Android Studio Dolphin's Logcat stopped working for the filter?

Question

With 'Android Studio Dolphin | 2021.3.1', I am trying to get logs for my application with the Classname (which is used as TAG for Logs) but nothing is showing up. Sometimes, it doesn't show any logs with the filter package:mine or package:'my.package.name'. Is this a known issue?

Update: reported on google's board : https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/258502193

Answer 1

One solution(time-consuming) which helped me is:

1. Close the current/all Logcat tab/s
2. Disconnect the device/emulator.
3. Restart IDE. (wait for some time if possible)
4. Start new Logcat windows.

Update: The second solution is to turn off the experimental Logcat window:

1. Select Android Studio > Preferences
2. Go to the Experimental tab
3. Un-check the 'Enable new Logcat tool window' option.

Update (Nov,22): The quick solution that worked for me:

1. Change your Log.d() statements to System.out.println(), and filter it with the keyword added in println() statements.

Answer 2

I had the same problem (also using . I'm assuming it's related to the new Logcat tool window, so I just turned it off. The 'old' version is working for me. Maybe they'll fix it in the next update and I can try the new version.

• File > Settings > Experimental > Logcat
• then clear the checkbox for 'Enable new Logcat tool window'

It seems to be a bug, there are two options, I prefer the second way cause it doesn't restart the whole IDE.

First solution:
Select the File menu > Invalidate Caches > Invalidate and Restart

Second solution:
Open the terminal from the bottom panel (tabs on the left corner).
Run these two commands:

adb kill-server
adb start-server
