Whenever you start a new activity, you see a log which looks like this in the 
ADB Logcat,

08-10 16:02:48.875: INFO/ActivityManager(114): Starting activity: Intent { 
cmp=com.google.android.gm/.HtmlConversationActivity (has extras) }

These logs which have a tag of "ActivityManager" and their message field starts 
with text "Starting activity"(which basically signifies the beginning of an 
intent) do not show up in the list shown by the application.

I was noticing this bug too in how I wanted to use this app. The issue seems to 
be with setting the buffer flag sent to logcat. For some reason, logcat does 
not display the "Starting activity..." messages in either the main, radio, or 
events buffer. However, if you take out this flag completely, then it shows up 
in the logs. 

The current build doesn't let you do this though. Attached are some quick 
changes to make this happen. You'll need to select "None" under the 
"Preferences->Buffer" after the change and compiling this (I didn't make it the 
default).

in stead of adding a "none" option, would it be simpler to just modify the code 
to not send the buffer argument if it's the default buffer (main)?

thanks for your help.

I hadn't looked into the logcat buffers much until the other day, but I think 
you're right that it's probably simpler to just leave out the buffer argument 
if "main" is selected. It should be the default buffer, not sure why the 
argument would cause the "Starting activity" messages to be dropped, but that's 
the only difference I saw between sending the argument for main or leaving it 
out completely.
