Debugging Core Daemon Logs on Android

The Rust core daemon uses the log crate with android_logger to output logs to Android's logcat system. All Rust logs use the tag ClippyShare and can be viewed using adb logcat.

Viewing All Core Daemon Logs

To see all logs from the core daemon and Rust bridge:

adb logcat | grep -E "ClippyShare|RustBridge"

Or view all logs with the ClippyShare tag:

adb logcat -s ClippyShare:D

Viewing Specific Log Tags

The code uses the following log tags:

• ClippyShare - All Rust logs (RustBridge, CoreDaemon, AndroidAdapter)
• RustBridge - Kotlin logs from the RustBridge object

Filter by Log Level

View only error logs:

adb logcat *:E | grep -E "ClippyShare|RustBridge"

View debug and info logs:

adb logcat *:D *:I | grep -E "ClippyShare|RustBridge"

Or use tag-based filtering (recommended):

# View all ClippyShare logs (Debug level and above)
adb logcat -s ClippyShare:D

# View only errors
adb logcat -s ClippyShare:E

Clear Log Buffer and Monitor Fresh Logs

Clear the log buffer and start fresh:

adb logcat -c && adb logcat -s ClippyShare:D RustBridge:D

Save Logs to File

Save logs to a file for later analysis:

adb logcat -s ClippyShare:D RustBridge:D > clippy-share-logs.txt

Common Log Patterns to Watch For

• startDaemon called from Kotlin - Daemon initialization started
• Core daemon start - Core daemon is running
• Received clipboard text from Kotlin - Clipboard change detected
• ✅ RECEIVED clipboard data - Daemon received clipboard data
• Broadcasting encrypted data - Data is being broadcast
