      You can use the Lua's print function to display messages at Output view of Gideros Studio:
      print("Hello")
      or more simply
      print"Hello"

      Sorry to bring this back, but I was talking about log messages which show up in adb logcat for android.

      @atlim, I really need it. I have a prototype ready, and it's messing up all over the place and I am not sure why. More over I am an android developer by profession, so I have a habit of looking into logcat messages. Is there nothing we can do?

      hmm.. I may miss a point. While running your game in the gideros player (android, ios or desktop player), print("message") shows the message at the output window of the gideros studio. I wonder why you prefer logcat instead of viewing your messages at output window?

      it is useful when you are testing the .apk file. Unable to view massages that i print inside the lua function make errors that only could be discovered by not using the gideros player (e.g. in app billing testing) harder to debug.

      it will save much time to be able to output some messages rather than to guess where the trouble is. please consider this

      @speeder_kidoteca unfortunately not, it is recommended to make a Gideros player with your preinstalled plugins and test it that way:

      Is there still no way to get messages from inside an app running on a device to logcat or something else? What about this one? http://developer.android.com/tools/debugging/debugging-log.html
