Why is printStackTrace() a security risk for mobile (Android) applications? -

i found several places on internet mention using method

throwable.printstacktrace()  

in android application poses security risk (and bad coding practice.) understand why security risk? attacker using information provided by

e.printstacktrace(); 

where e of type exception, instance?

well , developer never want end user understand happening @ of application. following points can think of right now.

• a stack trace should never visibile end users

• generating stack trace relatively tedious process

• many logging frameworks available

• printing stack trace not constitute error handling. should combined other information logging , exception handling.

i have used same link answer question both related!
