## Getting help :rescue\_worker\_helmet:
|
|
|
|
Note: The section *Known Problems / FAQs* below may already document your situation.
|
|
|
|
If you need assistance or want to ask a question about the Android app, you are welcome to [ask for support](https://help.nextcloud.com/c/clients/android) in the [Nextcloud Help Forum](https://help.nextcloud.com). If you have found a probable bug or have an enhancement idea, feel free to [open a new Issue on GitHub](https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues).
|
|
|
|
If you're not sure if something is a bug or a configuration matter (with your client, server, proxy, etc.), the [Nextcloud Help Forum](https://help.nextcloud.com) is probably the best place to start so that you can get feedback (you can always return here, after getting feedback there, to report a suspected bug).
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind, that this repository only manages the Android app. If you find bugs or have problems with the server/backend, you should use the Nextcloud Help Forum to ask for help or report the bug to the [Nextcloud server team](https://github.com/nextcloud/server)!

## Logs
|
|
|
|
### 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 --pid=$(adb shell pidof -s 'com.nextcloud.client') > logcatOutput.txt` to save the output to this file
|
|
|
|
**Note:** You must have [adb](https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html) installed first!
|
|
|
|
#### On Windows:
|
|
|
|
* download and install [Minimal ADB and fastboot](https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-2-9-18.2317790/#post-42407269)
|
|
* enable USB-Debugging in your smartphones developer settings and connect it via USB
|
|
* launch Minimal ADB and fastboot
|
|
* enter `adb shell pidof -s 'com.nextcloud.client'` and use the output as `<processID>` in the following command:
|
|
* `adb logcat --pid=<processID> > "%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\logcatOutput.txt"` (This will produce a `logcatOutput.txt` file in your downloads)
|
|
* if the processID is `18841`, an example command is: `adb logcat --pid=18841 > "%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\logcatOutput.txt"` (You might cancel the process after a while manually: it will not be exited automatically.)
|
|
* For a PowerShell terminal, replace `%USERPROFILE%` with `$env:USERPROFILE` in the commands above.
|
|
|
|
#### On a device (with root) :wrench:
|
|
|
|
* open terminal app *(can be enabled in developer options)*
|
|
* get root access via "su"
|
|
* enter `logcat -d --pid $(pidof -s com.nextcloud.client) -f /sdcard/logcatOutput.txt`
|
|
|
|
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!
|
|
|
|
