There is also a Logcat app available for android.

Provided you have root on your phone you can use the logcat utility in the Terminal application:

# logcat
D/dalvikvm(  142): GC freed 200 objects / 8744 bytes in 254ms
etc..

It displays the same log (/dev/log/main) as the adb logcat command that was suggested in another answer.

Run 'adb logcat' on the command line of your PC would also work. You want to see the log output on the device's screen though? Hmm, why? I don't believe you can call up a shell or access the logs from an application, unless your device is rooted.

What you can do, of course, is create a TextView in your app, and update its contents with whatever message you like.
