Android Firebase Crash Reporting difference between Log and Logcat

Question

I am trying to log the error from my app, so I am using the firebase custom logs.

But I found this two as log and logcat.

public static void log(java.lang.String s)

and other is,

public static void logcat(int i,
                          java.lang.String s,
                          java.lang.String s1)

So what is difference and which should I prefer to use?

Answer 1

static void log(String message)
Logs a message that will appear in a subsequent crash report.

static void logcat(int level, String tag, String message)
Logs a message that will appear in a subsequent crash report as well as in logcat.
