Is there a way within a java app that's running under Android to determine that app's process ID ("PID")?
The reason I want this is that I am writing an app which reads and processes lines from logcat, and I want to be able to ignore all logcat lines that have been written by this app, itself.
I know I can do this by using a unique tag for my app in all the Log.*() calls and then ignoring logcat lines with this tag, but it seems to me that it would be cleaner if I could simply ignore all logcat lines which have been written by my own app's PID.
I've searched, but I couldn't find anything which explains how to determine the PID of a running Android app, from within that app, itself.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or pointers to docs.

However, you can arrange for different components in your application to run in separate processes, and you can create additional threads for any process. This document discusses how processes and threads work in an Android application.
What I understand is that PID is a unique process ID for each running application. Can an application have more than one PID running at the same time and how can we see that from the strace output? android. system-calls. pid.
The ability to view running processes in Android is found in the Developer Options. In order to do that, open the Settings app and locate About Phone. In the About Phone section, locate Build Number (Figure A). The Build Number of your device lists the date your version of Android was built.
As your app grows, you might find it useful to place some of your app components in a process other than your app's main process. To test app components in these non-default processes, you can use the functionality of Multiprocess Espresso.
You're looking for this, I think:
int id = android.os.Process.myPid(); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
