Did you try View > Tool Windows > Android? - fasteque
There is an option in your Toolbar to check your logs by enabling (DDMS i.e. android icon) or else in bottom you can check Android>>Devices | logcat. - Gru

In my Windows 10 "Help/Show Log In Explorer" goes to "This Computer" view and it does not go to the directory where the logs are. The logs can be found manually in C:\Users\<yourid>\.AndroidStudioPreview\system\log - Tickseeker

On toolbar -> Help Menu -> Show log in explorer.

It opens log folder, where you can find all logs

On a Mac, the idea.log is contained in

/Users/<user>/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio/idea.log

The new stable version (1.2) is in

/Users/<user>/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio1.2/

The new stable version (2.2) is in

/Users/<user>/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio2.2/

The new stable version (3.4) is in

/Users/<user>/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio3.4/

(From auspicious99 comment) On MacOS Catalina and Big Sur (at least), Android Studio 4.1, the idea.log can be found in,

/Users/<user>/Library/Logs/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/

There is no way to get the logs for installing problems.

Had a hard time finding the logs because the IDE was crashing on launch, if you are on Mac and use Android Studio 4.1 then the logs location may be found at /Users/{user}/Library/Logs/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/

And to be specific for me it is on macOS Big Sur

You could open Messages or Event Log tool window to see your log. In addition to that if you want to see device log then you could open Logcat tool window to view your log : View > Tool Windows > Logcat enter image description here

The path to the log files in Windows has been moved.

They appear to be under C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\caches\trunk-system\log\idea.log in Android Studio 4.1.1

MacOS version

Help -> Show Log in Finder

In my case it is:

/Users/alex/Library/Logs/Google/AndroidStudio4.2/idea.log

In ubuntu it should be under

/home/user_name/product_name/system/log

where user_name is logged in user name and product_name could be e.g. .AndroidStudio1.5

In windows version

you can find the log in the bottom of the IDE, click the "Gradle Console", and then choose the "Android Monitor". You will see a Droplistbox control which shows "Verbose" as a default value.

If you use log.v() . Verbose option is okay. if you use log.d(), just change it to Debug.

So when you run your emulator, you can catch your log from this window.

Hope this helps someone: on Mac OS X, the logs are within /Users/<user>/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio<version>/
