Solution 1 - Android
On toolbar -> Help Menu -> Show log in explorer.
It opens log folder, where you can find all logs
Solution 2 - Android
On a Mac, the idea.log is contained in
/Users/<user>/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio/idea.log
The new stable version (1.2) is in
/Users/<user>/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio1.2/
The new stable version (2.2) is in
/Users/<user>/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio2.2/
The new stable version (3.4) is in
/Users/<user>/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio3.4/

On MacOS Catalina and Big Sur (at least), Android Studio 4.1, the idea.log
can be found in,
/Users/<user>/Library/Logs/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/

I had the same problem and after some searching I was able to find my logs at the following location:
C:\Users\<yourid>\.AndroidStudioPreview\system\log

Solution 5 - Android
Just because none of these pointed to the correct location on my Win10 system
C:\Users[User Name]\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio4.2\log\idea.log

There is no way to get the logs for installing problems.

Had a hard time finding the logs because the IDE was crashing on launch, if you are on Mac and use Android Studio 4.1 then the logs location may be found at /Users/{user}/Library/Logs/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/
And to be specific for me it is on macOS Big Sur
Solution 8 - Android
You could open Messages or Event Log tool window to see your log. In addition to that if you want to see device log then you could open Logcat tool window to view your log : View > Tool Windows > Logcat
Solution 9 - Android
MacOS version
Help -> Show Log in Finder
In my case it is:
/Users/alex/Library/Logs/Google/AndroidStudio4.2/idea.log
Solution 10 - Android
Hope this helps someone: on Mac OS X, the logs are within /Users/<user>/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio<version>/

The path to the log files in Windows has been moved.
They appear to be under C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\caches\trunk-system\log\idea.log
in Android Studio 4.1.1
Solution 12 - Android
In ubuntu it should be under > /home/user_name/product_name/system/log
where user_name is logged in user name and product_name could be e.g. .AndroidStudio1.5
Solution 13 - Android
In windows version
you can find the log in the bottom of the IDE, click the "Gradle Console", and then choose the "Android Monitor". You will see a Droplistbox control which shows "Verbose" as a default value.
If you use log.v()
. Verbose option is okay. if you use log.d()
, just change it to Debug.
So when you run your emulator, you can catch your log from this window.

C:\Users\bob.AndroidStudio2.3\system\log
Solution 15 - Android
If you got here because you can't start an emulator and Android Studio gives you that error message:
- kill qemu-system-x86_64.exe and adb processes
(Windows 10)
