Hi!

I have just noticed that your app is outputting logs in a slightly different format that the one specified on Android Developer website: https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/am-logcat#format

There it is described as date time PID-TID/package priority/tag: message

Outputted from your app, it seems like it is rather [date time PID:TID priority/tag] message

Is there something I am missing in the official documentation?

I believe this was a choice that was made initially (can't remember the reason exactly, maybe to be able to load the saved/exported logs back into the app). Logs can be exported in one of the two formats below:

[date time PID:TID priority/tag]
message

or

[date time PID:TID priority/tag] message

At the time I didn't think it mattered enough to keep the same formatting. Curious if it does though.
