Answer 1

You can use Android Debug Monitor or DDMS without Eclipse.

Answer 2

I've tried logview-0.19 - works fine for my 13Mb logs.

Make sure to mark ./logview and ./lib/logview.jar as executable when running in Linux.

Answer 3

I like LogExpert. It has great filtering options and it is pretty fast. So I have created a custom columnizer that parses LogCat logs. It has some improvements to be able to parse my custom logs with method and line. You can download it here.

Answer 5

Desktop tool for reading android logcat log file, the same as DDMS. The purpose of this tool is to allow developers to quickly locate, analyze, problem-solving, rather than struggling in the log file.

Answer 6

I've tweaked log4j Chainsaw V2 and the (VFS)LogFilePatternReceiver to allow Chainsaw to read events from Android log files generated via logcat -v time

Download the latest developer snapshot of Chainsaw (Mac DMG and tarball available): http://people.apache.org/~sdeboy

Save this XML off as a file (after tweaking the fileURL):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/" debug="true">
<plugin class="org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.vfs.VFSLogFilePatternReceiver" name="android-log">
    <param name="appendNonMatches" value="true"/>
    <param name="autoReconnect" value="true"/>
    <param name="fileURL" value="file:/path/to/android/log"/>
    <param name="name" value="android-log"/>
    <param name="logFormat" value="TIMESTAMP LEVEL/LOGGER(PROP(PID)):MESSAGE"/> 
    <param name="customLevelDefinitions" value="V=TRACE,D=DEBUG,I=INFO,W=WARN,E=ERROR,F=FATAL,S=OFF"/>
    <param name="promptForUserInfo" value="false"/>
    <param name="tailing" value="true"/>
    <param name="timestampFormat" value="yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss.SSS"/>
    <param name="waitMillis" value="2000"/>
</plugin>
</log4j:configuration>

And then after starting Chainsaw, select the 'Use a Chainsaw config file' option from the 'File, load Chainsaw configuration' menu, browse to this XML file, select 'always start Chainsaw with this configuration' and press OK.
