Answer 1

I've tweaked log4j Chainsaw V2 and the (VFS)LogFilePatternReceiver to allow Chainsaw to read events from Android log files generated via logcat -v time

Download the latest developer snapshot of Chainsaw (Mac DMG and tarball available): http://people.apache.org/~sdeboy

Save this XML off as a file (after tweaking the fileURL):

And then after starting Chainsaw, select the 'Use a Chainsaw config file' option from the 'File, load Chainsaw configuration' menu, browse to this XML file, select 'always start Chainsaw with this configuration' and press OK.
