What is LogCat in Eclipse?

Question

What does LogCat do in Eclipse?

How do I use it? I have never used the log cat before in Eclipse, so I don\'t understand.

Answer 1

Logcat is some kind of file where all debug information and errors are stored. You can simply access it by either using the command "adb shell logcat" in a terminal on your developer machine with the development sdk or download an app like "alogcat" from the market.

Like mthpvg and Pratik said, it is really handy and you can write your own messages in it.
