Bug reporting best practices

Before filing a new bug report search the existing Android bugs database to make sure that your issue has not already been reported.
  • If your issue has already been reported but you have a variation or new information to add, you can click "Add a comment below" on the left side of the issue screen to update the bug report.

When filing a bug report:
  • A bug should be understandable years later by someone who will never talk to the reporter or assignee.
  • Be concise but make sure you have included all relevant information. Don't assume the reader will have any context for what you are describing.
  • Enter a quick description of the problem, followed by the steps to reproduce it.
  • Define any acronyms or potentially unfamiliar terms you use.

Use this template to ensure that you provide all the necessary information:
