logcat

Periodically LogCat will stop showing messages even though I am in debug mode. At other times it will display only one line at a time! I have a solution, restart eclipse. But I would like to understand this better. It takes too much time to restart eclipse when this happens. I have seen this behavior on the emulator and connected to a device. Either the LogCat shows one line with no history or nothing. Yes, I can get the normal logcat back by clear the log. Also I uncheck the "Limit console output" in Run/Debug->Console. I was with the same problem and the solutions here didn't work for me.

I'm looking for the log file(s) that are made by logcat. Where are they typically stored? They are stored as circular memory buffers on the device. If you run "adb logcat > myfile" on your host system, you can retrieve the content into a file. Tary To get post-mortem information from a device it is helpful to see the timestamp as well. To let you know when the event occurred, try: adb logcat -d -v time > logfile.txt If you just want to see the current contents of the log, you can do adb logcat -d > myfile It will exit after dumping the log. (suravi's suggestion would be good if you wanted to

I'm testing an android application with a long running service. I'm using Eclipse and have the usb cord hooked up with the phone sitting next to me. Since it's a long ongoing service, I do some other work while it runs and check the logcat logs every once in a while to make sure everything is going as expected. A few minutes ago I noticed the phone rebooting. I think it's done this before as it would explain some weird application behavior. I quickly switched over to Eclipse to see what happened and found that the logcat log was (it seems) cleared during the reboot. So there's no log of

I am using Monkeyrunner (automation) to test an app on an Android device (Samsung S2), and since it does not allow me to see image patterns on the screen, I have to rely on the adb logcat (using Windows) to look for specific messages in order to know when the next page has loaded for my automation script. And in order to look for specific (unique) messages in the logcat, for my monkeyrunner script, I have to CLEAR out ALL the adb logs, then perform the search. Is there a way to clear out only the line(s) that match a specific tag, message, text, or whatever(!), within the logcat log? Instead
