Android- the DDMS shows the message: logcat read: Invalid argument

Question

So how can I fix this problem. It seems my DDMS is broken down.

It really helped by plugging in/unplugging the device, followed by the command 'adb logcat -c'

In my case the log stopped every time i uploaded a new version of my app to the phone.

issuing the command "adb logcat -c" followed by unplug/plug worked fine.

Thx for the hints.

Is it a real device, or the emulator?

If you're getting that from a phone, logging might be disabled. try this in adb shell:

echo 1 > /sys/kernel/logger/log_main/enable
echo 2 > /sys/kernel/logger/log_main/priority

But, if you're getting that after a while (some logs get printed, then it stops), try:

adb logcat -c

Should be one kinda bug in android plugins.

Restarted the a. ADB server(adb kill-server, adb start-server) , b. eclipse and c. re-connected the device (real phone) .

This helped me to get DDMS Logcat back to normal.
