How can I see long texts/msg in logcat?

Question

Since we are using logcat as a console for android. There are cases when the the output text/msg is kinda big and I can't see the complete output. The log cat shows only the starting part of it. Is there a way to expand it so that I can see the full msg?

This is the way I solved the problem. Hope it helps.

The important method for using it inside your code is splitAndLog.

public class Utils {     /**      * Divides a string into chunks of a given character size.      *       * @param text                  String text to be sliced      * @param sliceSize             int Number of characters      * @return  ArrayList<String>   Chunks of strings      */     public static ArrayList<String> splitString(String text, int sliceSize) {         ArrayList<String> textList = new ArrayList<String>();         String aux;         int left = -1, right = 0;         int charsLeft = text.length();         while (charsLeft != 0) {             left = right;             if (charsLeft >= sliceSize) {                 right += sliceSize;                 charsLeft -= sliceSize;             }             else {                 right = text.length();                 aux = text.substring(left, right);                 charsLeft = 0;             }             aux = text.substring(left, right);             textList.add(aux);         }         return textList;     }      /**      * Divides a string into chunks.      *       * @param text                  String text to be sliced      * @return  ArrayList<String>         */     public static ArrayList<String> splitString(String text) {         return splitString(text, 80);     }      /**      * Divides the string into chunks for displaying them      * into the Eclipse's LogCat.      *       * @param text      The text to be split and shown in LogCat      * @param tag       The tag in which it will be shown.      */     public static void splitAndLog(String tag, String text) {         ArrayList<String> messageList = Utils.splitString(text);         for (String message : messageList) {             Log.d(tag, message);         }     } }
