Helper functions to make java logging funny on Android
Supports logcat, file logging with memory buffer, sharing zipped log file and install uncaught exception handler.
The lib uses native java logging and is very small.
Add the content provider to your application manifest
<provider
android:name="at.pansy.android.logging.helper.LogFileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.logfileprovider"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true" />
Initialize logging in your application class
public class DemoApplication extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
LoggingHelper.configure(this, "logging-demo", true, Level.FINE);
LoggingHelper.setupUncaughtExceptionHandler();
}
@Override
public void onTerminate() {
LoggingHelper.flush();
super.onTerminate();
}
}
In your application use java logging
logger.config("This is a debug log entry");
logger.info("This is a info log entry");
logger.warning("This is a warning");
logger.severe("This is a error");
try {
throw new RuntimeException("This is a runtime exception");
} catch (Exception e) {
logger.log(Level.SEVERE, e.getMessage(), e);
}
logger.log(Level.WARNING, "this is a formatted {0}", new Object[] { "message"});
It's easy to share your log
LoggingHelper.shareLog(MainActivity.this, "help@yourcompany.com", "This is a logging demo");
