Easier Bug Reporting on 4.2

With the recent release of an updated Jelly Bean version, i.e, 4.2, there have been quite some new things to awe you.

These are two things that could probably make a developers life easier.

• Take bug report — immediately takes a screen shot and dumps device state information to local file storage, then attaches them to a new outgoing email message.
• Power menu bug reports — Adds a new option to the device power menu and quick settings to take a bug report (see above).

Remember, while you were testing your app on a bus, or you were away from your desktop/laptop and got a dreaded crash!! You, so eagerly want to have a look at the logcat, or even save the logcat output for later investigation. And most of the times, I don't have SendLog, which I could fire up, and send me the logs.

With 4.2, it's already built-in to your phone. Here are a few screenshots, that give you an idea.

Enable this option from the Settings Page.

Hold the power button, to see the option to capture a "Bug Report"

Happy Coding...
