Color of adb logcat in Ubuntu command line


I use a python script I found here :

Modifying the Android logcat stream for full-color debugging

It's really easy to use and to modify if you want.

If you have NPM, you could install module:

$ npm install -g logcat

that will provide you to start monitoring colored logcat in console and //127.0.0.1/.

$ logcat

Here is description


I wanted something dead simple and didn't want to import some gigantic script that parses and reformats the output, so I came up with this. This literally just prints exactly the input line, adding color codes accordingly.

#!/usr/bin/env pythonimport sysimport subprocessimport csvDEFAULT = "0;37;49"ERROR = "0;91;49"WARNING = "0;93;49"INFO = "0;92;49"DEBUG = "0;94;49"VERBOSE = "0;97;49"try:    proc = subprocess.Popen(['adb','logcat', '-v', 'time'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)    for line in iter(proc.stdout.readline, ''):        l = line.split(None, 3)        try:            level_and_tag = l[2]            if level_and_tag.startswith('E/'): color = ERROR            elif level_and_tag.startswith('W/'): color = WARNING            elif level_and_tag.startswith('I/'): color = INFO            elif level_and_tag.startswith('D/'): color = DEBUG            elif level_and_tag.startswith('V/'): color = VERBOSE            else: color = DEFAULT        except IndexError as e:            color = DEFAULT        print '\x1b[%sm %s \x1b[0m' % (color, line.strip())        #sys.stdout.write('\x1b[%sm %s \x1b[0m' % (color, line))except KeyboardInterrupt:    # Make sure color gets set back to terminal default    print '\x1b[%sm %s \x1b[0m' % (DEFAULT, ">>> Exit")

Note that this works on the standard -v time format, but of course can be modified to fit whatever format you like.
