I have tried to import my project to Android Studio and I got this error. I need to know where I can get the logs.

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

Did you try View > Tool Windows > Android? – Marchese 5/11, 2013 at 8:51

There is an option in your Toolbar to check your logs by enabling (DDMS i.e. android icon) or else in bottom you can check Android>>Devices | logcat. – Cancellate 5/11, 2013 at 9:0

In my Windows 10 "Help/Show Log In Explorer" goes to "This Computer" view and it does not go to the directory where the logs are. The logs can be found manually in C:\Users\<yourid>\.AndroidStudioPreview\system\log – Vergeboard 6/4, 2018 at 6:3

On toolbar -> Help Menu -> Show log in Explorer or Show log in Finder (for Mac users).

It opens log folder, where you can find all logs.

@Alston is it a good reason to downvote an answer of 3 years ago? In 2.2.3 the Help is in the same position. Check the toolbar, last entry on the right "Help" then "show log in explorer". – Homologize 17/1, 2017 at 12:20

For mac users, that would be Show Log in Finder – Kerby 3/1, 2018 at 12:44

I got the same error, however the log shows no valuable information yet: 2021-12-07 14:32:10,627 [ 156388] ERROR - intellij.openapi.progress.Task - OS: Linux 2021-12-07 14:32:10,628 [ 156389] ERROR - intellij.openapi.progress.Task - Last Action: 2021-12-07 14:32:10,722 [ 156483] INFO - cState$SyncStateUpdaterService - stopTrackingTask(RESOLVE_PROJECT:0) 2021-12-07 14:32:10,726 [ 156487] WARN - e.project.sync.GradleSyncState - Gradle sync failed: Sync failed: reason unknown (55 s 334 ms) – Furnishings 7/12, 2021 at 11:36

It works only if you have some project opened (at least it's true for my Android Studio Chipmunk | 2021.2.1 Patch 2), so you have to open some project or create at least blank project first – Corpulent 10/8, 2022 at 11:47

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/

(From auspicious99 comment) On MacOS Catalina and Big Sur (at least), Android Studio 4.1, the idea.log can be found in,

/Users/<user>/Library/Logs/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/

can't find AndroidStudio in ~/Library – Gerhart 17/1, 2017 at 11:22

See the full path above (AndroidStudio is in the Logs subdirectory of Library), and remember, this is for the Mac on OSX. – Census 18/1, 2017 at 22:51

On MacOS Catalina and Big Sur (at least), Android Studio 4.1, the idea.log can be found in /Users/<user>/Library/Logs/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/ – Baronage 14/3, 2021 at 4:43

On Monterey (12.5) I found it at ~/Library/Logs/Google/AndroidStudio2021.2 – Proteiform 15/8, 2022 at 21:8

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

Just because none of these pointed to the correct location on my Win10 system

C:\Users[User Name]\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio4.2\log\idea.log

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

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

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

Dissection answered 28/4, 2018 at 3:13 Comment(1)

The question was not asking for event log or logcat, but for the IDE log. Event log is like a subset of the IDE log. – Baronage 27/10, 2020 at 8:16

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

Holism answered 25/10, 2017 at 0:57 Comment(1)

Thanks! They moved it into a Google folder though. It's now in: /Users/<user>/Library/Logs/Google/AndroidStudio<version>/ – Dummy 16/12, 2021 at 13:58

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

If you got here because you can't start an emulator and Android Studio gives you that error message:

kill qemu-system-x86_64.exe and adb processes

(Windows 10)

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

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.
