LogCat programatic filtering in Android

I want to create an arraylist of logcat data as follows: time level tag text ..... Example :

06-13 13:34:43:434 W myApp blehblehbleh

How do I filter the logcat to obtain this result? More precisely, what goes into the .exec(" ") part to get these values because "logcat -d" seems to get everything.

    log = new ArrayList<String>();
    try {
        process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("logcat -d");
    } catch (IOException e1) {
        e1.printStackTrace();
    }
    bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
    try {

        while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null){
            log.add(line);

     }

This will print all the logs from YOUR_TAG_HERE and it will filter out the rest:

logcat -d YOUR_TAG_HERE:V *:S

You could simple to do a

if (line.contains("myApp")) log.add(line);

in your loop to only add lines from your app. In your current setup that seems like the quickest way.
