Android device + console log

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

I’m trying to run ionic on an android device and see console logs. I’m using below but never seeing logs. Am I missing something? Or is this broken/not possible?

Command:
ionic run android -l -c -s

Version Info:

Cordova CLI: 6.5.0
Ionic Framework Version: 2.2.0
Ionic CLI Version: 2.2.1
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.2.0
Ionic App Scripts Version: 1.1.4
ios-deploy version: Not installed
ios-sim version: Not installed
OS: Windows 10
Node Version: v4.3.1
Xcode version: Not installed

Use the command:
ionic run android -l -c -s --debug

Also have a look at the explanation with:
ionic help run

Thanks @slange. The added --debug flag added more output during the build, but still no logs to the ionic console. After producing the .apk I get LAUNCH SUCCESS, and then nothing.

You can inspect the webview of the app with chrome dev tools: chrome://inspect/#devices
Launch the app via ionic run android --device, wait until it is launched, then openen the previously mentioned URL in chrome and select your device.

Thanks @davidstrauss. I knew that was possible. I just thought my simple option above was the easiest, and it doesn’t seem to work.

I think thats because you need an adb connection to get console logs. AFAIK Android logcat will also print them if thats of any use to you.
