How to Debug an Android Plugin

Hi there I am just wondering if somebody has a link to or just some advice for how to debug an Android Plugin.

I just need to be able to debug it like I usually would using the console so I can see why its not working.

I know there are loads of bits of 'information' out there but I cannot understand a single thing they say and its driving me insane.

Like this http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/AttachingMonoDevelopDebuggerToAnAndroidDevice.html

Its says 'Ensure your device is on the same subnet mask and gateway as your development machine' What does that mean?!? How do I do that? (I am on Windows 7 btw)

And the second point, and the third?

And this helpful post says

Great... so what does 'with a trailing logcat parameter: $ adb logcat' mean. What do I do with that and how?!?

If anyone could provide some step by step information for people who literally only know how to use Unity that would be amazingly helpful - and should DEFINITELY be added to the standard documentation for EVERYONE.

Hope someone out there can help...

 

logcat is a command line tool, you can use it on Windose with cmd.exe
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/logcat.html
cd to the location of the platform-tools (where you have installed the android sdk) and use it like:
adb logcat -s Unity
It will print the Debug.Log similar to the unity-console.
If you build it as Development Build it will print more information. (i.e. backtrace of the Debug.Log)
For not Unity related information, use another or don't use the filter -s Unity.

Edit:
And to show Log.d(TAG, debugText) of your Plugin use: -s TAG

 

Hey thanks so much for this info. It has been really helpful. I wish they had more detailed info like this in the docs...
