There are a number of reasons why you might not see logs, most of which are listed below. Here are some steps to check most reasons:

1. Make sure you don't have 'android:debuggable="false"' in your AndroidManifest.xml

3. Your filters should either be 'no filters' or your current app
4. You have the correct device selected in your logcat devices list

You can do that from Android Studio by clicking on the 'restart' icon, it's right after the print icon for logcat and it looks like a green curved arrow coming out of a box. If you don't see it, mouse over the '>>' that continues the icon menu when the logcat is too small.
