I am working to a Android Application where i have to generate text file if for example user shake his handset or crash happens. I want to store Log Report of application( which is also displayed by Logcat) inside this report. Also i want to display specific logs of my company SDK. Any Suggestion?
Try some third party services such as bugsense if cost is not an issue. Or register for crashlytics (free) and wait for acceptance.
Try this.
How to save LogCat contents to file?

In my cross-platform Xamarin Forms application I would like to have a Logging option. If it's enabled, it should generate a log file stating the errors or in which step the app is crashing (if any of these takes places while the app is running) and I should be able to pull and check this generated log file.
When I googled for this I found on many sites that we need to debug using usb and check it on android adb, but once the application goes live and user downloads it in their phone if app crashes any time then the user should be able to turn on the logging button and once the process is run it generates a log file. The user can then send the file to the developer to check what exactly is happening in the system.
How do I implement this feature in Xamarin Forms for both iPhone and Android?
What about analytics service like hokeyapp or appcenter.ms
They do what you and more.
But if you want to implements this by yourself is still possible but you need to write specific code on both plateform to handle exception and write them on files with stack traces
I need to get logs which is stored as a log file in end user device, for getting that I can implement send feedback option and make user send the file to a email address given in intent.
But I need something better than this like google analytics or some other logging stuff which is easy to use where we can upload a file, and still manage other log events too.
You can use Firebase, it's have many feature to use.
Report Crashes on Android
Firebase Crash Reporting creates detailed reports of the errors in your app. Errors are grouped into issues based on having similar stack traces, and triaged by the severity of impact on your users. In addition to receiving automatic reports, you can log custom events to help capture the steps leading up to a crash.
You can watch docs in here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/crash/android
I purposely make my own application crash. I get the following dialog.
However, I wish to get the following crash dialog with report button.
May I know how I can do so? I had signed my application. (But I transfer the APK locally to my phone, not through Android market). I still can't get the Report button.
As far as I know, the Report button only shows when the app is installed via the Market (i.e. is signed and not in debug mode nor with a debug key). This data is all shown in LogCat if you are USB debugging.
Edit: Also, you can catch this information and file a report yourself if you want, using this method.
Use the acra library in your app. This basically "is a library enabling Android Application to automatically post their crash reports to a GoogleDoc form". You can modify its use to pop up a dialog like the above, and ask the user to report the issue, with an additional user-typed message, even.
Your phone may running a customized rom like CM.
If you want to report log when your app get FC,one way is catch exceptions and mail them.

Any ideas how can I create a bug report in my application and when application crash to open a dialog and give the user a chance to send us report with files attached to the e-mail and etc. I've already implemented a function which is sending the error message to out server, but I want to be able to let the user to send these errors with some text input, attached files and etc.
Any ideas how should I proceed?
You can find exactly what you're looking for in Instabug. It is a bug & crash reporting SDK that allows for two things:
Allows users to report bugs through a shake gesture in-app
Upon a shake, a screenshot is taken that the user can draw on for visual bug identification.
User can further describe the bug using text, extra screenshots, voice notes, or even screen recordings.
Automatically receive crash reports in the event of a crash
All reports arrive to your Instabug dashboard containing various details such as:
Network and console logs
Complete Device details
Visual reproduction steps
Crash stack trace (In case of a crash report)
It only takes a line of code to integrate.
For full disclosure, I work at Instabug. Let me know if I can help.
See ACRA. It's a solid crash reporting library.
You can get more information than the reports in Google Play, and there are a lot of configuration options detailing just which info you want and how you want it delivered. Default is to upload spreadsheets into Google docs.
Also allows user input at crash time.
