How to install the log view on Windows? #242

Closed idk-278 closed 2 years ago

Hey, I am quite new on Github and I can't figure out how to download the log file and use it on my PC.

I tried downloading the ZIP file from the green-colored "CODE" button but cannot figure out where will I find the log viewer.

Help will be appreciated, thank you in advance.

Hi, looks like you're downloading the code archive. It isn't very useful unless you're going to build the tool from the sources. Binary releases can be found under the "Releases" link on the main page: releases

On the individual release page you can find the binary archive under "Assets": single release

Then you can unpack the archive wherever you want and use bin/andlogview.bat to run the tool.

Note that you have to use Java 8 (or higher) installed separately and either have the path to the folder containing java executable in PATH environment variable or JAVA_HOME environment variable set to the folder containing the Java installation. If you want to capture the live logs from the connected device, then you need the adb tool as well, you can get it as part of the Android SDK with Android Studio or standalone. On Windows it is probably necessary to have device drivers for the phone as well.
