This article is about application logging in Android which consists of dumps a log of system messages, including stack traces when the device throws an error and messages that have been written by the application. These can be retrieved via logcat. Gadgetbridge also provides a way to save the application log into a file, which can then be read.
Log File Contents
Please keep in mind Gadgetbridge log files may contain lots of personal information, including but not limited to health data, unique identifiers (such as a device MAC address), music preferences, etc. Consider editing the file and removing this information before sending the file to a public issue report.
When sharing a log file, please try to make it as short as possible. If you already had logging enabled, disable and reenable it before doing the things that you want to get logged. Disable logging when you're done with that. That way, we will not have to wade through huge log files looking for the actual relevant lines.
Log File Location
If you enable Gadgetbridge's logging in the "Settings" → "Write Log Files", the log file will be stored in the Export/Import application folder called "files". Location of this application folder depends on Android version but in modern Android, the folder path is /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/nodomain.freeyourgadget/files/. Older Android might have this folder on your external sdcard in /sdcard/Android/data/nodomain.freeyourgadget.gadgetbridge/files/. The log file is named gadgetbridge.log.
Accessing the Export/Import folder
The Export/Import folder can be normally accessed via some file manager. Under Android 11 and newer versions, the Export/Import folder can only be accessed via file manager that is using the new Scoped Storage system of Android.
One popular FLOSS file manager which is able to do this is a Simple File Manager Pro, link to: Google Play, F-Droid:
