How I can simulate “tail” command for file on the Android file system?

Question

I have file on SD-CARD and my app using it as log file. Is it possible through the adb to watch file with all changes in real time? Like with tail -f /sdcard/myfile.log

Answer 1

This seems to work great for me:

adb shell "while true; do cat; sleep 1; done < /sdcard/myfile.log"
