Since we are using logcat as a console for android. There are cases when the the output text/msg is kinda big and I can't see the complete output. The log cat shows only the starting part of it. Is there a way to expand it so that I can see the full msg?

If you want to write long messages to see in logcat it may be worth writing your own wrapper around the android.util.Log methods which splits your long message over multiple lines.

Do u mean it like that: Call Log.v inside a custom function?

@OneWorld - Yes, call Log.v a number of times passing it different parts of the message.

Of course, you can change the column width, just by going to the end of the line clicking and dragging. That is a pain for really long messages. If I have a really long message, I generally copy the line and paste it into a text file. Ctrl-C in Windows will copy it.

Logcat strips off text from the end if the msg is long. It doesn't logs the full msg. So when I copy it the text also comes stripped
