Remember that exception.printStackTrace() method that outputs detailed messages about the error in the console? That method returns void so there’s no way to get those messages stored in a String. Try this handy method does the trick. Just pass the exception object as the parameter for this method.


import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.StringWriter;

public static String getExceptionStackTraceAsString(Exception exception) {
  StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
  exception.printStackTrace(new PrintWriter(sw));
  return sw.toString();
}
