I am recently new to b4a and trying to develop on a device i bought fairly cheaply on amazon however logcat does not work. It works fine on my emulated device, but not when i use b4a bridge. It doesnt show any logs, nor does it show activitycreate, pause or resume etc. I tried using Log Viewer v1.2 which again works fine for emulator but not for my device when i connect using b4a bridge.
My device I am using is on amazon:
7" inch Touch Screen Allwinner A13 1.0GHz CPU Android 4.0 Tablet PC 4GB HDD 512MB WiFi (Blue)
Model number Q8
Android version: 4.1.1
Kernel version: 3.0.8-InfoTMIC
jerry@ubuntu#1
Build number: JRO03H.eng.jerry.20131024.120002
I understand that occasionally the kernel can block logcat output? Is this my problem? Should I root my device and update the kernel to see if this helps? If so, could someone recommend a web page with a kernel that would work for my device to me as I have not done it before.
Many thanks
