Eclipse needs to be restarted frequently for logcat to work properly

Question

As an Android developer, I am facing issue with Logcat integration in Eclipse. Most of the times, it works fine, but I sometimes have to restart Eclipse in order to have those useful log lines back. This occurs especially when I restart the test-dedicated handset. Do you know if there's a way to make it work properly?

Answer 1

Happens to me a lot, best tip i've been given is Window->Open Perspective->Other->DDMS.

Switch to this perspective, select your running instance in the Devices pane and Logcat starts showing output again.
