How to do a logcat
Posted: Mon Oct 08, 2012 12:07 am
The steps are a little different if you are not on Windows, but since most people are I will go ahead and write a quick tutorial for Windows and if you are on a different OS let me know and I will point out where you do things differently or use different tools.
As I said in my previous post it isn't hard and there are actually a lot of tutorials available just google 'how to create logcat on android'.
Step 1. Download the Android SDK from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and install it. *Remember the path you install it to, you will need it later.*
Step 2. Download the latest Java JDK from here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... index.html and install it.
Step 3. Download the Logcat-Tool from here: https://code.google.com/p/logcat-tool/
Step 4. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your device and plug it in to your computer via a USB cable.
Step 5. Run the Logcat-Tool downloaded above.*You may need to run as administrator in Windows.* This is where you need to remember the path you installed the SDK to. We actually need a part of the SDK called ADB that allows the computer and phone to talk to each other.
Step 6. Put the correct path into the Logcat-Tool. Make sure to include the \platform-tools at the end of your path.
Step 7. Start the log file (option 6 in the Logcat-Tool).
Step 8. Start Andors Trail on your phone and have the glitch occur.
Step 9. Follow the directions in the Logcat-Tool to save the log and unplug your phone.
Step 10. Send us the log file and we are hopefully one step closer to fixing a bug!
Let me know if anything needs more clarification.
