Is System.out.println() completely compatible with Android?

Question

I have this code:

for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++) {
    if (i <= 3 || i% 3 == 0) {
        System.out.println(i);
    }
}

The output in LogCat is correct:

But when I change System.out.println(i); for System.out.println("hi"); or any other object or number the output in LogCat is:

hi
hi

It should be a 5 xhi list. Is this a bug in Android or is it my system? Thanks in advance.

Maybe you are just unlucky and it is `hi hi hi something-else hi hi`. — johnchen902, Jun 30 '13 at 00:45
Unfortunately `hi hi` is the last thing printed by LogCat after the `Showing myApp in 933ms` message. — Ricardo, Jun 30 '13 at 00:53
run `adb logcat` from the console, that wont accidentally hide messages — zapl, Jun 30 '13 at 00:58
If you put hi in the loop and add an extra sysout at the end/outside of loops, then what happens? — Juned Ahsan, Jun 30 '13 at 01:08
It is solved now, I ran `adb logcat` from the console and it showed everything. Zapl, please post it as an answer to mark it as accepted. Thank you very much. — Ricardo, Jun 30 '13 at 15:08

System.out.println() is compatible with Android. Im not sure what you are doing, but when I run the code you gave I get the following outputs:

(System.out.println("hi");)
06-29 20:42:43.645: hi
06-29 20:42:43.645: hi
06-29 20:42:43.645: hi
06-29 20:42:43.645: hi
06-29 20:42:43.645: hi

(System.out.println(i);)

06-29 20:44:00.380: 0
06-29 20:44:00.380: 1
06-29 20:44:00.380: 2
06-29 20:44:00.380: 3
06-29 20:44:00.380: 6

I believe its a bug in either your system or the version of Android you are running. I can tell you the output above was running on API 15.

I'm using API 17, also de Log.i() method fails, I'll dig in and see what I can do. Thank you very much. — Ricardo, Jun 30 '13 at 00:49
