDirectory":null,
"externalDataDirectory":null,
"externalCacheDirectory":null,
"externalRootDirectory":null,
"tempDirectory":null,
"syncedDataDirectory":null,
"documentsDirectory":null,
"sharedDirectory":null
}
So I couldn't able to find the file where i saved my logs.
Please help me resolve this issue or if you could recommend me a different method to get around this issue, that would be great!
Thanks for the answers

There is a check list here and should solve your problem :
1-Be sure that the cordova-file-plugin is installed and works in your test environment.
2-Be sure that the cordova.js file is refrenced by your html and before your code usage.
3-Be sure to call your codes after device_ready state :
check this
4-Call your function after a short delay (use setTimeOut in Javascirpt)

Ali's item 4 is very important:
I had a similiar problem on different platforms: cordova.file.dataDirectory was null.
I tracked cordova.file.dataDirectory over the lifecycle and it was first accessed by my Ionic 2 code BEFORE the device ready event was fired.
My "mistake": I wanted to load data during the constructor(!) of a service. Seems too early.

PJSUA Registration is not proceeding

Hello fellow developers,
I am developing SIP application using PJSIP library...
Here is my code
And here is my Logcat log
The problem is application is not trying to proceed registration, and no errors at all... (Or I missed something?)
And log on my Kamailio Server (when my device tries to connect and log stucks nothing happens):
22(32406) DEBUG: <core> [ip_addr.c:229]: print_ip(): tcpconn_new: new tcp connection: 192.168.0.150
22(32406) DEBUG: <core> [tcp_main.c:985]: tcpconn_new(): on port 17749, type 3
22(32406) DEBUG: <core> [tcp_main.c:1295]: tcpconn_add(): hashes: 879:4076:3775, 50
22(32406) DEBUG: <core> [io_wait.h:376]: io_watch_add(): DBG: io_watch_add(0x9f8540, 44, 2, 0x7f6cdbbf3948), fd_no=34
ps. I tested server with ready client and everything is ok...
Thanks in advance :)

I have resolved issue...
The problem was in registering PJSIP in another thread... I was using main Thread and initializing connection on OnCreate() event in MainActivity. Which means, after OnCreate() fired and finishes its job, initialization process was getting destroyed before it connects into server...
What I did:
Before:
UaConfig ua_cfg = epConfig.getUaConfig();
ua_cfg.setUserAgent("Pjsua2 Android " + ep.libVersion().getFull());
ua_cfg.setThreadCnt(0);
ua_cfg.setMainThreadOnly(true);
After:
UaConfig ua_cfg = epConfig.getUaConfig();
ua_cfg.setUserAgent("Pjsua2 Android " + ep.libVersion().getFull());
Removing those lines makes PJSIP library to create its own worker thread...

How do I use WL.Client.getID() properly?

I'm trying to get the ID of a mobile phone where my hybrid worklight (v6.2) app is running on and the app is hanging on the following code:
WL.Logger.log("About to getID...");
WL.Client.getID({onSuccess : function(o) {
WL.Logger.log("getID: " + o);
devID = o.deviceID;
}, onFailure : function(e) {
WL.Logger.log("Error getting ID: " + e);
}});
WL.Logger.log("After getID...");
I see the "About to getID" output in the LogCat log, but that is it. I never see the onSuccess logging nor the onFailure logging. And the "After getID" logging never appears either.
From reading the Knowledge center documentation, it doesn't appear this method is making a call back to the Worklight server at all. This has failed both in an Android emulator and on an Android device.
Any suggestions/insight to get this method to work would be appreciated.

If you will look at the API reference for Worklight 6.2, you will see there is no such API method as WL.Client.getID: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/#!/SSZH4A_6.2.0/com.ibm.worklight.apiref.doc/html/refjavascript-client/html/WL.Client.html?cp=SSZH4A_6.2.0%2F10-0-0-1-6
There is however WL.Device.getID: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/#!/SSZH4A_6.2.0/com.ibm.worklight.apiref.doc/html/refjavascript-client/html/WL.Device.html%23getID

android 4.1 composer->captureScreen(...) failed

I use JNI way, composer -> captureScreen(...) to capture final surfaceflinger composed screen, like this sample in source code.
and build success on android 4.1, but there are error happened at runtime: the captureScreen(...) returns err = 1, and heap = null.
I googled this link is the same fail, still no answer.

OK! I got the answer...
the err = 1 means PERMISSION_DENIED = 1 in native code,
the root cause is after android 4.0 screenshot consider APP's permission , explained here in Chinese,
and here is the detail to work
thanks!
