- Print Android test log into terminal/console
While debugging some Android instrumentation tests that were ran using ‘adb shell am instrument’, I needed to print some logs into the terminal/console to inspect the flow and resolve some issues.
Log.i/e/d or System.out are not printing the logs in the terminal. I had to look for another solution and I found one over the internet(see below).
fun logToConsole(stringToPrint: String) { val bundle = Bundle() bundle.putString( Instrumentation.REPORT_KEY_STREAMRESULT, stringToPrint ) InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation().sendStatus(0, bundle) }
Using the function above helps printing logs into the console or terminal you are using to run the instrumentation test.
