Android Log - print link to line of code in c++ file

Question

If you print in log (fileName:lineNumber) you get a nice link in Android Monitor that gets you to that code line when you click on it. This however does not seem to work for my cpp files. Is there a way to achieve this for c++ files?

Edit

I already know how to create string (fileName:lineNumber), but when it is printed in Android Monitor it is not a clickable link. The question is how to make clickable.

[This reference](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/preprocessor/line) might be helpful. — Some programmer dude, Sep 14 '17 at 06:38

To appear as a clickable link in the Android studio Logcat window, (filename.cpp:filenumber) should be associated at least with one file that is part of your AS project:

You can see that some system logs are resolved to clickable links, while the others are not.

In the example above, Socket.java is part of public API, while PlaneSocketImpl.java is not, therefore AS does not show a link for the latter.

Well my cpp files are a part of my project, but through CMakeLists.txt. Perhaps c++ link are just not supported. – rozina Sep 14 '17 at 14:13
How did you add c++ files to you project? – rozina Sep 14 '17 at 14:25
Just regular C++ support enabled. Maybe the trick is that I am on Android Studio 3.0 Beta 5. – Alex Cohn Sep 14 '17 at 14:29
So there is still hope for me :) – rozina Sep 15 '17 at 06:12
