Android – How to get Logcat for multiple devices running at the same time in Eclipse

androideclipselogcat

I have two android devices connected to the same station. I would like to view the logcat for both while running them in debug mode in eclipse.

I have had SOME luck with the following steps:

Run the app on Device 1
Run the app on Device 2
Open a new window (window/new)
In the new window, open view logcat

About 40% of the time this results in in each eclipse window showing data from a different phone… but not always. It seems to be almost a luck-of-the-draw kind of thing. More often than not both windows show the same device. If I open device viewer and select a device in either window both change.

How can I do this all the time?

This is a very late reply but probably you didn't find a solution.

Solution:

Click Window ---> Show View ---> Other ---> Android ---> Devices.

Simply click on a device to switch to its logcat.

Android adb “Unable to open sync connection!”

I was having exactly the same problem, but I already had my phone connected to the computer's USB port. Sometimes disconnecting and reconnecting the cord worked but then it stopped working completely. However, disabling USB debugging on the phone and then re-enabling it has worked so far. Hopefully it keeps working! These fixes really seem like silly hacks.. I'm not sure what the underlying problem is.

Android – How to you get the build/version number of your Android application

Use:

try {
    PackageInfo pInfo = context.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(context.getPackageName(), 0);
    String version = pInfo.versionName;
} catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

And you can get the version code by using this

int verCode = pInfo.versionCode;
