Issue details

It is very helpful for our further analysis and possible bug fixes to have as much details as possible.

Important details are:

  • Used OBD adapter type
  • Connected vehicle make, type, year, engine size
  • Used AndrOBD function
  • Description of problem
  • Sequence how to reproduce the problem

Debug log files

In order to allow AndrOBD to store log files for analysis you will have to grant access rights to the device's storage system. You will be asked for this permission on initial start of the app. This setting may be changed at any time in the app properties within the system settings.

With access rights granted AndrOBD stores log files in a subdirectory on your primary storage device. (com.fr3ts0n.ecu.gui.androbd/log/AndrOBD.log.*)

Log detail level

The detail level of the logged debug information can be adjusted in the Settings > Development options > Logging level.

Available logging level are:

  • OFF is a special level that can be used to turn off logging.
  • SEVERE is a message level indicating a serious failure.
  • WARNING is a message level indicating a potential problem.
  • INFO is a message level for informational messages.
  • CONFIG is a message level for static configuration messages.
  • FINE is a message level providing tracing information.
  • FINER indicates a fairly detailed tracing message.
  • FINEST indicates a highly detailed tracing message.
  • ALL indicates that all messages should be logged.
