Android: ADT doesn't recognize the format of Nougat logcat

I have an "old" ADT:

Eclipse IDE for Android Developers  23.0.2.1259578  adtproduct

connected to a Nougat Pixel C.

ADT doesn't succeed to read properly the format of logcat as shown on this screenshot:

There was no problem before the upgrade to Nougat, aka with Marshmallow. Is there anything to do (except abandoning ADT...)?

Solution

  • Issue:
    -Eclipse is no longer supported by Android
    -Android Nougat/7 this broke (new LogCat protocol I read)

    Eclipse fix (custom build)

    -Download: https://github.com/khaledev/ADT/releases ADT-24.2.0-20160729.zip
    -Eclipse menu Help->Install New Software... -> Add -> Archive...
    -Select the downloaded zip -> Ok -> Check box next to "Developer Tools" -> Next -Proceed with install defaults

    Quick Alternative Fixes:
    -"adb logcat" (\SDK\platform-tools\ADB.exe) (easy, but console style)
    -\SDK\tools\monitor.bat (Android Device Monitor) (easiest option)
    -\SDK\tools\DDMS.bat (Dalvik Debug Monitor) (deprecated but still works)
