Why doesn't “System.out.println” work in Android?

Question

I want to print something in console, so that I can debug it. But for some reason, nothing prints in my Android application.

How do I debug then?

There is no place on your phone that you can read the System.out.println();

Instead, if you want to see the result of something either look at your logcat/console window or make a Toast or a Snackbar (if you're on a newer device) appear on the device's screen with the message :) That's what i do when i have to check for example where it goes in a switch case code! Have fun coding! :)
