Hi Dave, and thank you for your message. I'm still not clear on where I
find the adb command? Did you mean within the Android Studio interface
or a DOS prompt or elsewhere? When I press Space or Enter to click on
the Profile or Debug APK button, it prompts me to "Please select the
file to debug. Hide path Drag or drop a file into the path above to
quickly locate it in the tree". And in the edit field the C:\ drive/path
is presented.
Also, when sending you the log, do I need to email it via my phone, or
can I copy it over to my computer and email it in Thunderbird, which is
my email client? (I've never used the phone for emailing, so I was
hoping to be able to email it using my Windows machine, or would this
cause a problem given the Android device is the one for which the log is
needed?)
Regards
Vivien

I have downloaded and installed the latest Windows 64-bit version. I chose the
Standard installation, not Custom, during the installation. Is this okay or did
I need the Custom installation?
Standard should be fine.
I also pressed Enter on "Enable screenreader support", though this screen
wasn't a link or button.
I've no idea what that does.
I'm presented with several options now, such as "Create New Project", "Open an Existing Project",
"Get from Version Control", "Profile or Debug APK" etc.
So now you can start doing some Android software development. Can't wait to try
out your first app! :-)
I'm guessing I need the "Profile or Debug APK" button? How do I proceed from
here?
Find the adb command. Then give it a try after connecting your phone to your
computer via USB. The first time, you'll probably need to confirm on your phone
that your computer is allowed to communicate with it.
The command you want to use is "adb logcat" (without the quotes). Use the >
character to tell adb where to write the log. Also, use the -d (which stands for dump)
option to tell adb to get the log and then stop (else it'll monitor the log forever). So,
use a command like this:
adb logcat -d >/path/to/file
When you get the hang of it then do whatever causes your problem, grab a copy
of the log, and send it to me. Please dno't post your log publicly (i.e. to
this mailing list) because it might contain personal information.
