When I flip into that alternate reality known as Debug time (the Debug Perspective of Eclipse becomes active), I want LogCat to always be there; it's not, and I have to open it manually/explicitly each time. Can I "train it" to always be there when Debug time rolls around?
In the lower left corner, there should be an icon that shows show view as a fast view when you hover over it, click it then LogCat and dock it where you want. That works on my Galileo version's Debog perspective. If that's what you're doing and it still doesn't stay, try running eclipse in as administrator.
I had the same problem. The answer , for me, was that all the items in the icon view at the bottom of the window occupy the same window. On the left side of the row of icons is one that looks like a couple of windows. Click on that and it restores the window to be fixed.
Hope this helps

Sometimes the program runs into an infinite loop, or the LogCat contents are too lengthy for the Logcat to display them all. In that case, we need to terminate execution in the middle of it. How can we do that?
I can't no more see the red square I once used to see in the console window when coding Java.
It's not about debugging because what would a breakpoint do in the case of an infinite loop?
Another question is that my logcat won't dock to the right side of the window in eclipse. Instead when I try to drag the Logcat window to the right side (where the "outline" window and "restore" button is present- I want to dock is beside them), the mouse pointer starts showing this sign: How do I dock the Logcat button on the right side (It is docked to the left in the above picture) ?
1. To stop app in the middle of execution:
- go to Devices window or open it:
- - from Debug perspective: Window -> Show View -> Devices
- - from other perspectives: Window -> Show View -> Other... -> type "Devices" or just find
- select process you want to stop (it should be launched from the same instance of Eclipse)
- press stop button on the toolbar
Note. "Red button" isn't visible when Eclipse doesn't know what to stop. It happens when you simply start your app (not for debugging) or debug several apps at the same time (in this case you should explicitly choose process in the Debug window to activate "red button").
2. There is usually no problem to dock logcat to any side of the hosting window - just drag it to the middle of required window side.
Update
Sometimes Eclipse UI behaves strange as a result of accumulation of minor configuration changes (including during updating etc). You may try to move <YourWorkspace>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.e4.workbench\workbench.xmi file to some backup location and start Eclipse.
It may require to reconfigure some of your settings. If you are not satisfied just move original workbench.xmi back.
Weird thing is I can't see your screenshot. something wrong with my browser or something else.
I have added my screenshot, you'll see a red button on the tool bar. Go to Window->Show Toolbar if your toolbar is not visible.
Changed my comp, and now I am able to see your screenshot.
As for your Want-Logcat-to-Right problem, Try Window->Reset Perspective it should give you the same layout as my screenshot above and when you minimize it, it would hide to the right of the window like the screenshot below
The title said it all,
How to maximize logcat's windows on android studio?
Right now my logcat's windows is very small and i need to scroll it to view it's message.
Thanks
You can use the resize pane handles to make it bigger, or use the settings option (a cog icon on the right of the DDMS pane) to choose floating mode, and maximise that window.
I have indicated all the trivial steps to be sure to fit every preset configuration of Android Studio, once implemented will take roughly 200 milliseconds to maximize Logcat!
The document is divided in Settings( to do only one time) and then The real shortcut ( to do once the settings are in memory):
Settings:
1)Alt+6 to open the Android debug window( you do not need this step if you are in the middle of the debugging, namely if you pressed the debug button)
2)Drag with the mouse the tab logcat putting it in front of the others( probably ADB logs, Memory, CPU for android studio 1.3.1), in this way the system will remember this preset.
The real shortcut:
When you are in debug mode, press Alt+6 (in the case Logcat is not appearing as main table),and CTLR+SHIFT+quote where quote means the " Quote Key
LOGCAT will be maximized, to switch to debug alt+5, no need to press again Ctrl+Shift+Quote! Please notice that if it is set Debug only this application from the dropdown menu you won't see a lot of events, so it is up to you to decide to select No Filters (if you want to see the Error only,Tab in the Dropdown menu where is written Verbose and change it with Error.)
