How to get a Debug Output window on Android

Post by Pierre55 »

Hi,

I'm looking a way to have a window on the Adroid platform that will show all the DebugPrint().

Thanks

Pierre.

If you have a RapaGUI display open, you could use something like this:

Code: Select all

Function p_DebugOutput(DebugStr$)
	moai.CreateDialog([[<dialog id="DebugOutput" title="Debug Output:">
		<vgroup>
			<label>]]..DebugStr$..[[</label>
		</vgroup>
	</dialog>]])
	moai.DoMethod("DebugOutput", "showmodal")
EndFunction

Hi,

Thank you... but If I don't have a RapaGUI open can you tell me how to open one?

Bye!

The best way to debug on Android is to open LogCat on a desktop PC and then use DebugPrint() to send data to LogCat.

That look easier.... LogCat is it part of an Android Emulator like BlueStacks?

BTW what Android Emulator is best to test Hollywood script ?

Thank you.

I never test on emulators but only on real devices. You can start LogCat from ADB like this:

Code: Select all

adb logcat
This allows you to capture all debug output from your device...
