Android Studio Logcat not showing logs

Question

There is very awkward thing I am facing. Logcat is shown in debugging application, but while running (not debugging) application, it is not showing Logcat.

I tried restarting it but nothing is happening.

Solution 1

In my case in Android 2.2, for some reason, Firebase was selected by default in the dropdown box marked above. So logs didn't drop. I just needed to change it to No Filters. Then it worked.

I even tried restarting the logcat, that didn't work too. No Filters did the magic.

Hope this helps someone.

Edit: You can as well select Show only selected application for logcat to show only the current debugging process, i.e your app.

Solution 2

• You may be hiding it, try pressing Alt + 6 to open Log tab.

• Look at the log level:- it must be verbose.

• Restart adb.

• If that doesn't works restart the android studio.

Solution 3

In Logcat window reselect your device then reselect your app

if it didn't appear restart adb using two commands:

adb kill-server
adb start-server

Solution 4

Besides what other guys said, look if you have written something in the search box that causes this problem(it was my case).

Note: Even in case of a restart, what you have written in search box won't delete and you need to delete it yourself.

Solution 5

Try the following Steps:-

Step 1. Goto File > Invalidate Caches and Restart > Invalidate and Restart. Android Studio will restart automatically and logcat will work as expected.

Refer screenshots :

Step 2. If Step(1) didn't worked then try this : Goto Terminal > cd till your platform-tools directory (eg. in Windows default location is C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools). Now type following command :

adb kill-server

adb start-server

Step 3: If Step(1)&(2) both didn't worked then simply try clicking on Re-Start Logging button available in Logcat option. Refer screenshot - (Green colour curved arrow with grey box)

Ah my bad, thought you meant restarted Android Studio. Have you tried restarting Android Studio, logcat, and adb?

After upgrade to Android 3.6.1, I have experienced this issue multiple times. The only thing that works in my case is RESTARTING THE DEVICE.
