PID Cat
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
An update to Jeff Sharkey's excellent [logcat color script][1] which only shows
|
|
log entries for processes from a specific application package.
|
|
|
|
During application development you often want to only display log messages
|
|
coming from your app. Unfortunately, because the process ID changes every time
|
|
you deploy to the phone it becomes a challenge to grep for the right thing.
|
|
|
|
This script solves that problem by filtering by application package. Supply the
|
|
target package as the sole argument to the python script and enjoy a more
|
|
convenient development process.
|
|
|
|
pidcat com.oprah.bees.android
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of the output when running for the Google Plus app:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Get the script:
|
|
|
|
* OS X: Use [Homebrew][2].
|
|
|
|
brew install pidcat
|
|
|
|
* Others: Download the `pidcat.py` and place it on your PATH.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure that `adb` from the [Android SDK][3] is on your PATH. This script will
|
|
not work unless this is that case. That means, when you type `adb` and press
|
|
enter into your terminal something actually happens.
|
|
|
|
To include `adb` and other android tools on your path:
|
|
|
|
export PATH=$PATH:<path to Android SDK>/tools
|
|
|
|
Include that line in your `.bashrc` or `.zshrc`.
