Filtering logcat output

I know there are plenty of questions like this but I'm sure my case is a little different.

I KNOW how to create filters for different apps but the problem is that my logcat seems to be printing a lot of opengl and other messages like 'JpgDecHal', 'Input', 'Posix' etc.

I want ONLY the Log.d (or .whatever) statements that I put in my code, not all this other stuff.

How do I make sure I only get what I want rather than this? All is well on most other phones.

Here are a few of the lines displayed (that I don't need):

12-31 10:56:33.921: D/IPCThreadState(2360): [DN #5] BR_CLEAR_DEATH_NOTIFICATION_DONE     cookie 0xcad6e8
12-31 10:56:54.367: D/My Id(2360): [email protected]
12-31 10:56:54.370: I/System.out(2360): [socket][21] connection     /192.168.1.142:80;LocalPort=33289(20000)
12-31 10:56:54.370: I/System.out(2360): [CDS]connect[/192.168.1.142:80] tm:20
12-31 10:56:54.371: D/Posix(2360): [Posix_connect Debug]Process com.nettech.Socialcommunity :80

In addition to all the other suggestions; here's a NOT RegEx that will show you everything except the items you list in the ():

tag:^((?!InputEventConsistency|memalloc|Resources|global|Facade[B|U]|dalvik|skia|szipinf|APACHE).)*$

Of course you need to choose your own terms. These are just examples of items I've put in the filter.

In your filtre put in the classTAG of your app, this will ensure that only logs from your app will appear in the LogCat window.

On the right hand side of the Logcat's search bar there is little box that will (defaultly) have the name verbose on it. When you click on the box, change the name to debug. This will ensure that only Log.d statements will ocurre in the LogCat window.

I hope this helps.

Use a unique tag in all your Log statements, and then filter by that tag only. That way, you'll only get the statements with that Tag, even if your app's process has other logged statements like OpenGL etc.

Something like:

Log.d("MySuperUniqueTag", "My Message");

And then in eclipse filer the LogCat using:

tag:MySuperUniqueTag
