Logcat data not displaying in the Log Tab of DDMS Eclipse

Question

1. The log tab is visible in DDMS and I have been logging data using Log.v(...) for many a week now without any problems.
2. Today, the log data is now longer being displayed in the Log window. Worked, then did a programming change to track a bug and now the log data is no longer showing.
3. Have tried running the app on an external Android phone, on the Android Simulator and it makes no difference.
4. Have closed down Eclipse, reloaded and still no change.
5. The console displays activity but only to the point of starting the activity.
6. The external phone is set up for debugging - not that this could be a problem since I have the same problem with the simulator

It looks like I have inadvertantly set something incorrectly but can't remember changing anything :-(

Anyone come across this problem before - have looked at previous posts but none seem relevant.

Regards,

Oliver

Solution 1

I had the same problem a while back. I was using the emulator and device for debugging. Apparently you have to select the device listed in the DDMS view whose logs you want to see. My logs were blank because the device that I was expecting logs from was not the one selected.

Hope that helps

Tried this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9826502/1238317

Check in your logcat window - TOP RIGHT corner PAUSE button || (Pause receiving new logcat messages)

Few clicks + eventually restart eclipse (usually works in my case)

Yup, that was the cause ... now all happy in programming and debugging land :-)

Thanks for the tips, it turned out that I had not the correct device selected as per previous thread.

Hi, thanks for the tip, it was a device selection problem as highlighted earlier in the thread - but thanks again for your time.

but in device can't display the devices.
