In this particular link, the Android Studio screenshot is of the older version, whereas the 3.6 Android Studio had a different UI.
We need to change it :)

I am ready to take up the issue if mentors permit for it

Also these directions are outdated, logcat is right there in a tab in AS now.
Or you can use logcat directly

adb logcat > logcat.txt

Maybe we should just link to the official docs

Bhavnaharitsa commented

@macgills Yes Ma'am, linking to the official docs will be more useful. But what about downloading Android Studio all such instructions? Should they be kept or can be removed? Please enlighten :)

macgills commented

I'd say keep the installing & enabling dev options. At 4 reference the docs, take out all images and maybe suggest the user copy and paste the logs? I don't know if there is any particular documentation philosophy at play here, maybe @misaochan or @domdomegg can weigh in

This sounds good to me, it reduces the burden on us to keep up to date with AS updates.

Agreed, happy for someone to make that change. Feel free to tag me for a review if necessary.

'yes, I can make the change but could you suggest me a good IDE to edit docs?

Well I use Android studio because I am using it already, there is markdown support for you to preview as you type
image
but if you don't have AS already I do not recommend downloading it for markdown editing alone, seems like overkill.
From a quick google this is open source?

Okay thanks. I use Android Studio too. This seems good.
