The Complete Guide to Capturing AI Edge Gallery Bug Reports for ANDROID devices

Thank you for helping us improve the AI Edge Gallery app! To find and fix bugs effectively, our engineers need detailed diagnostic information from your device. A Full Bug Report is the best way to provide this.

Please note that this guide is specifically for capturing bug reports on Android devices.

This guide covers the simple on-device method for all users and the more advanced adb method for developers.

Part 1: The Recommended Method (On Your Device)

This is the fastest and easiest way to generate a complete bug report.

1. Enable Developer Options

First, you need to enable the hidden "Developer options" menu on your phone.

• Open your phone's Settings app.
• Scroll down and tap "About phone".
• Find the "Build number" and tap on it 7 times in a row. You will see a "You are now a developer!" message.

2. Capture the Bug Report

It's best to capture the report immediately after you've experienced the bug.

• Go back to the main Settings page and find the new "Developer options" menu (it may be under "System").
• Inside Developer options, tap "Take bug report".
• Select the "Full report" option and tap "Report". This provides the most detailed information and is strongly preferred.

3. Wait and Share

• Your phone will take a moment to collect all the data. When it's ready, a notification will appear saying "Bug report captured".
• Tap this notification.
• The Android share menu will open. You can now share the .zip file with us. The easiest way is to save it to your Google Drive and share the link, or attach it directly to the GitHub issue.

Part 2: For Developers & Advanced Users (Using ADB)

This section is for users comfortable with the Android Debug Bridge (adb) command-line tool.

Capture a Bug Report Directly

If you have a device connected to your computer with USB debugging enabled, you can use the following commands.

• For a single connected device:

# This saves the report to the specified path on your computer.
adb bugreport C:\Reports\MyBugReports

• For multiple connected devices:

# First, list devices to get the serial number.
adb devices

# Then, use the serial number to target the correct device.
adb -s <your_device_serial_number> bugreport

Access Older Bug Reports from Your Device

Android automatically saves recent bug reports on the device.

1. List Saved Reports:

adb shell ls /bugreports/

2. Pull a Specific Report:

adb pull /bugreports/<bug_report_filename.zip>

Understanding the Bug Report File

Your bug report is a .zip file. Inside, the most important file is bugreport-[...].txt. This text file contains the full system log (logcat), error logs (dumpstate), and detailed diagnostic output for all system services (dumpsys), giving engineers a complete picture of the device's state at the time of the bug.
