W wl Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 7, 2013 #1 Hi, In a previous thread I asked whether it is possible to view the logs with an Android app. It turns out that Jellybean (4.1) and onwards only allow logs to be shown when the device has been rooted. Hence my question: would it be possible for the application to read it's own logs ? Or should I write the log records myself somehow ? BTW: are the Android logfiles limited in space ? Or is there a mechanism in it that it automatically truncates the oldest records ? Thanks
