[SOLVED] logcat just for android debug app?

[alberto_lara]

Hi, I'm testing an application running in Martin's android apk for löve, what I want to do is get the output just from this app using logcat (from print lua calls). I understand the right way is to use a tag, like here but I'm not sure which tag should I use (or if that even applies for this case). Thanks in advance.

The printed string starts with [LOVE2D], but I don't think there is any kind of filter set up sorry... Maybe you can change the code and make a PR! It would be helpful

I think you can filter by package name, I'm fairly sure everything is logged from the org.love2d.android package.

That was the first think I though as well but was unable to make it work (or maybe I'm doing something wrong). I read the docs here but I'm still confused, judging for what it's in the non-filtered logcat (the 1st line is a print() call):



I assume the tag I should use is "LOVE", something like this:

Code: Select all

adb logcat LOVE:I *:S

but that didn't work either.

I tried the package way but same results (I'm still thinking I'm doing something wrong)

EDIT: As a workaround I'm using this answer, it seems to work (I would prefer the "official" way though)

I think I filtered by SDL/APP and SDL I think I used SDL:D *:S but I'm not sure I did it the other day.

Edit: I essentially filtered by the activity I guess.

[master both]

If it help anyone, I just use "adb logcat -s SDL/APP" and it does the job well enough.

I tried

Code: Select all

adb logcat -s SDL:D *:S

but I don't get any output, just this one:

Code: Select all

[g@pc susse_mobile]$ adb logcat -s SDL:D *:S
--------- beginning of main
--------- beginning of system
I/SDL     (24148): SDL_Android_Init()
I/SDL     (24148): SDL_Android_Init() finished!

This worked as expected:

Code: Select all

adb logcat -s SDL/APP

thanks!
