What you have written there will print your result out in Logcat but it will be hard to see. There are two things you could try:

Replace

System.out.println(str);

with

System.out.println("****************************************************");
System.out.println(str);       
System.out.println("****************************************************");

It will be hard to miss that.

What people usually do though, is print out in Logcat format. Here's the code on how to do it:

Log.i(tag, str);

'tag' here is a string and it will show in a left-hand column in Logcat. This makes it extremely easy to identify as you can add a filter to just show the log with your selected tag. This is the recommended way to do it, but you can use the standard System.out.println(). It does work, just really hard to see.
