How to crash an Android app programmatically?

Question

I want to test out crash report using acra but the first step is I need to simulate a fatal crash in Android using code.

Any idea?

Answer 1

You could try a Null Pointer exception.

Integer i = null;

Then invoke any method on the object.

i.byteValue();

Invoking a method on an object that hasn't been initialized will crash the app.
