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

You can do this with logcat. You can add a view that will only show log entries from your app and it will be continuously updated.
