How can I view Android app logs directly on a physical device without using Logcat or Android Studio?

A practical solution is to surface debug logs directly on the device UI instead of relying on Logcat.

For example, libraries like Nebula render application logs as real-time notifications, allowing logs to be inspected directly from the notification bar.

Instalation:

debugImplementation "io.github.zihadrizkyef:nebula:1.0.5" releaseImplementation "io.github.zihadrizkyef:nebula-no-op:1.0.5"

Basic setup:

class MyApp : Application() { override fun onCreate() { super.onCreate() Nebula.init(this) } } Nebula.d("Checkout screen opened") Nebula.e("Payment failed")

This approach allows QA or developers to inspect logs on real devices without
Android Studio, while ensuring zero overhead in production.
