How to read Debug.Log when using Android?

Question

I just tried my app on Android and it suddenly doesn't work well (on Windows it works fine). Is there a way to see unity console's errors and debug.log messages- when I run the device on Android?(I use development mode and script Debugging).

I connected adb to the device, and can also use logcat and filter to "unity", but it still shows a crazy log.

All I want to see is a clean log that shows errors and my Debug.Log messages which I usually can see easy and clear on the Unity Console on Unity on Windows.

If you have android studio you can use it's logcat. Or in cmd you can run this command

adb logcat -s Unity PackageManager dalvikvm DEBUG

LogCat doesn't seem to capture Debug.Log messages.

For everyone looking now here: There is also a Logcat Plugin available in the Package $$anonymous$$anager. You can read the Android Logs directly in your Unity Editor. Edit: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.mobile.android-logcat@1.2/manual/index.html

I watched your video, but monitor.bat cannot be opened. "'lib\monitor-location' couldn't be found. ..." Any ideas how to fix?

hi :) had you installed the Android SD$$anonymous$$ correctly? Did you install it through the Android Studio installation? Are you in the correct path for your SD$$anonymous$$? I have another possible solution for the logs by printing the logs into a file. You can see the tutorial here :link text

I hope this helps you :)

Just in case, I had the same problem lib\monitor-location not found, and this is how I solved it:

First, because I have several Unity versions installed in my PC, each one with its own Android tool installs, I ran adb in the specific folder of my Unity Version (e.g. C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2019.3.0f3\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK\platform-tools
The monitor.bat spits and error in my case, complaining that lib\monitor-location cannot be found, so I navigated to C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2019.3.0f3\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK\tools\lib\monitor-x86_64 and ran monitor.exe from there.
That didn't work either, complaining that there was no JDK installed, so I added temporarily the JDK to the path by doing "set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2019.3.0f3\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\OpenJDK\jre\bin" and only then I could run monitor.exe
