Question

while programming android with eclipse, no matter if you’re using the emulator or a device connected in debug mode you can easily check the Log for looking at the custom messages that you wrote.

e.g.: Log.i("foo: " + foo);

With the method:

Titanium.API.info("foo: " + foo);

if i’m using the emulator it all works fine, but if i’m deploying on the device is there a way of looking at the INFO?? with TiStudio or even TiDev

Thanks

You can see logcat from the current device. Enable debug mode on the device, and connect it to the computer.

Then, if using eclipse, on the DDMS view on Devices select the device you want and the LogCat will show logs from it.

You can also see with this app the logs:

Or save them to file:

    try {
        File filename = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
                      + "/logfile.txt");
        filename.createNewFile();
        String[] cmd = new String[] { "logcat", "-v", "time", "-c", "-f",
                filename.getAbsolutePath() };
        Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.d("mCare", "Unable to log...", e);
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
