Date, log type, and tag are not complete when logging to FilePrinter

[iadcialim]

This is the log in logcat (AndroidPrinter)

This is the log file (FilePrinter)

The differences are underlined in red.
It's missing that infos when logging to file which kinda mess up the formatting.
Any way possible to make it the same with logcat?

@iadcialim The ClassicFlattener use a pattern of {d} {l}/{t}: {m}, there is no line seperator between tag and message.
If you hope the border to be more pretty, you can use a PatternFlattener with a pattern {d} {l}/{t}: \n{m} instead of using a ClassicFlattener.

hi @elvishew thanks. I went with your suggestion above.
Btw, I have this wrapper class

class MyLogger {
    companion object {
        fun print(tag: String, message: String) {
            XLog.tag(tag)
                .printers(AndroidPrinter(false), getFilePrinter())
                .disableBorder()
                .disableStackTrace()
                .disableThreadInfo()
                .i(message)
        }

        private fun getFilePrinter(flattener: PatternFlattener = ClassicFlattener()): FilePrinter {
            val logDir =
                File(ContextUtil.instance.getContext().filesDir?.absolutePath + File.separator + "logs")
            // Log.d("getFilePrinter", "logs=${logDir.absolutePath}")
            return FilePrinter.Builder(logDir.absolutePath) // Specify the directory path of log file(s)
                .fileNameGenerator(MyLogFileNameGenerator("kaas")) // Default: ChangelessFileNameGenerator("log")
                .backupStrategy(NeverBackupStrategy()) // Default: FileSizeBackupStrategy(1024 * 1024)
                // .cleanStrategy(FileLastModifiedCleanStrategy(604800000)) // delete logs older than 1 week
                .cleanStrategy(FileLastModifiedCleanStrategy(86400000)) // delete logs older than 1 day
                .flattener(flattener) // Default: DefaultFlattener
                .build()
        }
    }
}

I use the print function when Im printing a formatted json string

message  = "{"email":"xxx@company.com","password":"Password","companyId":"2123","mobileDeviceId":"234"}"
try {
    // use to check if the message is a JSON string
    // else it will throw JSONException
    JSONObject(message)

    val source: Buffer = Buffer().writeUtf8(message)
    val reader: JsonReader = JsonReader.of(source)
    val value: Any? = reader.readJsonValue()
    val adapter: JsonAdapter<Any> =
        Moshi.Builder().build().adapter(Any::class.java).indent("    ")
    var result: String = adapter.toJson(value)
    // result = result.replace("\t", "")

    // put a newline before print json strings for pretty output
    MyLogger.print("okhttp.OkHttpClient-Iad", "\n" + result)
} catch (e: JSONException) {
    if (message.isNotEmpty()) {
        MyLogger.print("okhttp.OkHttpClient-Iad", message)
    }
}

The result looks good on the file:

But it has some extra spaces in logcat. Please see those in red

I wish for logcat for have the same display with the file.

Seems it is the display style of Android Studio when displaying line-break, not a feature of xLog.
