## What it is
An Android library that launches a custom error activity when the app crashes, replacing the default 'Unfortunately, X has stopped' system dialog. It is configurable via a builder API and can be combined with crash reporters like Firebase Crashlytics or ACRA.

## Use cases
- show a custom screen when my android app crashes
- replace the unfortunately app has stopped dialog
- let users restart the app after a crash
- collect crash details in a custom error activity
- combine a custom crash screen with Firebase Crashlytics
- silently handle crashes that happen in the background

## When to choose
- you want a branded, user-friendly crash screen on Android instead of the system dialog
- you need configurable crash behavior such as restart buttons, error details, or background crash modes
- you already use Crashlytics or ACRA and want to add a custom UI on top

## When to avoid
- you only need crash reporting/analytics without a custom UI - use Crashlytics or ACRA alone
- you are not building an Android app
- you need a cross-platform crash handler covering iOS or desktop

## Facets
- artifact type: library
