Logging

Rather than use , DDMS lets you view your logging information in a scrollable table. Just highlight the emulator or device you want to monitor, and the bottom half of the screen shows the logs (see Figure 37‑9).

In addition, you can:

• Filter the Log tab by any of the five logging levels, shown as the V through E toolbar buttons.

• Create a custom filter, so you can view only those tagged with your application’s tag, by pressing the + toolbar button and completing the form. The name you enter in the form will be used as the name of another logging output tab in the bottom portion of the DDMS main window.

• Save the log information to a text file for later perusal, or for searching.
