Debug console doesn't show messages after upgrading Android Studio to 2.3

Question

I just upgraded the version of Android Studio to 2.3 and gradle to version 3.3 and I lost one of the most usefull features, the logs inside the Debug Console. When I run the app with Debug mode the only Log that's being displayed inside the Debug console is this:

03/03 10:35:40: Launching app Split APKs installed 
$ adb shell am startservice com.myapp.android/com.android.tools.fd.runtime.InstantRunService 
$ adb shell am start -n "com.myapp.android/com.myapp.android.UI.SplashActivity" -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER -D
Connecting to com.myapp.android Connected to the target VM, address: 'localhost:8601', transport: 'socket'

After that nothing is being displayed. Any idea how to fix this?

Answer 1

I don't know how to fix this (I hope someone figures it out soon), but here's an alternative:

1. Open the "Android Monitor" tab
2. Select the "logcat" tab
3. In the upper-right corner of the Android Monitor tool window, click on the drop-down menu and select "Show only selected application"

The output from Android Monitor is now almost the same as what it was with Debug. You can choose what information will be displayed before the messages by clicking the gear in the logcat's left sidebar.

You'll end up with something like this:
