How can I run logcat on multiple devices at the same time? "adb logcat" command gives an error:
error: more than one device and emulator

Use the -s
option of adb
:
adb -s <serialnumber>
Example
C:\Users\lel>adb devices
List of devices attached
192.168.198.101:5555 device
0123456789ABCDEF device
adb -s 0123456789ABCDEF logcat
adb -s 192.168.198.101:5555 logcat
You can combine grep
whit this, to get all lines that contain it.
an example is with System.out
Example:
adb -s 192.168.198.101:5555 logcat | grep "System.out"
I thought it might be useful. I have this script that helps me a lot. It logcats each device to a different file. To stop logging just press CTRL+C.
#! /bin/bash
devices=`adb devices | grep 'device$' | cut -f1`
pids=""
for device in $devices
do
log_file="$device-`date +%d-%m-%H:%M:%S`.log"
echo "Logging device $device to \"$log_file\""
adb -s $device logcat -v threadtime > $log_file &
pids="$pids $!"
done
echo "Children PIDs: $pids"
killemall()
{
echo "Killing children (what a shame...)"
for pid in $pids
do
echo "Killing $pid"
kill -TERM $pid
done
}
trap killemall INT
wait
Use your device ip:
adb -s device_ip:5555
