/* 2015.02.28 */ What it is!

Added in ability for Non Rooted Android Devices to use this App!

I've been thinking about how to get this App to work with Non Rooted Devicessince day 1!

Always figured I'd have to write some Computer App or Script to broadcastto Non Rooted.

That's still an option I'm wanting to work on is PC communication.But for now lets try this hack :)

The command is only needed to be issued once per boot of device.

You'll need USB Debugging Enabled on your Android Device.You'll need the binary executable ADB from the Android SDKYou'll need a USB cord to connect your Android Device to Computer

With USB Debugging turned onPlug Android Device into ComputerOpen a Terminal or Command Prompt on ComputerNavigate to location of ADB and issue this command

adb tcpip 5555

This enables ADB over WiFi on your Android Device.

That's it! Then just set RRLogcat to not use Root and start Reader! :)

It'll continue to work til Reboot of Android Device, or issuingthis command to stop ADB over WiFi

adb usb

Which disables connections over WiFi and relies back to debugging with USB

/* (: END UPDATE :) */

If you are a Developer, you know Logcat.

With #R Logcat, you can make debugging a breeze!

#R Logcat isn't only for Developers, if you are a curiousperson wanting to see what your apps are doing in the backgroundor you are a beta tester, #R Logcat can be put to use.

#R Logcat can view logs saved or received on external storage.Allows for zipping up of raw Logcat text and associated loggedapp icons and saving to storage for later viewing, or sending.

#R Logcat can connect devices over WiFi for viewing oflogs remotely. Can debug Phone device and broadcastto Tablet for larger viewing and for seamless testingon Phone without having to switch Apps while debugging.

Many more features and improved usages to come :)
