Filter tags in LogCat (in Android Eclipse Plug-In)

Question

There is a TextField "Filter" below the LogCat output. However, it seems to filter only the Message-column. Id like to filter Tags also. Because there are my class names.

How can I achieve it?

Answer 1

There's a button that looks like a green + in the upper right of the log cat window, if you mouse over it says "Create Filter" in the popup from that you can filter by log tag. It creates a new tab in log cat with the filter name you specified. Then all of the output of that tag will go to that tab and not the "Log" tab.

Answer 2

In Eclipse, if I would like to exclude those annoying Choreographer messages,I write this filter in the logcat filter TextField : tag:^(?!Choreographer).*$ and it excludes all messages which tag starts with the text Choreographer

If you want multiple exclusions : tag:^(?!Choreographer|dalvikvm-heap|Trace).*$
