Log.d reports not showing up after Android Studio 2.3 Update

Question

After upgrading to Android Studio 2.3, my Log.d reports are no longer showing up in the run menu. I rebooted my machine twice. Strangely, the reports are showing up when I run an app on my physical device, but not for the emulator.

That did it Thanks! At least they are showing up in the LogCat. They used to show up in the 4: Run menu as well, but it works for me. – Nickelic

Just had to do this again after upgrading Android Studio from 2.3 to 3.0. Guess these were missed by the "import preferences from 2.3" process. – Synopsize

Answer 2

According to this bug report, this seems to have been an intentional change in 2.3:

Answer 3

This worked for me: the mistake I was making was leaving out the message. For example I was only providing the first string parameter (the tag) and leaving the actual message out:

Log.d("MyTag", "")

When I stopped putting an empty string as the 2nd param and putting a random Char, or anything for that matter in the 2nd param then it showed up in my LogCat, otherwise it got skipped.

Hope this helps someone!
