Is there a log broadcast in android?

Question

I'm writting an app and there are a lot of LOG.d() statments to check the behavior of my code.

Now I want to write the result of all this LOG.d() statements in an listview to see them on my device when they appear.

Is there something like an log broadcast witch I can receive in my activity or do I have to add the logic for my listview log to all the places where LOG.d() is called again?

Or is there maybe an other way to achieve this?

You can simply use Process to execute the logcat command on the device itself, and stream its output.

Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("logcat -<flags>");
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(
                    new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));

String line;
while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
    //code here
}

Check Amit_android's answer in this question.

You can read the generated file and display it in your app.

I recommend you to execute the "logcat -c" command before start writting the logcat to the file so you you can have just your app's logs. Remmeber to add the required permissions: – Sebastiandg7 Jun 22 '16 at 17:58
