Android Question Remote logger ?

[marcick]

Is there any way to remote connect to a device with TeamViewer and see the generated logs, as if the device is locally connected to the IDE ?

If you have an Premium Teamvieweraccount with mobile addon then you´ll be able to connect to the device with teamviewer.
BUT "seeing the devices screen" does not enable you to get any LOG-Output
So; the answer is NO

Isn't it possible to write an app that when started record in a file all the log output of the device ?
Actually I have a problem with my app on a customer device. I see with TeamViewer that it crashes as it is started but without any message. Almost impossible to discover why without the log...

Maybe it is possible on older devices. Or rooted ones.
But i think on newer devices a app dont have access to the systems catlog (starting android 4.1+? 4.4+?)

Thanks .. :-(

You can write such an app. Each process can read its own logs. Prior to v4.1 it was possible to read the logs of all apps.

Check LogCat from the Phone library.

Thanks Erel.
Which is the best place to put the code so that it catches everything ? (I have services called without an activity running (sms capture), starter service, code module ...)

 

[Erel]

The starter service is the best place for it.

Note that the LogCat event is a special event and it runs in a different thread.
