    You can use the Lua's print function to display messages at Output view of Gideros Studio:
    print("Hello")
    or more simply
    print"Hello"
  • Sorry to bring this back, but I was talking about log messages which show up in adb logcat for android.

    did you try
    io.output():setvbuf('no')
    and the use print or io.write?

    Currently there is not way to send a log message to logcat.
  • @atlim, I really need it. I have a prototype ready, and it's messing up all over the place and I am not sure why. More over I am an android developer by profession, so I have a habit of looking into logcat messages. Is there nothing we can do?

    hmm.. I may miss a point. While running your game in the gideros player (android, ios or desktop player), print("message") shows the message at the output window of the gideros studio. I wonder why you prefer logcat instead of viewing your messages at output window?
  • it is useful when you are testing the .apk file. Unable to view massages that i print inside the lua function make errors that only could be discovered by not using the gideros player (e.g. in app billing testing) harder to debug.

  • it will save much time to be able to output some messages rather than to guess where the trouble is. please consider this

    @speeder_kidoteca unfortunately not, it is recommended to make a Gideros player with your preinstalled plugins and test it that way:

  • Is there still no way to get messages from inside an app running on a device to logcat or something else? What about this one? http://developer.android.com/tools/debugging/debugging-log.html
