Basically I have the exact same problem as this guy:

Eclipse LogCat shows only the first letter from each message

But the answer provided does not work for me. The accepted answer tells to go to this location and do some stuff:

~/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.prefs

However when I try to go there, I don't have the "com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.prefs" file. If I check what files are there, I get this:

Contents of the folder

As you can see, not even a mention of anything android.

So how do I fix this? Maybe there is some package I should've installed but haven't?

Also, I'm using Eclipse 4.5.0 (Mars) on ubuntu 14.04.

First of all, just create the file with the name : com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.prefs you already written.

After that for invisible log messages and columns : I made it work by making one change at a time like this:

First just add those lines and save the file, restart Eclipse.

ddms.logcat.auotmonitor.level=error  
ddms.logcat.automonitor=false  
eclipse.preferences.version=1  
ddms.logcat.automonitor.userprompt=true  
logcat.view.colsize.Level=54

Exit eclipse, add the lines below one at a time, restart eclipse, exit eclipse.. repeat the process for all lines once.

logcat.view.colsize.Application=169  
logcat.view.colsize.Time=156  
logcat.view.colsize.Tag=124  
logcat.view.colsize.PID=54  
logcat.view.colsize.Text=202

At the end of this annoying process, you should have all columns in logcat that you had written on that file.(com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.prefs)

Put the following content into .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.prefs (.metadata folder exists in your Eclipse workspace dirctory):

com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.adbDebugBasePort=8600
com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.explorer.info=68
com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.explorer.name=94
com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.explorer.permissions=68
com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.explorer.size=44
com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.explorer.time=34
ddms.logcat.auotmonitor.level=error
ddms.logcat.automonitor=false
ddms.logcat.automonitor.userprompt=true
devicePanel.Col0=319
devicePanel.Col1=38
devicePanel.Col4=61
eclipse.preferences.version=1
emulatorControl.track.name=155
emulatorControl.waypoint.name=95
heapPanel.col0=1276
logcat.view.colsize.Application=133
logcat.view.colsize.Level=44
logcat.view.colsize.PID=44
logcat.view.colsize.TID=44
logcat.view.colsize.Tag=98
logcat.view.colsize.Text=712
logcat.view.colsize.Time=131
logcat.view.filters.list=name\: 'com.android.settings', tag\: '', text\: '', pid\: '', app\: 'com.android.settings', level\: 'verbose', name\: 'ActivityManager', tag\: 'ActivityManager', text\: '', pid\: '', app\: '', level\: 'verbose',
logcat.view.font=1|Sans|11.0|0|GTK|1|;
threadPanel.Col0=24
threadPanel.Col1=37
threadPanel.Col2=61
threadPanel.Col3=34
threadPanel.Col4=34
threadPanel.Col5=272
threadPanel.stack.col0=503

You may need to repeat this if you create a new workspace and switch into it.

  • Thank you very much for your answer. After deleting the spaces behind the columns, logcat finally displays all columns. I already had given up on logcat in eclipse ever working properly. – chevalier Jan 26 '16 at 13:27
