Debugging

Prerequisites​

Before debugging, be sure you have the following:

  • A supported Poly hardware device on which you've enabled development mode. Development mode enables Android Debug Bridge (ADB) connections and the writable file system.
  • A computer with ADB installed.
  • A touchscreen connected to the hardware device.

Debugging from Android Studio​

With ADB connected, you can push the APK from Android Studio or use standard command-line tools to install and start the package.

Logging​

Use the standard Android method to manage logging.

For native apps, we recommend using the application logcat, which places the app logs under an app-specific log directory.

For apps using third-party log libraries, we recommend using external storage. To do this, use the following:

Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/logs/"

In both cases, the log retrieval mechanism built into the codec pulls these logs and places them in the combined log package.

The same is valid for the controller.
