How can I enable logs in the ownCloud Android app?
Before starting trying to break the app, it’s very important and useful for us, the developers, to have a record of what’s happening in case the app misbehaves. Due to this, enabling logs and sending them to us is the best way of help improving the app and offering the best user experience.
Enabling logs
By default, logging is disabled. To activate them, you have to go to Settings > Logging > Enable logging. Since the moment they are on, logs will keep track of every event occurring in the app. These DON’T include user’s sensitive information, so they can be used safely.
Watching and sharing log files
Once logging is enabled and some actions have been performed within the app, log files will be created. To see them, you have to go to Settings > Logging > Log files. There, you can easily share them tapping on the share icon.
How can I send my feedback to ownCloud developers?
If you find a bug or want to make any suggestions, please participate in one of these channels:
– Open a new issue on GitHub: https://github.com/owncloud/android/issues
– Open a new topic on central: https://central.owncloud.org
Your feedback would be highly appreciated!
Enjoy the new 4.8.0 version! ![]()
