Stop Eclipse from opening Logcat when running an Android app

Question

When doing Android development in Eclipse and running an application, my perspective stays in 'Java' but the LogCat view still opens in the sidebar (the one on the right where the Outline view is).

I don't want LogCat to open, it's annoying. If I want to look at it I can switch perspectives to DDMS.

Answer 1

Go to the Android > LogCat section of Eclipse's Prefereneces window and try adjusting settings in there:

In particular, the bottom two checkboxes look promising for adjusting this behavior.
