Saving Logcat to a text file in Android Device

Question

Answer 1

Use -f option with logcat in your class:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("logcat -f" + " /sdcard/Logcat.txt");

This will dump the logs to the file stored device.

Note that the path "/sdcard/" may not be available in all devices. You should use the standard APIs to access the external storage.
