You’ll need to duplicate one of the main schemes (if you haven’t already) so that you can modify it. In your preferences, either search for “logcat” or manually go to Editor > Color Scheme > Android Logcat.

There are a number of hoops to jump through, but none of them are difficult. Configuring this aspect of the scheme could definitely be easier. Or maybe they do know, and they find it a tedious exercise. It seems that most people don’t know that we can customize the output. I’ve been asked about my logcat scheme a lot recently. We can configure the logcat output colors. Thankfully, Android Studio at least empowers us to fix this problem ourselves. The DDMS logcat styling was colorful and much easier on the eyes than the default Android Studio color schemes. Until recently, DDMS was even available within Android Studio, but it was deprecated in 3.1 and removed from 3.2. ADT included the DDMS (Dalvik Debug Monitor Server), and the logcat output the DDMS provided out of the box was styled much better than the default Android Studio styling. It’s also a lot nicer to look at, in general.īack in the days before Android Studio, we used Eclipse with ADT (Android Developer Tools). Doing this makes it significantly easier to find the output you might be looking for. The default color scheme for logcat output in Android Studio only uses a couple of colors so most of the log looks exactly alike! We can apply a new color scheme to help customize logcat. If you are working with a device that has a large amount of logcat output, it can be frustrating to search for the few, relevant lines. Logcat output can be difficult to read at times.
