Answer 1

press alt 6.

If you still don't see it there should be a little icon in the top-right corner of the view, press that.

Answer 2

While I would be a little late for the party, it has been a few years and new version of Studio.

Today when you encounter the bug, your logcat would not be shown, to resolve this you would need to follow these steps:

• Menu -> Build -> Make Project
• in your settings.gradle comment out everything and sync.
• uncomment everything and sync again.
• Menu -> Build -> Make Project
• Once the project build is done.. your Studio would be ready.

I have encountered several different bugs related to this issue, this scenario covers most of these cases.

No one has seemed to mention this, but make sure you are inside the "android" directory and not the root directory of your project (React Native). Logcat will not display otherwise.

Answer 4

In Android Monitor window, click the little tiny button on the top right corner.

Answer 5

Click on Android Monitor at the bottom of the screen.

and then you should see there are a tab call "Logcat" next to "Memory" tab.

➜ adb devices
