Consult IDE log for more details (Help | Show Log)

This question is related to android android-studio

The answer is


The path to the log files in Windows has been moved.

They appear to be under C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\caches\trunk-system\log\idea.log in Android Studio 4.1.1


In windows version

you can find the log in the bottom of the IDE, click the "Gradle Console", and then choose the "Android Monitor". You will see a Droplistbox control which shows "Verbose" as a default value.

If you use log.v() . Verbose option is okay. if you use log.d(), just change it to Debug.

So when you run your emulator, you can catch your log from this window.


Had a hard time finding the logs because the IDE was crashing on launch, if you are on Mac and use Android Studio 4.1 then the logs location may be found at /Users/{user}/Library/Logs/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/

And to be specific for me it is on macOS Big Sur


On a Mac, the idea.log is contained in

/Users/<user>/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio/idea.log

The new stable version (1.2) is in

/Users/<user>/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio1.2/

The new stable version (2.2) is in

/Users/<user>/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio2.2/

The new stable version (3.4) is in

/Users/<user>/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio3.4/

I had the same problem and after some searching I was able to find my logs at the following location:

C:\Users\<yourid>\.AndroidStudioPreview\system\log


C:\Users\bob.AndroidStudio2.3\system\log


You could open Messages or Event Log tool window to see your log. In addition to that if you want to see device log then you could open Logcat tool window to view your log : View > Tool Windows > Logcat enter image description here


For Android studio 3.4.2 go to View -> Tool Windows -> Logcat.

Hope this helps someone: on Mac OS X, the logs are within /Users/<user>/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio<version>/


There is no way to get the logs for installing problems.


My Android Studio is 3.0, please follow the two steps below,hope this will help;) First step. Second step


In ubuntu it should be under

/home/user_name/product_name/system/log

where user_name is logged in user name and product_name could be e.g. .AndroidStudio1.5
