How can I see a history of the terminal output, not just commands entered?

Solution 1:

You can append all logs to a text file by redirecting output. But this requires each command is executed like this (this will catch both stdout & stderr)

command >>file.txt 2>&1

OR

You can record screencasts of terminal, since it stores screencast in text file, you can use that. Its called shelr

Files are stored in ~/.local/share/shelr/

Note: I have no idea of android development.This answer is based on shell scripting.

Solution 2:

I had the same problem the other day, and I found this solution: http://sites.google.com/site/androidhowto/how-to-1/save-logcat-to-a-text-file

Maybe it's not the best thing you could do I think this is what you were asking for.
