Android Solutions
Solution 1 - Android
In Eclipse, Goto Window-> Show View -> Other -> Android-> Logcat.
Logcat is nothing but a console of your Emulator or Device.
System.out.println
does not work in Android. So you have to handle every thing in Logcat. More Info Look out this Documentation.
Edit 1: System.out.println is working on Logcat. If you use that the Tag will be like System.out and Message will be your message.
Solution 2 - Android
Write "LogCat" in Quick Access edit box in your eclipse window (top right corner, just before Open Prospective button). And just select LogCat it will open-up the LogCat window in your current prospect
Solution 3 - Android
In the Window
menu, open Show View
-> Other ...
and type log
to find it.
Solution 4 - Android
In the "Window" menu, open "Open Perspective" -> "Debug".
click On the plus image icon(you see the below image at status bar), and then select "Logcat"....
Solution 5 - Android
Go to your desired perspective. Go to 'Window->show view' menu.
If you see logcat there, click it and you are done.
Else, click on 'other' (at the bottom), chose 'Android'->logcat.
Hope that helps :-)