All in all once the settings are correct Alt+6-->Ctrl+Shift+Quote( to maximize)-->Alt+5 to go back on the debugger table
EDIT: There is a second possibility depends by your taste: from the main Debug screen ( Table Debugger) you can press Ctrl+Shift+Quote then the key TAB, and then Arrow Right, Left to switch between Logcat,Debugger and Console. Personally I use this option only when I have a long debug because is useful to switch between Debugger and Logcat with Alt+Arrow
Even better (on OS X at least, perhaps others?): SHIFT-COMMAND-' toggles maximize / minimize
When I run my Android app in Eclipse I can see the emulator on the toolbar but the window appears to be off the screen. Clicking on the icon in the toolbar makes it flash in or out from the right but I cannot see it.
I have had this problem before but I cannot remember how I resolved it.
You could try this.
or
(Windows 7 only)
Hover over the window icon in the task bar so that the preview appears, right click on the preview and select "move." You should then be able to move the window with the arrow keys. You may have to hold down the arrow key for what seems to be a very long time.
As dell116 said:
Hover over the window icon in the task bar so that the preview
appears, right click on the preview and select "move." You should then
be able to move the window with the arrow keys.
But as soon as you have used one of the arrow keys, then move the mouse, and... voilà, the window turns up in front of us, just following the mouse movements. Place the window where you want and click the mouse's left button to release it.
None of the tricks here worked for me. What I had to do was in Windows right click background (desktop) select screen resolution. From there change the resolution to a smaller resolution. The window provided me with the window bar that was cut off, simply drag like normal. After I got it where I got it where I wanted it, I just changed the resolution back.
You can also right click on taskbar->properties change Taskbar location on screen to something else, Apply, and then you can set it back this will put your windows on screen.
Another one is right clicking on the taskbar->Cascade windows - this will put every window together in cascading order which is annoying but it does guarantee all windows will go on the screen.
In Windows 10,I faced the same problem. My solution is like that;
Start Android Studio
Select the Android Studio from ALT+TAB Menu(If'nothing happens,just relax :) )
Now press ALT + Space combination
Click Maximize
Now you may use the ide :)))
I faced the exact same problem. I tried the solutions suggested by Daniel and dell116. At first it did not work as the "Move" option seems to be disabled. However, during my final attempt it worked. I found out that you can only use this method only when the OS is starting up (i.e. when it is showing the android logo).
Good news is that after doing this once, it will stay in the desired position for future runs.
I am somewhat new to android and I am setting up my view perspectives (that i am fairly anal about). I want to have logcat showing on my normal editing perspective.
But I go into Window>Show View>Other Views.. select android and logcat. And the window does not show up. Sometimes it grayed out.
If I switch to the DDMS perspective it shows up just fine.
What am I doing wrong?
thanks!
Try the following in eclipse.
Windows->close all Perspective
Windows->Open perspective->Java EE
Window->show view->other->Android->LogCat
to solve the problem reset the setting by following this print screen on right corner java->reset will reset the settings
than run your app and console and logcat will apear
First of all check if adb logcat is working as in some cases logging is disabled with kernel options by default (on the device).
I had a similar issue but it had to do with my page not updating. I had a shortcut bar with Logcat(Depreciated) and when I added Logcat View it would not update the shortcut bar. I had to move the bar and then it updated the icons.
TL;DR - Try moving shortcut bars around
my Eclipse DDms window not showing anything(empty logcat,empty file explore... etc) while running my app in emulator. Sometime it works if i restart eclipse but not all time. why such type of hanging...
Even i face the same problem number of times. What i use to do is go to DDMS and click on the emulator name which is displayed in left side of the window under title "Name" in the Devices-view. Now Logcat will begin to display sequence of events. If this doesn't works then reset adb by clicking the down arrow in the left side of the DDMS window under the title "Devices". Hope this solves your problem
I had this problem today. TryWindow > Reset Perspective like this:
