This is a sample Android executable that can be used to test the
Google Breakpad client library on Android.

Its purpose is simply to crash and generate a minidump under /data/local/tmp.

Build instructions:

   cd android/sample_app
   $NDK/ndk-build

  Where $NDK points to a valid Android NDK installation.

Usage instructions:

   After buildind the test program, send it to a device, then run it as
   the shell UID:

     adb push libs/armeabi/test_google_breakpad /data/local/tmp
     adb shell /data/local/tmp/test_google_breakpad

   This will simply crash after dumping the name of the generated minidump
   file.

   See jni/test_breakpad.cpp for details.

   Use 'armeabi-v7a' instead of 'armeabi' above to test the ARMv7-A version
   of the binary.

Note:
   If you plan to use the library in a regular Android application, store
   the minidump files either to your app-specific directory, or to the SDCard
   (the latter requiring a specific permission).
