I was wondering if anybody knows a way that i can get the logcat while running automated tests using Appium for android mobile device. I'm using Java and I'm in a windows environment.
Any ideas? Thanks!!

You can use this implementation:
List<LogEntry> logEntries = driver.manage().logs().get("logcat").getAll();
Before quitting the driver. Then just print the list to an external file.
The method will look something like that:
public static void captureLog(AppiumDriver driver, String testName)
throws Exception {
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd_MM_yyyy_HH-mm-ss");
Date today = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
String reportDate = df.format(today);
String logPath = "C:\\automation_capture\\";
log.info(driver.getSessionId() + ": Saving device log...");
List<LogEntry> logEntries = driver.manage().logs().get("logcat").filter(Level.ALL);
File logFile = new File(logPath + reportDate + "_" + testName + ".txt");
PrintWriter log_file_writer = new PrintWriter(logFile);
log_file_writer.println(logEntries );
log_file_writer.flush();
log.info(driver.getSessionId() + ": Saving device log - Done.");
}
}
But be carefully! Function .getTimestamp() for single LogEntry returns incorrect value
List<LogEntry> adbLogs = driver().manage().logs().get("logcat").filter(Level.ALL);
log.info("First timestamp: " + adbLogs.get(0).getTimestamp());
log.info("Last timestamp: " + adbLogs.get(adbLogs.size()-1).getTimestamp());
Output (it's a bit formatted):
First timestamp: 1 514 841 545 766
Last timestamp: 1 514 841 594 154
A part of real logcat:
1514841545767 01-01 19:39:48.570 bla-bla-bla-first-record
1514841594154 01-01 23:19:53.440 bla-bla-bla-last-record
You can use:
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("//Users//.....//.....//android-sdk-macosx//platform-tools//adb logcat -d");
