Eclipse: Logcat logs disappear very quickly. How to save at run-time? And Increase window buffer size?

I am taking android logs using Logcat in Eclipse. But, they disappear very quickly from the Logcat screen.

Is there a way to either:

  1. increase the buffer size of the Logcat window, so that I can see the logs later on also as there would enough stored in the buffer?

  2. Is there a way to save them to file through Eclipse at run time?

Thanks, Sunny

How do I increase the Logcat buffer size?

As of Android 5.0, there's also way to change the buffer size via Developer options on the device. First enable Developer options in Settings. Then navigate to the newly visible Developer options entry, scroll down, and click on logger buffer size . This will display options ranging from off to 16Mb .

What is Logcat buffer?

Logcat is a command-line tool that dumps a log of system messages, including stack traces when the device throws an error and messages that you have written from your app with the Log class. This page is about the command-line logcat tool, but you can also view log messages from the Logcat window in Android Studio.

  1. Windows->Preferences->Android->Logcat:

You can change the maximum number of logcat messages to buffer.
