Eclipse Android - Logcat Cleanup Too Fast

Question

I use Eclipse for Android (the most modern version), for some time without problems with Logcat. For an unknown reason, Logcat no longer saves debug messages. Logcat clears after about 5 seconds. Is there a way to prevent Logcat from automatically clearing messages? Otherwise, I can not read the messages.

Answer 1

Change the length of the LogCat buffer:

Window / Settings / Android / LogCat / Maximum number of LogCat messages in buffer _

Set to 0 for unlimited size (thanks to the commentator below)

Answer 2

This happens when there are too many logcat lines. It automatically deletes everything after reaching the maximum amount defined in the settings (5000 lines by default in Eclipse), both filtered and unfiltered lines.

In Fortunetly, you can change the maximum number to:

Window> Settings> Android> LogCat> Maximum number of LogCat messages in the buffer

I have the same problem, but only with Sony Xperia C and Android 4.2.2. Each phone has a different level of logging.

Answer 3

You can use breakpoints where you print messages and debug them with the F6 / F8 keys . Thus, you can see all the messages in a step .
