Filter tags in LogCat (in Android Eclipse Plug-In)

Question

There is a TextField \"Filter\" below the LogCat output. However, it seems to filter only the Message-column. Id like to filter Tags also. Because there are my class names.<

Answer 1

The Log tag field accepts Java regular expressions, so try this:

^TAG_A$|^TAG_B$

which matches exactly those tags. You can go crazy with complicated regular expressions, if that's your idea of fun.

Answer 2

A sample from the ADB manual:

adb logcat ActivityManager:I MyApp:D *:S

The *:S is vital as this would suppress other tags different than the ones specified by us.

Unfortunately, one can't use wildcards in the names, i.e.:

adb logcat ActivityManager:I MyApp*:D *:S

wouldn't work.

Answer 3

In LogCat's search textbox, you will see the hint text "Search for messages, Accepts Java regexes, Prefix with pid:, app:, tag: or text: to limit scope."

So just type in tag:YOUR_TAG_NAME
