How am I supposed to follow Logcat with the new format

I’m confused on how I would start up the log cat with the new format. I can’t edit or change anything which is rather frustrating when I want to follow the books instructions. It’s hard to work with things that you don’t know. I saw someone put tag:MainActivity but it didn’t work it showed me blank result. Any help would be appreciated.

Create New Logcat Filter as shown in Figure 3.5 of the book is now outdated. Instead click Logcat icon near bottom left of screen to bring up Logcat as shown with left green arrow in image. Then type in ‘tag:MainActivity’ in the text area shown with the up green arrow. If you tried this and it didn’t work, as you said your result was blank, then you likely didn’t have the emulator running the app you were working on (Shift + F10).
