Display Android Thread ID in LogCat

Question

By default, LogCat on Eclipse displays 5 informational columns:

Time       Level  pid   tag message 

Is it possible to add a 6th column, displaying thread id?

Solution 1

Answering myself: Since 2 weeks have gone by and no concrete suggestion as to how to add a a 6th column for thread id in LogCat has been provided, I can only assume that this isn't possible (currently).

Solution 2

Run ADb in the command shell like this:

C:\Temp>adb logcat -v threadtime > t.txt

This will run in parallel to your Eclipse session. Once you done with Eclipse, Ctrl+C from shell and you'll have the log in t.txt. It is not as nice as having it in the Eclipse logcat window but will do the job.

I am already using android.os.Process.myTid() in my Log.x() but I was asking specifically about adding a 6th column to LogCat in Eclipse, if possible. +1 for the attempt.
