Flipper: Add a way to easily only see logs of the selected app

Created on 14 Nov 2018  路  5Comments  路  Source: facebook/flipper

What is shown in the logs screen by default is pretty much useless: there are so many logs that the logs of your app quickly scroll away.

This is easily fixed in Android Studio: select the package of your app, and select the Regex "Show only selected application". In Flipper, not so much. With a right click, you can select PID, find a log by your app and click on this PID.

This isn't very user friendly. Another problem is that the PID of your app isn't consistent, so after a reboot or when plugging in another device, you'll have to find the correct PID again.

Therefore: please add a way to easily see the logs of a specific app which has the Flipper SDK installed.

That's a really good point, which we'd like to improve. We need to find a good way to know which app the logs are coming from and also handle if an app is running multiple processes.

Was just going to create a Github Issue about this.

Would be great to filter the logs based on a selected application, even if I need to type the package name myself.

Not sure if it will help in anyway but Pidcat does this:

I'll take this up
