Error: stream did not contain valid UTF-8 about rogcat

[flxo]

The output of logcat is supposed to be text. Seems in your log stream someone is printing something weird. Can you please check the output of adb logcat -b all for something non ascii?

Maybe rogcat should replace non printable stuff with some kind of placeholder.

How about replacing unprintable characters with \xVAL? Would keep the information intact without killing the stream.

[flxo]

There is String::from_utf8_lossy which uses U+FFFD as a replacement. Not sure how to effectively iterate over the array and check for UTF8 validity.

[drahnr]

Well, utf8 is multibyte to essentially you would need to start from a known good and then have a state machine track each character along the bytestream, but who does that?

*_lossy is good enough.

@flxo Here is a sentence that make stop rogcat but work with logcat:

Thanks for the report!

I pushed #5c0194 which allows non UTF8 bytes in the input. They will be replaced with �. Seems like some people put weird stuff into their logs ;-).
