adb shell Logcat with Package Name

Is it possible to also display the Log's Package Name in each line?
Using

logcat -v long

leaves exactly the package name field (after PID) empty.
I want to filter the Logs from a specific application with different Tags, just wondering if it is possible.

Solution

  • logcat record does not have a "package name field". Therefore there is no standard/built-in way to filter by it.

    Although since Android 7.0 you can use logcat --pid option combined with pidof -s command to filter output by binary/package name:

    Windows

    adb shell "logcat --pid=$(pidof -s <package_name>)"

    Linux/MacOS

    adb shell 'logcat --pid=$(pidof -s <package_name>)'
