I need to get the Android device timestamp in the format hh:mm:ss:SS. I am able to view the time displayed in the Logcat of Eclipse. Is it the computer's time or is it the Android device's time?

From the docs of logcat you can see that there is an option to specify how the output is formatted (-v).

To get a timestamp, you can use the command

logcat -v time

This will prefix each message with a timestamp.
