Question

Nanoflow log messages

0

Hi All, this may be a silly question but how can we see the messages with the log nanoflow action? I know locally these show in the console but what about when the APK is being run on an android device? For example I have a nanoflow that logs a simple message for push notfications as below How do I see this log message for an apk running on a device connected to an acceptance node. Can anyone point me into the right direction.

Hi,

Did you read the documentation about debugging your native app?

This part explains how to get the log files out of a device

Hope it helps!

Hi Phil,

In addition to Lennart's answer, there also a additional way of capturing client errors or log messages from nanoflows and getting them in your database. Be sure to check out the solution described by Sylvia Wentzel in a webinar from MXW2020. It starts around 8:40 https://www.capegroep.nl/how-to-build-a-scan-app-with-native-mobile/

The solution is to write these messages to a log entity and sync them to your backend. Make sure to apply the correct sync settings to keep the sync lightweight.
