How to get ADB logcat with specific tag in appium?

Question

i want to get the ADB logcats for a specific tag(ex: testing_aws) through APPIUM. actually i have done this directly from console like follows

• I navigated to /home/jagadeesh/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools
• Then i ran this commandadb shell logcat | grep testing_aws which is successfully given the data as expected
• Now i want to achieve same data through appium
• i have seen some solutions like List<LogEntry> adbLogs =driver().manage().logs().get("logcat").filter(Level.ALL); which it will give complete device logs, but i couldn't found a way to filter with specific tag (ex: testing_aws)
• So if there is a way to filter by tagname and get the output through appium please help me.

Answer 1

You can first get all logs

List<LogEntry> logEntries = driver.manage().logs().get("logcat").filter(Level.ALL);

And then you can filter your log.

for (LogEntry logEntry : logEntries) {
    if (logEntry.getMessage().contains("testing_aws")) {
        System.out.println(logEntry.getMessage());
    }
}

If you want to add the filtered log in the file, you can do it like following:

List<LogEntry> logEntries = driver.manage().logs().get("logcat").filter(Level.ALL);
File logFile = new File("path to store file"+"filename"+".txt");
logFile.getParentFile().mkdirs();

PrintWriter log_file_writer = new PrintWriter(logFile);
for (LogEntry logEntry : logEntries) {
    if (logEntry.getMessage().contains("testing_aws")) {
        log_file_writer.println(logEntry);
    }
}
log_file_writer.flush();
