Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

Try to use:

./adb logcat

Yes, that helps me view the log.Is there a way to filter out the other log messages and view only the ones I have logged in my app?

Do you have a common TAG you use for logging?

joki 2010-10-18 11:13:28

`adb logcat | grep "whatever"`?

Felix 2010-10-18 12:06:50

Yes, a TAG is used. Is that to be given in "whatever"?..i.e adb logcat | grep "TAG"

One more little doubt..Is this logcat available as a file? I mean, if I want to do some more logging, in software layers below the android application layer, can I give the path of the same LogCat file? When working with emulator, I observed that no such file is created as such in my workspace.

logcat is a program.You can use: "adb logcat > log.file", then you will get your logs stored inside the log.file

kogut 2010-10-19 11:51:13

hmmm, that command will save the current logcat into log.file, right? Will it continue futher logging into that file?

Answer 2

A:

When you run on device, the log is also available in LogCat. You will need to turn on USB debugging (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging) in your device, then you can use LogCat just like in the emulator, both using ./adb logcat and in Eclipse.
