System.out.println in android?

Question

Is there any way that I can view my print statements in android studio without displaying the time and directory? It\'s extremely distracting and hard to debug when that text is

Answer 1

try to use Log.d("message to show in log console")

Answer 2

In the Android Monitor view in Android Studio (tested on Version 1.3), in the vertical toolbar inside the "logcat" tab, you will find a gear-shaped toolbar button. Click that, and you will get a "Configure LogCat Header" dialog with checkboxes to allow you to toggle on and off various pieces of what gets displayed:

Uncheck the items that you do not want (e.g., "Show time"). Note that LogCat does not show any "directory" except with respect to something you log yourself. My guess is that by "directory" you are referring to the package name.

This does not appear to affect existing messages, but should affect any future ones appended to the LogCat transcript.

Answer 3

You should use Log.d(tag, message). See here for the documentation.
