I am testing an android application in which I want to retrieve the text from a datainteraction object. Is there any code to do the same.
Below is the sample code which i did.
onData(anything()).inAdapterView(withId(R.id.procedureListView)).atPosition(i).onChildView(withId(R.id.workOrderStatus))).toString()
When I tried to run the code, it returns some random datainteraction object string which is not the expected one.
My package name is getting in the way of me easily reading my logcat messages. I have to scroll way to the right to see anything. Each line is preceded with:
08-07 00:52:58.237 16332-16332/com.mycompay.mypackage.mypackage/System.out:
How can I get rid of the package name there? And what is the 16332-16332 doing there? Can I get rid of that too?
For Custom Logcat You should read Write and View Logs with Logcat
Every Android log message has a tag and a priority associated with it.
The tag of a system log message is a short string indicating the
system component from which the message originates .
The log message FORMAT is:
date time PID-TID/package priority/tag: message
PID stands for process identifier and TID is thread identifier; they
can be the same if there’s only one thread.
People love visual answers, so I'll duplicate the comment here. I believe it will help you understand this faster.
#Mike Miller:
Check out the section titled "Configuring the logcat Header Display." Just click the settings icon on the left side of logcat
For android studio electric eel and above. Use the following icon to edit the logcat - https://i.stack.imgur.com/L6KBg.png
Intent.putExtra Error
I have no idea whats happening in my program.
I've tried parcelable, serializable, CharSequence & String.valueOf to avoid the error but it crash when I debuging run this line every time.
I check out most tutorial using same method but no error founded, What is the problem and how can I fix this.
Thank you.
object can't be put in extras directly it have to serialize then pass to intend
you can use this

In the Android Open Source Project's code style, it states that we shouldn't use System.out.println() but I don't understand why. Can anyone explain? What should I use to trace my app's log?
Here's the line for reference:
System.out.println() (or printf() for native code) should never be used. System.out and System.err get redirected to /dev/null, so your print statements will have no visible effects. However, all the string building that happens for these calls still gets executed.
You should use the android.util.Log class.
Here's a description of what the Log class does:
API for sending log output.
Generally, you should use the Log.v(), Log.d(), Log.i(), Log.w(), and Log.e() methods to write logs. You can then view the logs in logcat.
The order in terms of verbosity, from least to most is ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, VERBOSE. Verbose should never be compiled into an application except during development. Debug logs are compiled in but stripped at runtime. Error, warning and info logs are always kept.
These are the available methods of the Log class:
Log.d() - Send a DEBUG log message.
Log.e() - Send an ERROR log message.
Log.i() - Send an INFO log message.
Log.v() - Send a VERBOSE log message.
Log.w() - Send a WARN log message.
Log.wtf() - What a Terrible Failure: Report an exception that should never happen.
The methods above (with the exception of Log.w and Log.wtf which have 3 possible patterns of arguments) require the following arguments:
String tag, String msg:
tag: Used to identify the source of a log message. This value may be null.
msg: The message you would like logged. This value may be null.
String tag, String msg, Throwable tr - Similar to the first pattern, but allows for an exception to be specified. This pattern should be used if you want to log an exception to the log output.
(For Log.w and Log.wtf) String tag, Throwable tr Similar to the third pattern, but does not allow for a message to be specified. Note that you can still pass a message but it should be in the second arrangement of arguments.
EDIT: Going straight to answer your question: println() of System.out and System.err will still be displayed in logcat but with limitations.
You can't log VERBOSE, ERROR, or DEBUG using System.out or System.err.
You can't define your own tag, it will display System.err or System.out with your text. For instance:
System.out.println("Hello!") is equivalent to Log.i("System.out","Hello!")
System.err.println("Hello!") is equivalent to Log.w("System.err","Hello!")
System.out.println("") in android will not run well because there is no Terminal that the app is corrected to.
You would be better off using Log.(d)(v)(e)(i)(w), because there is something actively monitoring LogCat.
System.out.println() will print to LogCat, but only after an additional set of System instuctions, making it not as efficient, however, as i said, it still works.
if we want to trace the android project
we can do it using Log class
there is some methods like
Log.e(TAG,MESSAGE)
Log.v(TAG,MESSAGE)
Log.w(TAG,MESSAGE)
Log.d(TAG,MESSAGE)
Log.i(TAG,MESSAGE)
its a static method of Utils package. put it line by line and u can watch it in the LogCat..
thats at enjoy with android
From your own link:
System.out.println() (or printf() for native code) should never be
used. System.out and System.err get redirected to /dev/null, so your
print statements will have no visible effects. However, all the string
building that happens for these calls still gets executed.
In addition, at the beginning of that page, it says:
The rules below are not guidelines or recommendations, but strict
rules. Contributions to Android generally will not be accepted if they
do not adhere to these rules.
So DON'T do it!
You can use the built in Log utility that will print right out to the LogCat.
You can use Log.e(String, String) for errors which will appear in red. There is also v, d, i, and w for verbose, debug, info, and warning respectively.
The following should do the trick to print the exception
1. Log.d("myapp", Log.getStackTraceString(new Exception()));
or
2. You can get longer stack traces by digging deeper. For example:
Log.getStackTraceString(e.getCause().getCause());
Log is the best way to trace our android project
like following code...
it will help u...
just look in DDMS logCat that how exactly project is build...
requirement... android.utils.Log; package is used..
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
for(int i=0;i
{
Log.e("i = ",""+i);
Log.v("i = ",""+i);
Log.i("i = ",""+i);
Log.w("i = ",""+i);
Log.d("i = ",""+i);
}
}
i hope it will help u
i am struck with passing String array from one activity to another using intent. while passing only a String from two activities, its work clear. but whenever i tried to access string array i am getting force close error. can any one guide me to rectify the problem.
You can use just the Intent.setExtra(String, Serializable) method. It accepts any Serializable object. If that does not work, please attach results from your LogCat, "Closed unexpectedly" just means your app failed, LogCat tells why it failed.
use Parcelable to do this.
please refer to this link http://shri.blog.kraya.co.uk/2010/04/26/android-parcel-data-to-pass-between-activities-using-parcelable-classes/
