Oh, I do have root on my test device.
The log is a 64KB buffer in the kernel. When you initially "logcat" a device it dumps the contents of the buffer and then just starts reeling out whatever gets added. You can use something like: % adb shell # logcat > /sdcard/log.txt & and then retrieve the log at a later time. (I think adb gets a little weird about the background process; just disconnect the phone and go about your day.) If you have a term program you can examine /sdcard/log.txt from the device. You can't issue the logcat from the term program because your app won't have permission, but if you have a rooted device you can "su" and start it from there. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
