How to get logcat messages/stack traces from an Android Wearable in DDMS

Question

I noticed that none of my Moto 360's logcat messages are showing up in my DDMS. My wearable device doesnt show up in the list of devices either.

How do I get the logcat output from my wearable into Android Device Monitor?

Answer 1

It turns out I didn't have the option enabled on the watch. Below are the steps I had to do in order to get the logcat output to show up.

1. Go into the Android Wear app on the phone and enable Debugging over Bluetooth
2. Terminal command adb forward tcp:4444 localabstract:/adb-hub; adb connect localhost:4444 adb forward tcp:4444 localabstract:/adb-hub; adb connect localhost:4444
3. Go into Settings on the watch, go to About , and click Build number 7 times
4. Go into Developer options on the watch and enable ADB debugging (you should also enable Bluetooth debugging as well)

That's it!

A couple flaming hoops, but relatively painless. Hope this helps someone.
