Truncated Logcat Exception Message

Question

I'm trying to debug an android app error (in AS2.1beta3) but the logcat message seems to be truncated at the point where it would give me the info on what caused the problem.

Error message:

Caused by: com.fasterxml

Sometimes it shows an additional period at the end i.e. com.fasterxml.

What can I do to see the whole message? This is driving me nuts!

Answer 1

I don't know how to make the error message appear to appears fully in logcat, but my approach would be to debug the application and enable an exception-breakpoint on com.firebase.client.FirebaseException.

In Android Studio open menu Run -> View Breakpoints -> plus sign -> 3. Java Exception Breakpoints -> paste com.firebase.client.FirebaseException and press OK.

Now if the exception occurs the app will stop and you have the time to view the exception including the full stack trace in the debugger.
