How to disable new Logcat in Android Studio Giraffe?


I just updated to Android Studio Giraffe 2022.3.1 and the new Logcat mode has been turned on for me. This was off for me in the previous version as I opted out.

Is there a way to keep the old Logcat?

  • Bad news

    I couldn't find a way to go back, and like some have written in the comments it seems like Google have decided to deprecate the good old Logcat.

    Good news

    Like @GuilhermeCamposHazan wrote, you can get pretty close to what we had before Android Studio Giraffe.

    I currently use the "Compact Mode" mode:

    Compact Mode selection

    And use the following settings:

    Settings

    The result is that I can read longer lines and don't have all the extra information that I usually don't need from Logcat.
