Description-en: Colored adb logcat that shows entries for specific apps
An update to Jeff Sharkey's excellent logcat color script which only shows
log entries for processes from a specific application package.
.
During application development you often want to only display log messages
coming from your app. Unfortunately, because the process ID changes every
time you deploy to the phone it becomes a challenge to grep for the right
thing.
.
This script solves that problem by filtering by application package. Supply
the target package as the sole argument to the Python script and enjoy a more
convenient development process.
