Redirect stdout to logcat in Android NDK

Question

I can\'t get my Nexus S (running Android 4.0) to redirect native stdout message to logcat. I\'ve read that I need to do this:

$ adb shell stop
$ adb shell se

You should also be able to wrap your logging code to detect if it's Android and if so use Android's logging. This may or may not be practical for everyone.

Include the logging header file:

#include

Use the built in logging functionality:

__android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_INFO, "foo", "Error: %s", foobar);
