logging - Show log messages on screen for Android application

Question

Is it possible to display the log messages (which I print using android.util.Log) on screen in an Android application?

Is there any other better method to just output lines on the screen?

Something like System.out.println?

Answer 1

Like others have suggested, you can use log cat. If you are using the emulator or debugging a device, you can use adb logcat to view the messages. In Eclipse debug perspective, there is a window that will do that for you.

Another way, without a debugger attached, is to use the CatLog - Logcat Reader application.
