Many times I get quirky behavior from my Defy with CM7, and when weird stuff
happens I go to alogcat and save the log, vowing to look at it later.
Well, I've got 53 logs on my SD card now, and I have no idea what the weird
behavior was or why I saved it.
It would be great to allow the user to enter a really quick summary of what was
going on, that could be placed at the beginning of the file. Because people
perhaps parse these logs with other tools, maybe the entry itself could obey
the same rules as other log entries:
03-13 16:31:01.063 I/aLogCat(xxxx): Here is the user comment regarding this log
file.
The comment would ideally be the first line in the log.
I planned to work on this sometime in the future, let me know what you think.

2. input "line1" <return> "line2"
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The filter settings text input only shows the last line of text. And visually
it looks like only a single line of text can be entered (i.e. no line break
character). Please either don't accept line break as input or use a control
which looks like a multi line input. The current implementation does not match
common user experience.

I really like this App. Clean and simple interface.
I like the auto-scroll feature as well, but often I scroll upwards in the list
of entries, just to check something out. And when I forget to "pause" the
playback first, it jacks me down to the bottom again when new entries arrive.
It got a bit frustrating, so I download the source code and made the following
changes:
private void cat(String s) {
...
mLogEntryAdapter.add(entry);
if (mPrefs.isAutoScroll() && isAtBottomOfLog()) {
mLogList.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
mLogList.setSelection(mLogEntryAdapter.getCount() - 1);
}
});
}
private boolean isAtBottomOfLog() {
// Add one to getLastVisiblePosition to account
// for the new entry just added and not yet scrolled
return mLogList.getLastVisiblePosition() == -1 ||
mLogList.getLastVisiblePosition() +1 == mLogList.getCount() -1;
}
Now it only auto-scrolls if I'm already at the bottom of the list.
Your welcome to use the the above as you see fit, or to disregard it. Thanks
for a great tool.

Currently the filter only permits a single substring search.
There have been multiple occasions where I have wanted to filter on multiple
items.
I'm not certain how this might be best implemented. Either as multiple filters
or a defined separator character such as a pipe. Adding separator character
style would be a quick hack.

log filter input always caps the first word. this is because we changed the
android:inputType to "textCaps*". this limits the input to a single line which
was another issue, but we should probably use one of the other input types,
like "text". need to test though if this limits to single line as expected.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start aLogcat
2. Exit aLogcat (eg. by pressing Back button)
3. Check with "adb shell ps" for running 'logcat' processes
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
No logcat process started by aLogcat should be running.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.3.4 on a HTC Hero (Android 1.5)
Please provide any additional information below.
As I understand aLogcat starts 'logcat' processes on the phone, to obtain
the log messages.
For a clean shutdown it should either:
--------------------------------------
- kill the created processes itself (maybe in onPause() or on click to a
dedicated exit button?)
- or take care that the Android kernel's internal lowmemory killer can kill
the processes by setting the oom_adj value of the process accordingly (as
per default the processes get an oom_adj value of 0 which is the same as
FOREGROUND_APP so the lowmemory killer never will kill these processes.
For both options you need to know the PID of the spawn child processes.
It's possible to retrieve iT on Android by using reflection:
// start child process
java.lang.Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( ... );
// try to get PID of child logcat process (for later killing)
int childPid = -1;
if (android.os.Process.supportsProcesses() &&
process.getClass().getName().equals("java.lang.ProcessManager$ProcessImpl")) {
try {
Field f = process.getClass().getDeclaredField("id");
f.setAccessible(true);
childPid = f.getInt(process);
} catch (Throwable e) {
childPid = -1;
}
}

The correct tag should be:

2. Since SDK version 4 you should add a permission to write to SD card. Please
add:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

Original issue reported on code.google.com by [email protected]
on 24 Sep 2010 at 3:20
What steps will reproduce the problem?
0. Write an app *without* the READ_LOGS permission
1. Have the app send a 'start logging' intent to aLogCat
2. Have the app send a 'save to the sdcard' intent to aLogCat
3. Have the app read the log from the sdcard
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected result if you don't have permission to read logs is that you
shouldn't be able to read the logs. Instead, it appears you're able to read
the logs by getting aLogCat to read them for you and then leave them where they
can be read by anyone.
Please provide any additional information below.
This is not the first bug of this kind found. See
http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/11/researchers-find-big-leaks-in-pr
e-installed-android-apps.ars for similar security holes.
Potential solutions:
i) Have an option to turn on and off those intent receivers in aLogCat.
ii) Have a new permission required to send those intents. Better still, require the app sending the intents to have the READ_LOGS permission to send the intents - that way you don't have to worry about dealing with new permissions. See http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/security.html#manifest
iii) An option that combines i) and ii): Have an option in aLogCat that allows you to specify who can send the events. Anyone, apps with log viewing permissions, or no-one. This is more complex than ii), or even i) and ii) together, as it requires turning on and off the required permissions programatically with Context.registerReceiver() rather than just adding a line to manifest as option ii) would.

request from user is to increase log buffer size, to capture events that happen
further in the past.
alogcat has a static number of events it will display. i think this is
necessary for performance. if it is set to display all log events in the
buffer, this could be arbitrarily large and bring the app to a grinding halt.
therefore, i think the best solution is the following ...
first, when alogcat sends or saves a log, it should capture all log events in
the buffer, not just the ones being displayed. actually, allowing this for send
might be questionable. will have to see how it performs.
second, allow the user to set the log file size. this can be done by invoking
logcat with the -r, -n, and -f options. it should probably give some fixed
values to keep the user from setting something arbitrarily large. perhaps 16,
64, 256, and 1024k.
with this, although the user won't be allows to view an arbitrarily large log,
they can send it in email (maybe), or dump it to the SD card.
implementation wise this is pretty simple. we need to add a size option to the
menu, and modify the implementation of send and save to exec logcat and capture
the output instead of looking at the events being displayed.

The Top/Bottom items in the option menu are very useful, but it takes a lot of
clicks to access them.
I downloaded the code an added the menu items to the context menu also, i.e.
the menu that appear when you long-click the ListView. The menu items are bit
more accessible from there, I think.
To get it to work, I added android:longClickable="true" to the entry.xml,
registered an OnCreateContextMenuListener on the ListView in the onResume()
method and unregistered it in the onPause() method.
Again, thanks for a great App.
