How can I get the line number where the exception was thrown using Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler?

Question

When I use a try-catch block to catch an exception, I can get the line number where the exception was thrown by calling e.getStackTrace().

Like this:

Inspired by Thilo and 范植勝 here the copy 'n paste version for the lazy people:

public class UncaughtExceptionHandler implements Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler {
    final Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler uncaughtExceptionHandler = Thread.getDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler();
    @Override
    public void uncaughtException(Thread thread, Throwable throwable) {
        Log.ee(thread.getClass().getName(),
                throwable.getMessage(),
                "Error in " + Arrays.toString(throwable.getCause().getStackTrace()));
        if (uncaughtExceptionHandler != null) {
            // let Android know what happened
            uncaughtExceptionHandler.uncaughtException(thread, throwable);
        } else {
            // kill process
            System.exit(-1);
        }
    }
}

Note: Log.ee is a custom file writer

public static void ee(String tag, String msg, String msg2) {
    try {
        String ts = Utils.getReadableTimeStamp();
        File dir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + Const.CRASH_DIR);
        dir.mkdirs();
        PrintWriter printWriter = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(new File(dir, "errors-" + sImei + ".log"), true));
        printWriter.print("-------------------------------\r\n");
        printWriter.print(ts + ":\r\n");
        printWriter.print(tag + "\r\n");
        printWriter.print(msg + "\r\n");
        printWriter.print(msg2 + "\r\n");
        printWriter.print("-------------------------------\r\n");
        printWriter.flush();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        android.util.Log.e(Log.class.getName(), "ee -> IOException", e);
    }
}
