Pro Android 2: What does system.out.println in Android?
<p>To the best of my (current) understanding, Android has no console to send the messages to so the System.out.println messages get lost. Instead, Log.x (outputing to LogCat) should be used.</p>

<p>Yet, in the acclaimed Pro Android 2 book, <a href="http://apress.com/book/downloadfile/4529" rel="nofollow">listing 8-1</a> does just that:</p>

<pre><code>    in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));

    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("");
    String line = "";
    String NL = System.getProperty("line.separator");
    while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
        sb.append(line + NL);
    }
    in.close();

    String page = sb.toString();
    System.out.println(page);
</code></pre>

<p>Does <strong>System.out.println</strong> really work in Android or is it only a typo?</p>

<p>If the former (i.e. <em>not</em> a typo), what does it really do and where should I expect to find the output?</p>
