Logcat to UDP

Wireless logging

N.B. This probably won't work on Android 4.1+.

Simple tool for android development that sends a log to UDP port or share it via
email, bluetooth, etc. Background service is collecting logs and sending them to
destination IP and UDP port. You can send logs to desktop computer through home
wifi network, or to server with public IP or cname.

To listen logs use this python script:

Example: ./listener.py 192.168.1.10 10009

You can also use your desktop syslog server to receive logs.

Permissions
- have full network access
  
  Allows the app to create network sockets and use custom network protocols. The browser and other applications provide means to send data to the internet, so this permission is not required to send data to the internet.
- android.permission.READ_LOGS
- run at startup
  
  Allows the app to have itself started as soon as the system has finished booting. This can make it take longer to start the phone and allow the app to slow down the overall phone by always running.
