How to get fatal exception log on android?

Question

My app crashes without notification randomly(screen turns to black and go back to home screen), even I have implement ACRA in my app already. I think this is somehow fatal exception which ACRA can't catch it also.

Due to it happens randomly, I can't connect my phone and debug it all the time. Is there some way to get the history log of my app which I can find out what is really happen when it crashes. Thanks!

Install a logcat app, such as aLogcat on your device. Next time after a crash open it up and filter on your package name.

CatLog can stream the logcat to file, allowing you to search it afterwards (once a crash has occurred).
