Answer 1

In your Android Manifest, set debuggable=false

<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" 
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" android:debuggable="false">

Answer 2

If you want to reduce what will be printed to the final log file on a production device, you can use proguard within the build to "eliminate" the log.x calls within the code.

As an alternative you can also always wrap calls to the logger within

if (!prodcutionCode)
       log.d("Some debug logging");

Answer 3

You can use proguard to strip the production apk of logging calls. See Is there an easy way to "deactivate logging" prior to releasing your app on the market? for more info.

Answer 4

The easiest way to strip out the log lines is to let Proguard do it for you, as in the answer to this question:

Deactivate any calls to Log before publishing: are there tools to do this?

Answer 5

u can create logcat filter by ur own, so ur logcat size will decrease... hope this will helpful to u
