LogCat Stops Running in Eclipse Needs Restart
Periodically LogCat will stop showing messages even though I am in debug mode. At other times it will display only one line at a time! I have a solution, restart eclipse. But I would like to understand this better. It takes too much time to restart eclipse when this happens. I have seen this behavior on the emulator and connected to a device. Either the LogCat shows one line with no history or nothing.
I was with the same problem and the solutions here didn't work for me. The solution I found is open the DDMS perspective and select the device and the running process on the Devices window. With that done, the LogCat returns to life.
Yes, I can get the normal logcat back by clear the log. Also I uncheck the "Limit console output" in Run/Debug->Console.
I solve these LogCat issues in two different ways:
- Clearing the log to fix the one line at a time issue
- Opening the devices window (
Window->Show View->Other->Android->Devices), and clicking on the device that I want to view the log for. This seems to force Android to refresh LogCat on that device.
These are much easier options than restarting eclipse, or messing with adb.
