Read logcat programmatically within application

2019-01-01 05:25发布

I want to read and react to logcat logs within my application.

I found the following code:

try {
  Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("logcat -d");
  BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(
  new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));

  StringBuilder log=new StringBuilder();
  String line = "";
  while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
    log.append(line);
  }
  TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
  tv.setText(log.toString());
  } 
catch (IOException e) {}

This code indeed returns the logcat logs that made until the application was started -

But is it possible to continuously listen to even new logcat logs?

The "-c" flag clears the buffer.

-c Clears (flushes) the entire log and exits.

Here is a quick put-together/drop-in that can be used for capturing all current, or all new (since a last request) log items.

You should modify/extend this, because you might want to return a continuous-stream rather than a LogCapture.

The Android LogCat "Manual": https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/logcat.html import android.util.Log;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Stack;

In your project which performs activity logging:

Logger log = new Logger("SuperLog");
// perform logging methods

When you want to capture everything you logged through "Logger"

LogCapture capture = Logger.getLogCat("main");

When you get hungry and you want to snack on more logs

LogCapture nextCapture = capture.getNextCapture();

You can get the capture as a string with

String captureString = capture.toString();

Or you can get the log items of the capture with

String logItem = capture.log.get(itemNumber);

There is no exact static method to capture foreign log keys but there is a way none the less

LogCapture foreignCapture = Logger.getLogCat("main", null, foreignCaptureKeyList);

Using the above will also permit you to call Logger.this.nextCapture on the foreign capture.

You can keep reading the logs, just by removing the "-d" flag in your code above.

The "-d" flag instruct to logcat to show log content and exit. If you remove the flag, logcat will not terminate and keeps sending any new line added to it.

Just have in mind that this may block your application if not correctly designed.

good luck.

You can clear your logcat with this method i'm using to clear after writing logcat to a file to avoid duplicated lines:

public void clearLog(){
     try {
         Process process = new ProcessBuilder()
         .command("logcat", "-c")
         .redirectErrorStream(true)
         .start();
    } catch (IOException e) {
    }
}

            //CLEAR LOGS
            Runtime.getRuntime().exec("logcat -c");
            //LISTEN TO NEW LOGS
            Process pq=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("logcat v main");
            BufferedReader brq = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pq.getInputStream()));
            String sq="";
            while ((sq = brq.readLine()) != null)
            {
              //CHECK YOUR MSG HERE 
              if(sq.contains("send MMS with param"))
              {
              }
            }

I am using this in my app and it works . And you can use above code in Timer Task so that it wont stop your main thread

        Timer t;
        this.t.schedule(new TimerTask()
        {
          public void run()
          {
            try
            {
                ReadMessageResponse.this.startRecord();//ABOVE METHOD HERE

            }
            catch (IOException ex)
            {
              //NEED TO CHECK SOME VARIABLE TO STOP MONITORING LOGS 
              System.err.println("Record Stopped");
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            finally
            {
                ReadMessageResponse.this.t.cancel();
            }
          }
        }, 0L);
      }
