View device logs (Android)

You can view the Android device logs in a browser on your development machine.

Before you begin:

  • Your app must be able to run in development mode or be the deployed debug version of the app.
  • You must physically connect the device to your computer using a USB cable. Wireless debugging from within Genero Studio is not supported.
  1. If you are going to run your app in developer mode, complete these steps.
    1. From Genero Studio, launch your app.
    2. Select Tools > Android Tools > Show Device Logs.
      The device logs display in the Output view. New log entries will be appended in real time.
  2. If you are going to run the deployed debug version of your app, complete these steps.
    1. To run the app from your device, launch your app in debug mode.
      The application launches and the initial form displays.
    2. Swipe down on the icon bar and locate the entry for the Debug service. Make a note of the URI address provided.
      The URI takes the form of http://<device_ip_address>:<port_number>.
    3. Open a browser and enter in the URI from the previous step.
    4. Click Android Logcat.
