Facing issues with Logcat not displaying logs while running your Android application in Android Studio can be quite frustrating. This is a common problem that developers encounter, but fortunately, there are several solutions you can try to resolve this issue.
Understanding the Problem
Sometimes, when you run an application (as opposed to debugging it), Logcat might not show any logs. This can happen due to a variety of reasons such as incorrect filter settings or issues with the Android Debug Bridge (ADB).
Steps to Resolve the Issue
1. Check Logcat Filter Settings
The issue might be as simple as having the wrong filter selected in Logcat. Ensure that the dropdown filter is set to No Filters or Show only selected application to display logs for your app specifically.
2. Restart ADB
In some cases, restarting ADB can resolve the issue. You can do this by executing the following commands in your terminal:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
3. Use Keyboard Shortcuts
If Logcat is hidden, you can try pressing Alt + 6 to open the Log tab in Android Studio.
4. Invalidate Caches and Restart
Navigate to File > Invalidate Caches / Restart and select Invalidate and Restart. This can help in refreshing the environment and resolving any persistent issues.
5. Check Device Connection
If you are using a real device, try unplugging and re-plugging the USB cable. This can sometimes reset the connection and allow logs to appear.
