Restore LogCat window within Android Studio

I think I still can find logcat in my installation of 0.1.1

Try pressing Alt+6 on Windows or CMD+6 on Mac.


In Android Studio 3.4, In the case in which Logcat does not appear in View->ToolWindows->Logcat (in that case Alt+6 or CMD+6 will also not work), the way to get the logact window is:

  1. File->Profile or debug APK (choose an APK)
  2. Select new window or use current window.
  3. Logcat is now available through the menu (View->ToolWindows->Logcat) or through Alt+6 or CMD+6

This issue is an indication that something is not configured correctly with the Android Studio project. The above solution can be useful:

  1. As a temporary solution when there are configuration issues with the Android Studio project, that for some reason are causing Android Studio to hide the logcat window.
  2. When trying to use the Android Studio logcat window for debugging an app without an Android Studio project.

Check if you have hidden it... Use Alt+6 to bring up the window and click on the button shown below 'Restore logcat view'
