If yes, then how? Does Logcat also log events like starting time of application on its own, or the application has to use something like Log.v(App_name,message) at the start of the application?
To gather logs (logcat) from an android phone, follow either one of the following processes. Install Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. Make sure platform-tools is included (http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/adding-packages.html). Enable USB Debugging on your device.
Android 4.0 and older You can either download the SDK and use adb logcat or get Logcat Extrem from the Google Play Store, which shows the log directly on your phone. Alternatively, you can use Terminal Emulator with command "logcat > /sdcard/log. txt" for continuous writing of the log to a file on the SD Card.
To access the logging output, run the 'adb' executable with following arguments to capture the Android Enterprise related logging: Windows: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools> adb logcat -G 32M; adb shell setprop persist. log.
exactly Sashi : aLogCat is basical, but if you want your own reader, there is a special permission for this : Read_logs.
The least you can see is an entry from the ActivityManager : looking like this approx.
- Timestamp - INFO/ActivityManager(7703): Starting: Intent {act=android.intent.action.MAIN
cat= [android.intent.category.LAUNCHER]cmp=com.lemonde.androidapp/.SplashActivity
bnds=[5,553][115,671] } from pid 7786
and here is an interesting tutorial
Good luck !
There are a few applications in the market that will let you view the logcat on the phone. One example is aLogCat. Also, I'm pretty sure that it does log a message when the application gets loaded (certainly for the activity being started.
