I want to write some information to logcat but I want to specify the color of these texts , is it possible to do that ?
Window -> Preferences -> Android -> Logcat -> Colors
You can change some specific Logcat Message Colors from here (like Debug, Error messages).
If you want to use a Windows script, you can also check this link:

If your using Android Studio, you can change the colours, by clicking, Settings - Editor - Colours & Font - Android Logcat. You can then choose custom colours, for the Logcat level (Error, warning ...)

I recently disabled the XML attribute inspector that would prompt messages such as the below in the XML in real time before running the app. Now since I disabled it I am only able to see the errors when I run my app.
How can i turn on the instant "Attribute inspector" back on?
It would be displayed as a red light bulb to the left of the XML such as:
Android Studio -> Preferences -> Editor -> Inspections
Press on "reset" at the upper right corner, or if it is not there, then search for "xml" and check the appropriate fields according to your needs.
File>Setting>Editor>Code style>Inspection>
Try checking/unchecking some Android>Lint>...
How can I change the occurrence/write occurrence color in Android Studio? Is this even possible? In Eclipse it was found (on a Mac) under Preferences->General->Editors->Text Editors->Annotations
Does Android Studio even provide this option? It's a number of small annoyances like this (as well as the massive performance issues it seems to be having thus far) that prevent me from moving to Android Studio.
Currently running Android Studio 1.2 Beta if that helps.
Go to menu
Preferences > Editor > Color&Fonts > General
Find "Identifier under caret" and change Foregound or/and Background colors with a color you wish. When you click a variable, it will be highlighted with the color you chose.
To mark selected occurrences in Android Studio you have to additionally use a shortcut
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+J
to mark them. Then all occurrences will be highlighted with darker better to see color. That option is also available in menu
Edit -> Find -> Select All Occurrences
Still if you want to change that color then you can find it in
File -> Settings -> Editor -> Colors & Fonts -> General -> Selection background
If you are using default scheme then you will have to save a new scheme to change selection background color.
Sadly I didn't find any option to change the color of selected occurrence after selecting class/variable (one click, like in Eclipse). I guess that there is no option for that yet.
I use eclipse luna and general>appearance is dark and color theme(seperate plugin) is sunburst.but logcat's color is very pale.
I tried to change Android>logcat>change and I changed black to white and applied.but When I reopen going black again and it does not change anything on the screen.

How do I make logcat's text more visible?
Go to
Window -> Preferences -> Android -> LogCat -> Colors
There you can change the text colors for the different message types, but you can't change the background color, to do that you have to play around with a mix of Eclipse themes and Windows themes.
Log cat in dark theme appears a bit dull and hard to read.
I changed font style to bold from Window -> Preferences -> Android -> LogCat -> Colors
And also made colors a bit bright.
So now its easily readable
I'm following a few tutorials in order to change my Logcat colors in Android Studio 0.6.1 without success.
To set it up I go to:
File -> Settings -> Editor -> Colours and Fonts -> Android Logcat
Once on Android Logcat, the foreground, background, etc. check boxes are all disabled.
Does anyone have an idea why?
Thanks in advance.
You cannot change the default so first you need to creat your own configuration by clicking on "save as" button.
After doing so there is a check-box below the all available color options, Entitled "Inherit Attributes From Console", Untick that checkbox will enable all color options for you.
To change the Logcat colors you can go to goto File > Settings or press Ctrl+Alt+S.
You can see this similar UI assuming you are using Darcula Theme
Note you need to unchecked Use inherited attributes in-order to modify the color.
Folks, please advice where can I change text color for the output in LogCat using Eclipse. Text color for exceptions is that I can't see it.
You will have to do it your self. In the meanwhile, you can use this script. The logcat output will look like this:
You can try to modify that script to make it show the Exceptions in the color you want.
For anyone who just wants to change the text color within Eclipse, go to
Window -> Preferences -> Android -> LogCat -> Colors
There you can change the text colors for the different message types, but you can't change the background color, to do that you have to play around with a mix of Eclipse themes and Windows themes.

Cristian's answer (to use the script) may well be the best one but if you have the ability to debug in real-time on a physical device, try using the DDMS tool in the Android 'tools' folder. It gives very readable output.
