android-logcateclipse
I am taking android logs using Logcat in Eclipse. But, they disappear very quickly from the Logcat screen.
Is there a way to either:
increase the buffer size of the Logcat window, so that I can see the logs later on also as there would enough stored in the buffer?
Is there a way to save them to file through Eclipse at run time?
Thanks,
Sunny
This is possible with the menu items Window>Editor>Toggle Split Editor.
Current shortcut for splitting is:
- Ctrl + _ for split horizontally, and
- Ctrl + { for split vertically.
- Ctrl + Shift + - (accessing _) for split horizontally, and
- Ctrl + Shift + [ (accessing {) for split vertically.
MacOS - Qwerty US keyboard:
- ⌘ + Shift + - (accessing _) for split horizontally, and
- ⌘ + Shift + [ (accessing {) for split vertically.
On any other keyboard if a required key is unavailable (like { on a german Qwertz keyboard), the following generic approach may work:
- Alt + ASCII code + Ctrl then release Alt
Example: ASCII for '{' = 123, so press 'Alt', '1', '2', '3', 'Ctrl' and release 'Alt', effectively typing '{' while 'Ctrl' is pressed, to split vertically.
Example of vertical split:
PS:
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.

You can change the maximum number of logcat messages to buffer.
