**Logcat window in Android:**Generally, Lolcat window is used for **displaying some message in android studio**, such as **displaying system messages, any types of error or exception,** and add some messages in your android app with the Log class. The **Log class** allows you to create **log messages** that **appear in logcat window.** And you should also use the following log methods to print message in logcat. **\****Printing Message in Logcat window :**

- Log.e(Tag, Message) ---- display error message.
- Log.w(Tag, Message) ---- display warning message.
- Log.i(Tag, Message) ---- display information message.
- Log.d(Tag, Message) ---- display debug message.
- Log.v(Tag, Message) ---- display verbose message.

**\****For restarting your app use following code in your android application.** Intent i = getBaseContext().getPackageManager(). getLaunchIntentForPackage(getBaseContext().getPackageName()); i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP); i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); startActivity(i); \
