I want to read Android system level log file.So I use the following code:

        Process mLogcatProc = null;
    BufferedReader reader = null;
    try {
        mLogcatProc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
                new String[] { "logcat", "-d",
                        "AndroidRuntime:E [Your Log Tag Here]:V *:S" });

        reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(mLogcatProc
                .getInputStream()));

        String line;
        final StringBuilder log = new StringBuilder();
        String separator = System.getProperty("line.separator");

        while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
            log.append(line);
            log.append(separator);
        }

    }

    catch (IOException e) {}
    finally {
        if (reader != null)
            try {
                reader.close();
            } catch (IOException e) {}

    }

I also used in AndroidManifest.xml. But I can't read any line. The StringBuilder log is empty. And the method mLogcatProc.waitFor return 0.

So how can I read the log ?
