Request: Notify of DNS issues

[parawanderer]

I've had this app for a while on my android phone and recently decided to start using a DNS-level ad blocker.

I decided to send some BTC to a wallet on my phone today and couldn't figure out why the app was not showing the finalised transaction for the wallet that was clearly completed on the blockchain. I observed just the "0 peers connected" message, but this really didn't make me think of "DNS issue".

I went looking for this "0 peers connected" message for the app and saw some random, unrelated discussion regarding DNS and thought "oh yeah, it could be DNS", which of course it ended up being.
I'm not sure that somebody without background knowledge on DNS would be able to figure something like this out (at least I'm fairly sure these days non-CS background people interact with BTC without knowing what DNS is).

I wanted to suggest/request some sort of error/info message pop up regarding multiple failed DNS resolving attempts over a prolonged period of time & suggestions on approaches to fix the issue.

Sidenote: is there a way to export the app logs for personal use? There's the "Report Issue" button that talks about the Application Log, but I couldn't find a way for me to look at my logs myself.
I'm honestly not even sure where logs go in android by default. I'd guess it's locked behind the android abstraction level from the user...

Yes, some notification for connection problems would make sense.

You can send the report to yourself by replacing the "to" email address in your email app when it opens. Currently there is no way to directly look at the logs in the app, but honestly I think the typical screen is too small for that purpose anyway.

Ah, and of course you can use "adb logcat" to look at the logs if you've enabled developer mode on your device.
