You can get all logs with the logcat command. You can try something like:

public static void printLog(Context context){
    String filename = context.getExternalFilesDir(null).getPath() + File.separator + "my_app.log";
    String command = "logcat -d *:V";

    Log.d(TAG, "command: " + command);

    try{
        Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);

        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
        String line = null;
        try{
            File file = new File(filename);
            file.createNewFile();
            FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(file);
            while((line = in.readLine()) != null){
                writer.write(line + "\n");
            }
            writer.flush();
            writer.close();
        }
        catch(IOException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
    catch(IOException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
