After upgrading to Android Studio 2.3, my Log.d reports are no longer showing up in the run menu. I rebooted my machine twice. Strangely, the reports are showing up when I run an app on my physical device, but not for the emulator.

  • I tried restarting the logcat, restarting studio twice and rebooting once. Still no Log.d lines showing up in the 4: Run menu or the 6: Android Monitor. – Jay Mar 03 '17 at 15:27

  • That did it Thanks! At least they are showing up in the LogCat. They used to show up in the 4: Run menu as well, but it works for me. – Jay Mar 03 '17 at 16:27
  • Just had to do this *again* after upgrading Android Studio from 2.3 to 3.0. Guess these were missed by the "import preferences from 2.3" process. – jk7 Oct 26 '17 at 20:53

According to this bug report, this seems to have been an intentional change in 2.3:

This worked for me: the mistake I was making was leaving out the message. For example I was only providing the first string parameter (the tag) and leaving the actual message out:

Log.d("MyTag", "")

When I stopped putting an empty string as the 2nd param and putting a random Char, or anything for that matter in the 2nd param then it showed up in my LogCat, otherwise it got skipped.

Hope this helps someone!
