Time displayed in Logcat

Question

I need to get the Android device timestamp in the format hh:mm:ss:SS. I am able to view the time displayed in the Logcat of Eclipse. Is it the computer's time or is it the Android device's time?

Answer 1

From the docs of logcat you can see that there is an option to specify how the output is formatted (-v).

To get a timestamp, you can use the command

logcat -v time 

This will prefix each message with a timestamp.

Answer 2

use adb logcat -v threadtime in terminal to take the logs from device, it will include date and time.

if you want to redirect these logs into a text file then use command in terminal.

 adb logcat -v threadtime > folder_path_in_the_computer/filename.txt
