Android logcat “application” column is always empty

Question

Android logcat \"application\" column is always empty. I have latest version of android tools.

Answer 1

I encountered this problem after going the route of "Help=>check for updates" to upgrade my eclipse ADT bundle to latest version of ADT plugin. Now there's a couple hours of my life that I'll never get back.....

Unfortunately, nothing I tried would be able to bring back the app name in the application column. In fact, I even got the ADB device offline problem at one point. The first sign that something was wrong was that my android device would show up in the DDMS perspective, but no package name was listed.

I ended up re-installing my ADT bundle (into a new folder), unplugging my device, rebooting, and starting everything up again and using the new ADT bundle.
