Guide: Sending a Logcat to Help Debug Your Favorite App
Ever have your favorite app suddenly crash on you? Want to help the developer debug what happened? Learn how to capture and filter Logcats with our guide.
It’s happened to us all at one point or another. There’s no shame in admitting it. Sometimes, Android apps crash. Whether you're using a completely stock device to run Google Maps or a highly-customized ROM with an Xposed module to enhance Google Hangouts, application crashes and other issues can occur and even become quite a hindrance. This is especially true in the development of smaller-scale tweaks and applications such as the many found on our website. When issues arise, one of the most constructive and helpful insights the user can lend the developer into the nature of the crash is through providing a Logcat. Although extremely helpful for developers, obtaining this information can seem somewhat daunting for a regular user.
