Android Studio see whole LogCat log

Question

Is there any way of seeing the full logcat log? I have an error in my app but I don't have time to see it because lots of text appears after the error and goes past the limit of lines in the logcat. So even if I go to the top the error is already gone.

Answer 1

You should use the filter in Android Studio. Here are some options you have:

1. Limit the output only to your app:

2. Limit the output only to error messages:

3. Add custom TAG to the place where the error is thrown and filter by that:

   Log.e(custom_tag, message, throwable);

Also, if you don't want the logcat to be scrolled automatically, just select a piece of output in the middle (or scroll up).

Answer 2

Ok, so while I was doing some testing I found the solution. I did it by selecting so it only shows errors, that way I don't see the other messages.

Edit:

To change to error mode select LogCat at the bottom of the screen (or press Alt + 6) and then in the third drop down select the "Error" option.
