kinfra-logging-logcat

Straightforward integration of kinfra-logging with Android Logcat.

Installation

Build script:

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}

dependencies {
    implementation("com.github.frost13it:kinfra-logging-logcat:0.1")
}

Application class:

class MyApplication : Application {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        // Should be performed as early as possible
        DefaultLoggerFactory.delegate = LogcatLoggerFactory()
    }
}

Usage

After the installation, just use kinfra-logging as usual:

class MyActivity : Activity() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        ...
        logger.info { "Created" }
    }
    
    companion object {
        private val logger = Logger.currentClass()
    }
}

Execution of this code puts the following message into Logcat:

I/MyActivity: Created

Configuration

A message will be logged only if it is allowed by Log.isLoggable(tag, level).

By default, minimum log level on Android is INFO. To change it, set the property log.tag to the desired level's abbreviation:

adb shell setprop log.tag D

Level of a particular tag can be set via a property log.tag.<tag>, for example:

adb shell setprop log.tag.MyActivity D

Beware that these properties affect all the applications on the device.
