Getting debug info via logcat 🔍

With a linux computer:

  • enable USB-Debugging in your smartphones developer settings and connect it via USB
  • open command prompt/terminal
  • enter adb logcat | grep "$(adb shell ps | awk '/com.nextcloud.client/{print $2}')" > logcatOutput.txt to save the output to this file

Note: You must have adb installed first!

On Windows:

  • download and install Minimal ADB and fastboot
  • enable USB-Debugging in your smartphones developer settings and connect it via USB
  • launch Minimal ADB and fastboot
  • enter adb shell ps | findstr com.nextcloud.client and use the second place of this output (it is the first integer, e.g. 18841) as processID in the following command:
  • adb logcat | findstr <processID> > %HOMEPATH%\Downloads\logcatOutput.txt (This will produce a logcatOutput.txt file in your downloads)
  • if the processID is 18841, an example command is: adb logcat | findstr 18841 > %HOMEPATH%\Downloads\logcatOutput.txt (You might cancel the process after a while manually: it will not be exited automatically.)

On a device (with root) 🔧

  • open terminal app (can be enabled in developer options)
  • get root access via "su"
  • enter logcat -d -f /sdcard/logcatOutput.txt
  • you will have to filter the output manually, as above approach is not working on device

or

Note: Your device needs to be rooted for this approach!
