How to fix a blank LogCat window in Eclipse

by Josh Savage

Occasionally I’ve noticed LogCat disconnects from the emulator in Eclipse especially if you manage to crash your application. To reconnect it goto the DDMS view (click DDMS at the top of the Eclipse window) and then click on the emulator in the devices window and you should see the LogCat window jump back to life.

If all else fails you can get debug information by running “adb logcat” in a command prompt. You can also filter the results, for example, “adb logcat UserTag:D *:S” just shows debug messages with the UserTag.
