e.printStackTrace(); in string

Question

There are e.printStackTrace() method to print exceptional error, so I would like to take entire exception in String and show it by Toast.makeText

Answer 1

you can print the stack trace to a stream & read from it.

    ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(baos);

e.printStackTrace(pw);
String stachTrace = new String(baos.toByteArray());

or you can use a StringWriter in place of the ByteArrayOutputStream.
