Enhancement: logcat filtering (grep)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be most awesome if we could have the logcat filtered based on a grep 
expression before it is sent. Many of us use tags such as MY_APP_Class1 and 
MY_APP_Class2, etc, and writing all of them in the logcat command line is 
annoying when there is a perfectly functional grep tool available to filter the 
output. Any chance something like this could be implemented in a future version 
of ACRA?

The trunk codebase received 2 months ago a new feature which allows to filter 
the logcat based on the process ID.

Could this be enough ?

Well, I don't know. Is there a way to know what your process id is at run time? 
And does it matter if your app is multi-threaded (worker threads)? How would I 
set up a filter to catch only log entries made by my app?

Yes, ACRA gets the application process ID at run time. 
Multi threading us not an issue (they run un the same process) but multi 
process apps have to be tested.

I don't see how to set up the filter for process ID on the advanced usage page. 
Can you explain how to do this?

You can test this in the new Release Candidate version: ACRA 4.3.0RC.
You just have to enable the logcatFilterByPid option:

s.html#logcatFilterByPid()
