Thanks. Window->Show View -> (other) LogCat then writing to that window with Log.v(String sc, String msg) works. This brings up another question or comment from the code example on your link.

Why do you (and Google) use the "public static final String TAG" syntax for a class label when you could just use this.getClass().getSimpleName() which seems simpler and safer? Don't reinvent the wheel. Eliminate TAG. Log.v(this.getClass().getSimpleName(), "this is the message" );
