Added in ability for Non Rooted Android Devices to use this App!
I've been thinking about how to get this App to work with Non Rooted Devices since day 1!
Always figured I'd have to write some Computer App or Script to broadcast to Non Rooted.
That's still an option I'm wanting to work on is PC communication. But for now lets try this hack :)
The command is only needed to be issued once per boot of device.
You'll need USB Debugging Enabled on your Android Device. You'll need the binary executable ADB from the Android SDK You'll need a USB cord to connect your Android Device to Computer
With USB Debugging turned on Plug Android Device into Computer Open a Terminal or Command Prompt on Computer Navigate to location of ADB and issue this command
adb tcpip 5555
This enables ADB over WiFi on your Android Device.
That's it! Then just set RRLogcat to not use Root and start Reader! :)
It'll continue to work til Reboot of Android Device, or issuing this command to stop ADB over WiFi
adb usb
Which disables connections over WiFi and relies back to debugging with USB
/* (: END UPDATE :) */
If you are a Developer, you know Logcat.
With #R Logcat, you can make debugging a breeze!
#R Logcat isn't only for Developers, if you are a curious person wanting to see what your apps are doing in the background or you are a beta tester, #R Logcat can be put to use.
#R Logcat can view logs saved or received on external storage. Allows for zipping up of raw Logcat text and associated logged app icons and saving to storage for later viewing, or sending.
#R Logcat can connect devices over WiFi for viewing of logs remotely. Can debug Phone device and broadcast to Tablet for larger viewing and for seamless testing on Phone without having to switch Apps while debugging.
Many more features and improved usages to come :)
Latest Root Required Logcat update
Added in a Option to use the Local Logcat Reader on devices without Root! It's still in test, but no Root is Required!
You need a Computer with ADB from Android SDK available to issue a command to your Android device to enable ADB over TCPIP.
