## Start contributing :hammer_and_wrench:
Make sure you read [SETUP.md](https://github.com/nextcloud/android/blob/master/SETUP.md) and [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/nextcloud/android/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) before you start working on this project. But basically: fork this repository and contribute back using pull requests to the master branch.
Easy starting points are also reviewing [pull requests](https://github.com/nextcloud/android/pulls) and working on [starter issues](https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22starter+issue%22).
### Getting debug info via logcat :mag:
#### With a linux computer:
- enable USB-Debugging in your smartphones developer settings and connect it via USB
- open command prompt/terminal
- enter `adb logcat | grep "$(adb shell ps | awk '/com.nextcloud.client/{print $2}')" > logcatOutput.txt` to save the output to this file
**Note:** You must have [adb](https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html) installed first!
#### On Windows:
- download and install [Minimal ADB and fastboot](https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-2-9-18.2317790/#post-42407269)
- enable USB-Debugging in your smartphones developer settings and connect it via USB
- launch Minimal ADB and fastboot
- enter `adb shell ps | findstr com.nextcloud.client` and use the second place of this output (it is the first integer, e.g. `18841`) as processID in the following command:
- `adb logcat | findstr > %HOMEPATH%\Downloads\logcatOutput.txt` (This will produce a logcatOutput.txt file in your downloads)
- if the processID is 18841, an example command is: `adb logcat | findstr 18841 > %HOMEPATH%\Downloads\logcatOutput.txt` (You might cancel the process after a while manually: it will not be exited automatically.)
#### On a device (with root) :wrench:
- open terminal app *(can be enabled in developer options)*
- get root access via "su"
- enter `logcat -d -f /sdcard/logcatOutput.txt`
- you will have to filter the output manually, as above approach is not working on device
or
- use [CatLog](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nolanlawson.logcat) or [aLogcat](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat)
**Note:** Your device needs to be rooted for this approach!
