In my case I have a bug that i cant replicate on my phone I just want the stack trace back from a lone tester. The simplest way I could find to do this was to get it copied into the users clipboard and ask them to send it to me here is the code:

import android.app.Application;
import android.content.ClipData;
import android.content.ClipboardManager;
import android.content.Context;

import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.StringWriter;

/**
 * Copies the stack trace the exception that is causing your application to crash into the clip board.
 * Ask your testers to paste it into an email / text message to you.
 *

public class CrashDebugApplication extends Application {
  @Override
  public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();

    Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(new Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler() {
      @Override
      public void uncaughtException(Thread thread, Throwable e) {
        // Get the stack trace.
        StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
        PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw);
        e.printStackTrace(pw);

        // Add it to the clip board and close the app
        ClipboardManager clipboard = (ClipboardManager) getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
        ClipData clip = ClipData.newPlainText("Stack trace", sw.toString());
        clipboard.setPrimaryClip(clip);
        System.exit(1);
      }
    });

  }
}

Then set the android:name property in Android Manifesto i.e.
