Why are some messages in the log tab masked with *****?

What do i need to do to unmask them?

It is a great Idea to hide all relevant infos from your Post.
How should we know which lines you are talking about?

Oh i thought it was a setting problem instead of a coding issue because it always happens so i misexpected that people who have met a similar issue and changed some setting would immediately gets the point.

For example whenever i log an url such as log("https://www.google.com") the log will turn into ******.

For some other words it does the same but i didnt capture them all, simply found it inconvent.

Today I want to double check some calculations in running such as but it logs as "-0.1*****" so it is very inconvenient for me to check the data

We are still flying somewhat blind. ?

If you could please post the Log code line(s) - ideally Logging an obvious string literal like your log("[URL]https://www.google.com[/URL]") - and a screenshot of the Log panel showing the resultant output, that'd be great.

I've sometimes experienced missing or duplicated Log lines, but I've never seen it "redacted" like you're describing. The only plausible explanation I have so far is that maybe you have some kind of anti-malware privacy software running on your Windows computer that masks text that looks like personal information eg url, phone number, email addresses. ?

Btw we're talking B4A, right? Not B4I or B4J?

That's weird.
I tried

B4X:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("Layout")
    Log("https://www.google.com")
End Sub

and got

Maybe you could try to download again the Java JDK and make a new Android SDK folder.
Reinstall B4A too.
I don't know what to say.

<JOKE> but looking on the bright side, at least you can confirm that your calculations are correct to within an order of magnitude </JOKE>
