Logcat Show Invisible Messages in Eclipse Mars

Logcat show invisible messages in Eclipse Mars

I had a similar problem (Eclipse Mars on Arch Linux) and it turned out to be a GTK issue.
The solution was to add the following two lines

--launcher.GTK_version
2

in eclipse.ini right before the

--launcher.appendVmargs

line, as explained in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=200053
Note that the location of eclipse.ini is distro specific (in my case it was under /usr/lib/eclipse) and multiple copies of the file in different directories can override the same setting, so make sure you are adding the lines in the right place.

Eclipse LogCat shows only the first letter from each message

Here is how to fix it:

1. exit eclipse

2. open up the file

   ~/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.prefs

3. Then cut and paste this in over the existing

   ddms.logcat.automonitor.level=error
   ddms.logcat.automonitor=false
   ddms.logcat.automonitor.userprompt=true
   logcat.view.colsize.Level=54
   eclipse.preferences.version=1
   logcat.view.colsize.Application=169
   logcat.view.colsize.Time=156
   logcat.view.colsize.Tag=124
   logcat.view.colsize.PID=54
   logcat.view.colsize.Text=590
   

4. Restart eclipse

Eclipse LogCat - Not Working

If the LogCat is empty, the emulator doesn't have the focus. Go to the DDMS perspective and try clicking on the 'emulator' entry in the Devices panel (top-left screen).

Same thing with a device. You just have to click on the entry representing that device and the log messages comes.

Why doesn't logcat show anything in my Android?

Maybe you have Mylyn installed?

How to make Eclipse LogCat display all columns?

First of all, just create the file with the name : com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.prefs you already written.

After that for invisible log messages and columns : I made it work by making one change at a time like this:

First just add those lines and save the file, restart Eclipse.

ddms.logcat.auotmonitor.level=error  
ddms.logcat.automonitor=false  
eclipse.preferences.version=1  
ddms.logcat.automonitor.userprompt=true  
logcat.view.colsize.Level=54 

Exit eclipse, add the lines below one at a time, restart eclipse, exit eclipse.. repeat the process for all lines once.

logcat.view.colsize.Application=169  
logcat.view.colsize.Time=156  
logcat.view.colsize.Tag=124  
logcat.view.colsize.PID=54  
logcat.view.colsize.Text=202

At the end of this annoying process, you should have all columns in logcat that you had written on that file.(com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.prefs)

getting blank screen in logcat

Update your ADT plugin in Eclipse and right now you are using deprecated Logcat.
