Why Android doesn't print the stack trace?

Even explicitly writing e.printStackTrace() it doesn't print to the console, why?

printStackTrace() doesn't print to the console, it prints to the standard error stream. If you want to print to the screen, set your display text to e.getMessage() or e.getStackTrace(). (Although I do recommend learning to debug with logcat instead.)

You cannot print to console on Android. You have to use Android Log class. When I have an exception and I want to print it I'm using:

for (StackTraceElement element : exception.getStackTrace())
    Log.e("my_tag", element.toString());

or you can try

String stackTrace = Log.getStackTraceString(throwable);

And after that you can print it to Android Log.

use Log.X() where X is the type of error console you want(Log.e, Log.v, Log.d, etc.)

Checkout Logcat in DDMS perspective it should be there not in the Console tab.

Or use the ddms command tool to read logcat.
