It would be good for Android phones to have a rolling log file that doubles as a console. That way, when there are problems with applications in production, the user can simply push the logs to a server - just as Microsoft does now. It is weird for developers to not have familiar tools like e.printstacktrace() or System.out.println(). Instead we have something rather inconvenient to use:
http://code.google.com/android/reference/adb.html "By default, the Android system sends stdout and stderr (System.out and System.err) output to /dev/null. In processes that run the Dalvik VM, you can have the system write a copy of the output to the log file. In this case, the system writes the messages to the log using the log tags stdout and stderr, both with priority I. To route the output in this way, you stop a running emulator/device instance and then use the shell command setprop to enable the redirection of output. Here's how you do it: $ adb shell stop $ adb shell setprop log.redirect-stdio true $ adb shell start" thanks, Anil --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
