If you want to see the logs , Please use logcat, in Eclipse(that comes with android SDK).

Go To:

Window --> Show View --> other --> search LogCat

In LogCat you can see the logs for both Application under test and your test project. To use android's inbuilt logging library , you can do something like Log.d ("I am a Log"); In LogCat you can filter your preferred logs by creating a filter by clicking on the + button there.

If you want to wait for some log to appear or assert some log messages use the following methods:

solo.waitForLogMessage(String logMessage, int timeout);
