If i have an alert in my app
alert("howdy");
What do i have to do to view that alert using the adb logcat command? I've tried adb logcat *:v but nothing shows up - even though I can see the alert in the running app!
alert() shows a dialog in Android, doesn't do any console/adb.
However, if you want things to show up you should use logging tools
If you dive into documentation you need to use the debug, info and error methods to insert different levels of logging.
console.log(), console.warn() and console.error() work too.
