Answer 1

Update: nowadays PhoneGap is called Apache Cordova and if you want to use it to develop Android apps, you have to install Android Studio. To access logcat console from Android Studio, open your Android project (it is the platform/android folder inside your Cordova project) and select the menu Tools->Android->Android Device Monitor.

Android Device Monitor (AVD) can run alone, so you can create a direct access to avoid all this path. AVD will automatically get the log messages from your emulator launched with Cordova, and it allows you to easily set filters to reduce the big amount of output received from the emulator. I specially prefer to filter by application name.
