Debugging Android: How to see console log, while using cordova?

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

HI everyone :slight_smile:

I just implemented [push notifications](https://ionicframework.com/docs
/native/push/) in my app.

I debugged iOS using XCode. There you can see your console logs.

My problem is now that I can’t debug Android. When I run the app on my phone using: ionic cordova run android -l -c -s --bug I can see logs, but it’s not using Cordova. How can I make sure Cordova is running and still see the logs on Android?

Does anyone have an idea how to do this?
Here is my Ionic Info btw:

Did you remote debug the problem on the device/emulator already? Follow these instructions here to debug the problem in Chrome dev tools: https://ionic.zone/debug/remote-debug-your-app#android

First of all thank Sujan for having my back :smiley: You always answer my problems lately! Thank you very much for that :slight_smile:

I don’t really know what you mean with your question. I can’t debug the problem on the device, since I don’t see console logs and I need Cordova.

Click the link, follow the instructions, and you will see the console logs of the app running on your device with Cordova.
