How To Filter Only My Application Log In Intellij's Logcat?

On IntelliJ, i'm trying to read the logcat for seeking errors. The problem is that all the applications' log are present in the 'Android' Window. How to only display the log that

Solution 1:

Filtering based on an application (package) is not available in IntelliJ IDEA (current version: 12).

Solution 2:

EDIT: Everything above the horizontal rule is my new answer (updated 5/17/13):

I'd suggest moving over to the new Android Studio IDE (which is based of IntelliJ). This allows filtering by package name.

You can vote for the feature to be added here: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-95780

In the meantime, you may think about wrapping the Android Log class to add a suffix/prefix that you could then filter by. Something like the following:

/**
 * Wrapper for the Android {@link Log} class.
 * <br><br>
 * The primary reason for doing this is to add a unique prefix to all tags for easier filtering
 * in IntelliJ IDEA (since in v12 there is no way to filter by application).

    privatestatic final StringFILTER = "(MY APP) ";

    publicstaticvoidd(String tag, String message) {
        Log.d(tag.concat(FILTER), message);
    }

    publicstaticvoidi(String tag, String message) {
        Log.i(tag.concat(FILTER), message);
    }

    publicstaticvoidv(String tag, String message) {
        Log.v(tag.concat(FILTER), message);
    }

    publicstaticvoide(String tag, String message) {
        Log.e(tag.concat(FILTER), message);
    }

    publicstaticvoidw(String tag, String message) {
        Log.w(tag.concat(FILTER), message);
    }

    publicstaticvoidwtf(String tag, String message) {
        Log.wtf(tag.concat(FILTER), message);
    }
}

Solution 3:

You can filter by the process ID (PID):

The only drawback is that PID changes and you will have to adjust the filter after every app restart.

Solution 4:

Depends on what you're trying to do. In the logcat window, you should have an [non]empty window named "Filters" with a + or - next to it (as it appears in IntelliJ IDEA 12) and it'll pop up a window like this:

If the Log Tag isn't what you need, you can filter based on a regexp in the log message itself (e.g. if the message always starts with seek error, then input seek and it should find it. If you set Log Level to Verbose it should match anything that gets written to logcat.
