How to get debug logs in runtime?

Debug console in Android Studio prints me these messages:

W/ViewRootImpl[LauncherSettingsActivity]: Dropping event due to no window focus: MotionEvent { action=ACTION_MOVE, actionButton=0, id[0]=0, x[0]=154.80649, y[0]=462.0374, toolType[0]=TOOL_TYPE_FINGER, buttonState=0, metaState=0, flags=0x0, edgeFlags=0x0, pointerCount=1, historySize=0, eventTime=598901019, downTime=598899893, deviceId=5, source=0x1002 }

...

Is there any way to access these logs in runtime? I would like to get MotionEvents from logs and dispatch them manually to an activity, like that: someActivity.dispatchTouchEvent(myMotionEvent)

Run logcat in your app

Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("logcat -d -s -vtime *");

Now your logs will be available via the process.getInputStream()

You may also specify other flags for logcat command line

https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/logcat

PS. Though I think an attempt to use the logs within application to manage motion events is a really bad idea.
