Where are Android logcat files stored?
Question
I'm looking for the log file(s) that are made by logcat. Where are they typically stored?
Solution
They are stored as circular memory buffers on the device. If you run "adb logcat > myfile" on your host system, you can retrieve the content into a file.
OTHER TIPS
To get post-mortem information from a device it is helpful to see the timestamp as well. To let you know when the event occurred, try: adb logcat -d -v time > logfile.txt
If you just want to see the current contents of the log, you can do adb logcat -d > myfile
It will exit after dumping the log.
(suravi's suggestion would be good if you wanted to watch the log while testing.)
