How to print on the console in Android Studio?

Question

I just downloaded Android Studio for Linux: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html

I am wondering how to print on the console?

System.out.print(...) and Log.e(...) from android.util.Log do not work.

Answer 1

Launch the application in debug mode by clicking

in the top menu of Android Studio.

In the bottom status bar, click the 5: Debug button next to the 4: Run button.

You should now select the Logcat console.

In the search field you can enter a tag for your message, and your message should appear, as in the following figure (where is the CREATION tag):

Answer 2

Android has its own way of printing messages (called logs ) on a console known as LogCat .

If you want to print something in LogCat , you use the Log object and specify the category of the message.

Main settings:

• DEBUG: Log.d
• ERROR: Log.e
• INFO: Log.i
• VERBOSE: Log.v
• WARN: Log.w

You print a message using the Log statement in your code, for example, in the following example:

 Log.d("myTag", "This is my message"); 

In Android Studio, you can search for log messages labeled myTag to easily find a message in LogCat . You can also filter logs by category, such as "Debug" or "Warn."

Answer 3

If the above solutions do not work, you can always see the output in Android Monitor .

Be sure to set the filter to Show only the selected application or create your own filter.
