How to show only logcats that I have explicitly written in Android Studio

Question

When I try to debug my app with logcats in android studio, a bunch of unwanted logs(related to android OS or whatever) are showing which makes my logs hard to be found.

I know that I can filter logs by using certain TAGS but I was wondering if there is any better way of seeing ONLY the logcats you have explicitly written in your own code without writing a regexp which includes all your TAGS.

For example I can use this regexp for 3 tags:

MainTagName|SomeTagName|SomeOtherTagName

but I have to update it everyTime.

If using Android Studio to view logcat, there is a built in option for it. Open up logcat, then in the top right corner of the logcat window, hit the drop-down next to Regex, and click "Edit Filter Configurations."

Enter a filter name (anything you want), and then put your tag in the "Log Tag" field.

If using logcat via terminal, you can grep for your tag:

adb shell logcat | grep -E "tag1"

What if I have 10 tags (One for each activity). Should I add them all and update it everytime I add a new TAG? Isn't there any automatic way to do this for me? – Kwnstantinos Nikoloutsos Apr 14 '19 at 12:27
