Is there a limit to how much of a string Logcat will print?

Question

I'm trying to figure out whether my code is pulling the whole of an RSS feed by printing the result to logcat, but it appears to only display so much of the aforementioned string. So I'm trying to figure out if theres a problem with the code or whether logcat has a limit on large strings.

Answer 1

I believe it caps the string on 1000 characters. You could split the string and then log it piece by piece like below :

int maxLogStringSize = 1000;
for(int i = 0; i <= veryLongString.length() / maxLogStringSize; i++) {
    int start = i * maxLogStringSize;
    int end = (i+1) * maxLogStringSize;
    end = end > veryLongString.length() ? veryLongString.length() : end;
    Log.v(TAG, veryLongString.substring(start, end));
}

hope this helps.
