How to find the logs on Android Studio?

I have tried to import my project to Android Studio and I got this error. I need to know where I can get the logs.

Consult IDE log for more details (Help | Show Log)

For me on Windows, it was at:

%LocalAppData%\Google\AndroidStudio2023.1\log\idea.log

On toolbar -> Help Menu -> Show log in Explorer or Show log in Finder (for Mac users).

It opens log folder, where you can find all logs.

Android Studio find a log

MacOS version

Help -> Show Log in Finder

If you got here because you can't start an emulator and Android Studio gives you that error message:

kill qemu-system-x86_64.exe and adb processes

(Windows 10)

On a Mac, the idea.log is contained in

/Users/<user>/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio/idea.log

The new stable version (1.2) is in

/Users/<user>/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio1.2/

The new stable version (2.2) is in

/Users/<user>/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio2.2/

The new stable version (3.4) is in

/Users/<user>/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio3.4/

(From auspicious99 comment) On MacOS Catalina and Big Sur (at least), Android Studio 4.1, the idea.log can be found in,

/Users/<user>/Library/Logs/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/

Just because none of these pointed to the correct location on my Win10 system

C:\Users[User Name]\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio4.2\log\idea.log

The path to the log files in Windows has been moved.

They appear to be under C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\caches\trunk-system\log\idea.log in Android Studio 4.1.1

Had a hard time finding the logs because the IDE was crashing on launch, if you are on Mac and use Android Studio 4.1 then the logs location may be found at /Users/{user}/Library/Logs/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/

And to be specific for me it is on macOS Big Sur

You could open Messages or Event Log tool window to see your log. In addition to that if you want to see device log then you could open Logcat tool window to view your log : View > Tool Windows > Logcat

In windows version

you can find the log in the bottom of the IDE, click the "Gradle Console", and then choose the "Android Monitor". You will see a Droplistbox control which shows "Verbose" as a default value.

If you use log.v() . Verbose option is okay. if you use log.d(), just change it to Debug.

So when you run your emulator, you can catch your log from this window.
